Next Gen Technologies to sense forward and respond today

Desktops  and  laptops  are  fast  being  replaced  by  tablets,  e-
readers  and  smartphones.  Newspapers  and  television  have 
given way to Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. iTunes and Spotify 
have  replaced  albums  and  CDs.  GPS  and  dynamic  guidance 
with live crowd-sourced traffic data are guiding us around cities 
and the world. Retail stores and banks are giving way to online 
stores  and  phone  banking.  Organs  are  being  3D  printed.  An 
entire  generation  is  interacting  with  machines  using  voice, 
touch and natural gestures. 

We have entered a world where change is taking place at an 
astounding pace. Technology breakthroughs play a remarkable 
role in redefining consumer experience and determining how 
we  lead  our  lives.  Consumers  are  becoming  increasingly 
sophisticated  and  demanding.  Consumption  patterns  and 
delivery platforms are evolving steadily. In such a world, the key 
to doing business better lies in the skill and ability to effectively 
innovate and create breakthrough applications that help us to 
interact, communicate, collaborate and conduct business in a 
new way. The outcomes of these interactions and experiments 
challenge our imagination. 

Next Gen Technologies 

Growing  project  complexities,  competitive  pressures, 
operational  challenges  and  the  need  to  maintain  and  grow 
margins compels companies to adopt technologies that   will 
help run business as usual, improve operational efficiency and 
provide  competitive  differentiation.  In  essence,  this  will 
prepare organizations to fundamentally change the way they 
do business. Next generation digital technologies like Artificial 
Intelligence,  Internet  of  Things,  Big  Data  Analytics  and 
emerging collaborative development  methodologies like Open 
Source are driving this change. 

Wipro  is  harnessing 
  the  power  of  new  and  emerging 
technologies  to  create  breakthrough  applications  and 
solutions.  Here  'breakthrough'  implies  products,  services, 
processes, ideas and answers that were not possible before. We 
do this by mapping the future landscape; by sensing tomorrow 
and responding today. 

scalability.  They have knowledge-enabled processes and 
mimic  human-like  decision  making  abilities  to  enable 
man  and  machine  to  interact  more  naturally.  They  can 
extend  human  expertise  and  efficiency  by  intelligently 
analyzing large volumes of data. These systems can come 
up with insights and solutions in a fraction of the time it 
takes  today.  Cognitive  techniques  help  minimize  the 
number  of  test  cycles  while  running  test  cases.  These 
result  in  substantial  savings  in  the  cycle  time  between 
development and release, and ensure the same level of 
quality with reduced human effort and hyper automation. 
They  operate  best  on  platforms  that  enable  fast  and 
continuous processing of data, and support a variety of 
applications.

At  Wipro,  we  are  working  towards  delivering  solutions 
that  are  dynamic,  adaptive  and  are  designed  to  learn, 
anticipate, think and support decision making. Driven by 
robotics  and  process  accelerators,  we  will  increasingly 
see  "the  next  best  automatic  actions".  These  will  lead 
organizations  to  achieve  higher  effectiveness  and 
efficiencies. 
  Wipro  has  invested  in  developing  an 
TM
artificial  intelligence  platform  -  Wipro  HOLMES  
(heuristics  and  ontology-based  learning  machines  and 
experiential systems). Wipro HOLMES , an outcome of 
four years of research and development, is built on Open 
Source  technologies  and  addresses  key  domains  in 
cognitive computing. When deployed in internal systems,  
it  categorizes  problems  based  on  its  learning  from 
historical  data.  Wipro  HOLMES   has  deep  learning 
algorithms that help to automatically take remedial steps 
when a system fails. It can also learn continuously and can 
reason by leveraging language structure, semantics, and 
relationships.  The  platform  is  capable  of  integrating 
multiple  heterogeneous  data  sources  (structured  & 
unstructured;  static  &  streaming)  and  facilitates 
synthesizing ideas or answers from them.

It  is  clear  we  are  fast  approaching  technological 
singularity, which according to Ray Kurzweil will be the 
time when $1000 will be able to buy enough computing 
power to match 1,000 human brains.

parameters, analyze situations, anticipate risks and offer 
context-aware  intelligence.  Progressive  organizations 
around  the  world  are  already  leveraging  these  smart 
devices  to make  businesses more  profitable.  To  ensure 
successful  business  outcomes,  innovation  needs  to  be 
centered  on  users'  needs  and  preferences.  A  design 
thinking  approach  is  imperative  today  to  own  the 
customer journey. 

