Wipro gave its revenue growth guidance for FY22 at 19.5-20 per cent.
Deal Pipeline
The deal pipeline is an important parameter for the company and it indicates demand environment. “Our growth rates, our pipeline, and our order bookings all reflect that. Our pipeline in fact shows a healthy mix of medium and large deals across all our business lines,” Wipro CEO and Managing Director Thierry Delaporte said.
