Wipro said on Friday it continues to face visa application rejections but pointed out that its policy of localisation, which involves hiring the locals, is starting to pay off.
“Overall, there is a stress from the visa standpoint, but our strategy three years back on increasing local hiring and is yielding positive results,” said Abidali Z Neemuchwala, CEO and Executive Director, Wipro. He added that the company is not looking at hiring locals from a cost standpoint.
“The focus should not be on salary but on the roles which are coming up; therefore, we have to look at it from a different context in terms of salary,” he said. The company added that it is replicating its strategy of hiring from the campus in India and training them to be deployed on projects in the US, too.
