Wipro has no plan to lay off employees due to Covid-19: Rishad Premji

Wipro Chairman Rishad Premji on Monday said the company has not laid off any employee due to the Covid-19 impact and has no plans to do so for now.

Premji said this in response to a question by a shareholder at the 74th annual general meeting (AGM) of the company, held virtually.

“We are trying to drive cost reduction through various other means, through operationally and otherwise, but we have laid off no people and have no plans to lay off anybody at the moment,” he said.

This was his first annual general meeting (AGM) as the Chairman of Wipro, after taking charge in July last year.
