History
Wipro was set up in the backdrop of the small town of Amalner in Maharashtra in 1945. Primarily an oil factory, the chief products were Sunflower Vanaspati and 787 laundry soap (a by-product of the Vanaspati operations). The company was called Western India Products Limited, with a modest presence in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.
In the 1970s Wipro embarked on an ambitious phase of expansion and diversification.
It was in the early eighties that Wipro made its foray into the Infotech arena. An energetic, committed team of professional R & D and marketing managers came together in Bangalore in 1980. With this began the Wipro Infotech story. In a small lab at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), the team developed the first Indian 8086 chip.
Wipro has transcended from being a service provider to being a consultant, guide and trusted partner.
Wipro Limited has achieved a PCMM Level 5 and SEI CMM Level 5 certification as an IT Services Company.
