At Wipro, future hikes to depend on upskilling, reskilling, says HR boss

Wipro has stated that future salary hikes for its employees would be based on their efforts to upskill and reskill themselves.

Saurabh Govil, the company’s head of human resources, told this to the Times of India during an interview, while emphasising the importance of acquiring “niche skills” such as generative AI and cybersecurity.

In the interview, Govil stated that new employees will no longer be hired with a straight 30 per cent pay raise, which was done in 2021 when there were many opportunities and high attrition rates. However, those who possess niche skills such as generative AI and cybersecurity will receive a premium.
