How is Wipro different from Infosys and TCS?

Like most of the companies in outsourcing arena Wipro too focuses on hiring fresh engineers to reduce cost, if the project has a healthy mix of 30 percent experienced people and 70 % freshers, it turns out to be a win-win situation for the company. Hiring fresh employees reduces the cost of the company as wages increase by 15 % every year but it does lead to lower utilization rate or more people on bench.

“ Wipro plans to add about 14,000 freshers in 2007-08 and has already issued some 10,000 campus offers. In the current financial year, a total of 6,600 campus recruits have joined Wipro till date. Wipro is also planning to enhance the intake at Wipro Academy of Software Excellence (WASE) — where it converts science graduates into software professionals through in-depth technology training — to around 4,000 in the coming year from the present 1,700.In the recent years, Wipro has absorbed about 7,000 science graduates. In fact, the company’s utilization rate during Q3 declined by 2 per cent to 62.2 per cent because of the high number of rookies. “
