'It's Business As Usual': Wipro Clarifies Stance on Executive Lawsuits

Published January 13, 2024

Wipro Limited WIT, a prominent global information technology, consulting, and business process services company headquartered in Bengaluru, India, has recently made headlines due to its legal actions against two former senior executives. This move has been perceived by some as the company taking a personal stance against its former employees. However, Wipro clarified on Friday that these lawsuits are purely related to the fulfillment of contractual obligations and are not to be misconstrued as a personal attack.

Litigious Proceedings: Protecting Corporate Interests

In November of the previous year, the IT giant filed a lawsuit against its former chief financial officer (CFO), Jatin Dalal, a move that has garnered significant attention within the industry. The lawsuit has led to discussions around the norms and legalities concerning contractual disputes post-employment.

Corporate Responsibility and Legal Framework

Wipro emphasizes that its decision to undertake legal proceedings is grounded in its duty to protect corporate interests and to enforce contractual obligations. The company highlighted that these actions should be interpreted from a legal and professional standpoint, rather than being seen as bearing any personal grudges against the individuals involved. Wipro's leadership reassures stakeholders that it remains committed to upholding high standards of corporate governance and ethics.
