Wipro announced that it was the only Indian IT company ranked in the prestigious Aon Hewitt ‘Top Companies for Leaders’ global list. The ‘Top Companies for Leaders’ study is conducted by Aon Hewitt, a global human resource consulting firm, in partnership with The RBL Group, a strategic HR and leadership advisory firm, and Fortune magazine. This year's winners were selected and ranked by an expert panel of independent judges based on criteria including strength of leadership practices and culture, examples of leader development on a global scale, alignment of business and leadership strategy, business performance and company reputation.

At Wipro, leadership development training is not an event, but a process of a continuous cycle of learning, measuring and participating. Ajay Soni, Asia Pacific Head for Leadership Consulting, Aon Hewitt said, "We observed Wipro to be exceptional on three accounts. One, exposure and challenge key to development of talent at Wipro (the organization has an articulated strategy of taking risk with top talent for key and critical positions). Two, formal and informal mentoring plays a big role in development of people, especially as they take new and challenging roles in the organization, and three, Wipro has a very good process of top leadership and board involvement in developing the leadership pipeline. It is not surprising then, that Wipro has built global leaders not only for its own organisation, but for the IT industry as well."

Commenting on this award, Pratik Kumar, Executive Vice President - Human Resources, Wipro said, "At Wipro, we have had a rich heritage of business leadership practices, with equal focus on leadership in society and community initiatives. Leadership development is an outcome of the philosophy of taking bets on our people, and investing in their success.”
