Thierry Delaporte has tough task at Wipro, where he takes over as CEO on July 6

Thierry Delaporte needs to “re-energize” the leadership team, turnaround failing businesses and drive growth in the midst of the pandemic for Wipro, where he takes charge as the chief executive officer of WiproNSE 1.46 % on Monday, say analysts.

Delaporte, first non-Indian Chief Executive at Wipro and India’s IT industry, will have to turn around business verticals such as healthcare and energy and utilities and regain the “diminishing” market share of the company. Wipro, which has seen four chief executives including two Joint CEOs in the last decade, has lagged its peers in growth. It lost its third position to HCL TechnologiesNSE 0.07 % in the previous fiscal year.
