Lockdown easing: Wipro resumes operations in Kochi with 120 employees

BENGALURU: Employees in information technology (IT) companies seem to be returning to work, though in a staggered manner. Bengaluru-based Wipro Ltd started operations in Kochi, Kerala, on Monday with 120 people resuming office, chairman Rishad Premji said in a tweet.

“Working in our new normal with social distancing guidelines putting employee safety first. Thank you to the team at Wipro for doing a great job in readying us for this new start,” Premji said.

Currently, 93% of Wipro’s billable employees have client approvals to deliver services from home.

Abidali Z. Neemuchwala, chief executive and managing director, Wipro, had told Mint in a recent interview that although they would like more of their employees to work from home (WFH), some critical services need to delivered from office.
