SEOUL, South Korea | BENGALURU, India – March. 23, 2026: Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT, BSE: 507685, NSE: WIPRO), a leading AI‑powered technology services and consulting company, today announced the expansion of its business operations in South Korea, reinforcing the country’s position as a strategic growth market for Wipro. The expansion includes an enlarged office footprint in Seoul, the launch of a new Innovation Lab, as part of the Wipro Innovation Network (WIN), and continued investment in local talent to support South Korean clients locally and globally.
South Korea has emerged as a major global innovation hub, with leadership across semiconductors, advanced technology, automotive engineering, and industrial manufacturing. Wipro’s expanded presence reflects the growing importance of Korea in shaping global innovation and the increasing demand from South Korean enterprises for AI‑led transformation that can scale across markets.
Wipro employs several hundred professionals in South Korea and continues to make sustained investments in the local ecosystem. The company serves South Korean clients through a strong local presence, complemented by its global Wipro Delivery Network. This integrated delivery model enables Korean enterprises to access specialized skills, industry expertise, and scalable global capabilities while retaining close local engagement. In parallel, Wipro is partnering with leading academic institutions to upskill talent and create opportunities for early‑career professionals to work on advanced technology and innovation programs.
Speaking about the inauguration ceremony in Seoul, Vinay Firake, CEO of APMEA (Asia Pacific, India, Middle East, and Africa) Strategic Market Unit, Wipro Limited, said, “South Korea is a strategic growth market for Wipro and an increasingly important center of global innovation. Our expanded presence reflects our long‑term commitment to the region. By strengthening local capabilities, connecting Korea more deeply into our global delivery and innovation network, and co‑innovating closely with clients, we aim to help enterprises translate innovation into measurable business outcomes.”
The Seoul Innovation Lab will operate as part of the Wipro Innovation Network (WIN), Wipro’s global network of innovation facilities. This will serve as a space for close collaboration with South Korean clients and ecosystem partners, enabling co‑creation, rapid experimentation, and solution development. It will also showcase Wipro Intelligence™–a unified suite of AI‑powered platforms, solutions, and transformative offerings–to demonstrate how AI can be applied across real‑world business scenarios.
The lab will focus primarily on technology, automotive, and industrial sectors, supporting use cases such as intelligent product engineering, software‑defined vehicles, smart manufacturing, supply‑chain optimization, and AI‑enabled operations. By combining local industry knowledge with Wipro’s global AI and engineering capabilities, the lab will help clients accelerate innovation from concept to deployment.
With the launch of the Seoul Innovation Lab, Wipro now operates nine innovation facilities globally, including five across the APMEA region.
The expansion also builds on Wipro’s acquisition of the Digital Transformation Solutions (DTS) business unit of HARMAN, a Samsung company, completed last year. As part of the integration, more than 5,000 professionals, including senior leaders across South Korea, the Americas, Europe, and India, have joined Wipro. This has significantly strengthened Wipro’s product engineering and digital transformation capabilities, with South Korea playing an important role in serving clients across Asia and globally.
