Wipro CEO Thierry Delaporte said in almost every industry, businesses have been reducing discretionary spends in response to the weaker macro environment. “That’s had an impact on our revenues as well,” he said.
Commenting on the demand cycle, Delaporte added he’s witnessing tech investment normalise after the sharp acceleration in spending during the second half of the pandemic. “More and more, clients are expecting faster returns on investments, and optimising costs through increased use of automation and vendor consolidation This year, we have to stay agile as we have to see how things evolve in the coming quarters. ”
