Demand for talent will be key dependency for growth amid rapid shift to digital: Rishad Premji

New Delhi: The demand for talent will outpace supply and become a “key dependency” for growth as enterprises globally accelerate digital adoption with virtual, Wipro Chairman Rishad Premji said. The Bengaluru-based company has effected “bold changes” in the last six months to help serve customers better and is well-positioned to leverage as well as enable digital transformations for its clients, Premji said in the company’s annual report for FY21.

The former Nasscom chairman noted that technology is often at the forefront of economic recovery, but especially now, as the pandemic precipitated structural changes across industries and challenged established ways of working.
