IT firm Wipro on Tuesday said it will open a new delivery centre in Sherwood, Arkansas, and expects to hire up to 400 people in the next two years in the US state.

Wipro will invest approximately USD 3 million to transform a 70,000 square-foot facility at Landers Road into a customer service centre, a statement said.

The delivery centre will provide operational services to Wipro’s clients across industry verticals, it added.
