While Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Infosys have started gearing up on the expectations of a rise in attrition, Wipro has added about 12,000 employees in the June quarter alone. It is the highest ever in a decade. The company’s IT services workforce crossed the milestone of 200,000 taking the overall headcount to 209,890. Wipro has added more than 12,000 employees, which is 80% of what it had added in FY21 and highest in the last decade, said Thierry Delaporte, chief executive (CEO) and managing director (MD) of Wipro. Like its peers, Wipro is also expecting the attrition rate to go up and hence it has been hiring aggressively. In fact, it will roll out 30,000 offers for freshers to join in FY22. “Attrition, as I had called out last quarter itself, will see an uptick, which is very much in line with the demand environment in the industry,” said Saurabh Govil, president and chief human resources officer at Wipro. <div type="image" title="Wipro attrition" height="900" width="1200" msid="84445950" hostid="261"></div> He mentioned that 80% of the organisation will go through three promotion cycles in 12 months- December 2020, June 2021 and again in December 2021. Besides, the company has been conducting several employee training activities and distributing bonuses to retain its employees. “We had called out last quarter that we will do a skill based bonuses [sic]… Apart from that, to augment the supply chain, we are doing unprecedented hiring in terms of freshers into the organisation. We will be onboarding 6,000 freshers in September quarter, which is the highest every Wipro has done. And we will be rolling out more than 30,000 offers this year for freshers to join us next year,” added Govil. Wipro delivered exceptional results in the June quarter with its acquisition of Capco finally making it onto the books. The company reported 12.2% sequential growth in revenue, out of which 4.9% came organically, while the rest came from Capco, said Jatin Dalal, chief financial officer at Wipro at a press conference held after the announcement of June quarter financial results. Wipro had announced its <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/wipro-share-price-has-outperformed-its-peers-in-the-last-one-year-but-analysts-are-still-cautious-about-giving-it-a-buy-rating/articleshow/81345564.cms">acquisition of Capco</a> on April 29, this year, for a whopping $1.45 billion — the largest acquisition by the company that is expected to boost the consulting segment of the financial services vertical. Analysts had <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/heres-why-wipro-may-show-better-earnings-growth-than-tcs-infosys-and-hcl-tech/articleshow/84201419.cms">expected </a>the company to post a revenue growth of about 9.5% because of Capco acquisition. Moreover, the company has posted a net profit of ₹3,237 crore in April-June quarter, up from ₹2,974 crore in the previous quarter. <div type="image" title="Wipro profit 2" height="900" width="1200" msid="84446016" hostid="261"></div> “Our sequential revenue growth of 12.2% was well ahead of the top-end of our guidance range, both organically and with Capco. Though in the early days yet, I am pleased with the way we have collaborated with Capco to build our joint go-to-market offerings and strategy. We remain focused on deepening our customer relationships, investing in talent and capabilities for the future, and winning market share,” said Delaporte. <div type="image" title="Wipro shares" height="900" width="1200" msid="84446068" hostid="261"></div> SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/auto/news/ola-electric-scooter-pre-bookings-start-july-15-at-499/articleshow/84441621.cms">Ola Electric scooter pre-bookings start at ₹499 – here’s how to pre-book your Ola Scooter </a> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/merus-plea-against-uber-abusing-its-dominant-status-rejected-by-cci/articleshow/84434982.cms">Meru’s plea against Uber abusing its dominant status rejected by CCI </a>

According to a <a href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2019/04/experts-breach-at-it-outsourcing-giant-wipro/">report</a> by KrebsOnSecurity, a phishing attacks on Wipro Ltd’s computer systems used employee accounts to again access to customer information. And, at least 11 other companies were attacked as well according to evidence found in file folders on the back-end infrastructure of the intrusion. But, the exact objective of the attacks is still unclear. The company <a href="https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/wipro-confirms-data-breach-ahead-of-its-q4-results-today-1555397106230.html">confirmed</a> the report, <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/wipro-hit-by-advanced-phishing-attack/articleshow/68915021.cms">released</a> a security patch and has hired its own independent forensics firms to help with the investigation. But, Wipro Ltd has refrained from sharing any details about how many customers’ data and employees’ accounts were left vulnerable. 
 
 <div type="ExtQuote" text="We identified and isolated those employee accounts, and already took remedies; we have also shared intelligence with partners for preventing such incidents. We also informed a handful of our customers, as a standard practice. We will continue to monitor our infrastructure." auname="Wipro spokesperson"></div>





 Wipro Ltd system were apparently being used as ‘jumping-off’ points for digital fishing expeditions gaining access to Wipro Ltd systems. The employees of those systems have since been quarantined and Wipro Ltd claims that the malware attack should not have any ‘material impact’ on its financials. To know or not to know? While it has been established that Wipro Ltd did not know about the breach some time in advance, the ongoing debate is whether they knew about it a week or months in advance. KrebsOnSecurity asserts that the phishing attack was a multi-month process from a state-sponsored attackers. Wirpo’s COO Bhanumurthy BM, on the other hand, claims that the alerts were only detected a week ago. 
 
 <div type="ExtQuote" text="These alerts were detects a week ago and not months ago.. Any large enterprise will monitor these events and also investigate. In a year, we investigate about 4.8 million such threats." auname="Bhanumurthy BM, Wipro COO’s statement"></div>





 Earlier this month, the Indian government <a href="https://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/govt-sells-rs-1-150-cr-enemy-wipro-shares-state-owned-firms-major-buyers-119040401303_1.html">sold off</a> ₹11.5 billion of ‘enemy’ Wipro Ltd shares that the Custodian of Enemy Property had been holding onto. They’re essentially shares that belonged to individuals who have since migrated to Pakistan or China and are no longer Indian citizens. KrebsOnSecurity speculates that the development along with the $75 million settlement to National Grid US after a botched systems applications and products in data processing (SAP) upgrade and cancelling of its Medicaid enrollment system contract with the US state of Nebraska, may have had something to do with the phishing attack.