With Wipro Digital we are doing exactly that – we have 
even  gone  a  step  further  and  are  working  on 
reengineering  customer  journeys.    We  bring  together 
end-to-end  digital  capabilities  to  design  and  deliver 
digital transformation. We combine digital strategy and 
consulting,  customer-centered  design,  advanced 
analytics, product engineering, process and operations, 
enterprise  and  infrastructure  services  and  digital 
assurance  to  provide  differentiated  solutions  in  the 
marketplace. Our strength lies in our technology assets, 
experience and global partnerships. As the world moves 
towards  being  more  digital,  context  and  location  will 
change the way we do (digital) business.

Open Source

Open  Source  software  is  changing  the  way  the  world 
builds  software.  This  collaborative,  iterative,  and 
transparent development method is powering everything 
from  reconstruction  efforts  in  the  aftermath  of  natural 
disasters like earthquakes to the design of electric cars, 
along  with  countless  other  projects.  Open  Source  is 
emerging  as  an  important  tool as  business growth  and 
bottom-line success.

Enterprises are increasingly looking at Open Source and 
Open  Stack  applications  for  end-to-end  business 
collaboration, greater productivity, speed and efficiency. 
Open Source applications are also being used to promote 
growth for Adaptive Enterprises. There is a shift from the 
conventional  application  architectures  that  rely  on 
individual  enterprises  to  Internet  technologies  and 
services that are more open. The Next Generation of IT 
systems  will  address  the  challenges  of  availability  on 
scale,  moving  from  efficiency  to  effectiveness  and 
erasing the boundaries between personal and enterprise 
computing. 

To keep pace with the rapid changes, organizations need 
to be nimble. Also, they need to adopt Open Source that 

offers lower cost of ownership, faster developer centric 
innovation  driven  by  large  communities,  flexibility,  no 
vendor  lock-in,  greater  security  and  quality.  Our 
investments put us in a strong position to help customers 
start their Open Source journey.

Wipro has identified Open Source as a core technology 
initiative  and  the  company's  investments  in  building  a 
large  cadre  of  skilled  personnel,  including  world  class 
Open Source industry veterans and community experts, is 
beginning  to  reap  dividends  as  reflected  by  increasing 
customer  interest.  Wipro’s  services  include  the 
development  and  implementation  of  Open  Source 
policies and processes, advisory and strategy consulting, 
roadmap  development,  integration,  community 
engagement,  legacy  migration,  governance,  risk 
mitigation and support.

Wipro also helps customers build Open Source platforms 
on  Applications  (Middleware,  Security,  Customer 
Experience  Platforms,  Mobile  Frameworks),  Big  data, 
Infrastructure  (Operating  Systems,  Databases, 
Virtualization,  Cloud  Technologies,  Software  Defined 
Infrastructure),  Internet  of  Things  (IoT),  Hardware  and 
Testing.

Internet of Things

Ten billion things form the Internet of Things today. On an 
industrial scale, these connected machines are creating 
what we call the Industrial Internet that is enabling digital 
oilfields, advanced manufacturing, grid automation, and 
smart cities. 

These connected devices are unleashing a slew of data for 
enterprises, providing fresh insights. 

A wide range of consumer devices are now equipped with 
sophisticated  sensors  to  track  user  behavior  and 
preferences.  Car  makers,  healthcare  firms,  and  utilities 
are all rising to the challenge and making their products 
more ‘sentient’. The information they gather and analyze 
is  being  used  to  make  everyday  lives  better  for  people 
across the globe.  

Enabled  by  connected  objects,  Wipro  is  capturing  the 
business insights in industrial applications and analyzing 
these in 'near real time', to provide actionable insights and 
create  delightful  customer  experiences.  These  insights

The  road  ahead  -  Innovating  at  the  Intersection  of 
Technologies 

Human  experience  in  interacting  with  machines  is  rapidly 
evolving.  Breakthroughs  in  Man-Machine  Interfaces  (MMI) 
using  acoustics,  gestures,  biometrics,  body  movement  and 
virtual  reality  coupled  with  context-aware  applications  are 
introducing  higher  levels  of  user  engagement.  Such 
interactions  are  dynamic,  flexible,  personalized,  responsive, 
real-time and data driven. 

Wipro  is  playing  a  key  role  to  foster  innovation  at  the 
intersections  of  technologies  and  create  new  products, 
services and breakthrough applications. 

Wipro has also set up a US$100M fund to invest in early and 
mid-stage  startups  with  the  ability  to  reshape  the  future  of 
enterprises with emerging and disruptive technologies. These 
will  impact  fundamental  growth  drivers  in  areas  such  as 
education,  energy,  finance,  healthcare,  manufacturing, 
infrastructure,  consumer  goods  and  government.  We  will 
leverage  our  expertise  in  the  areas  of  Big  Data,  Cloud 
Computing,  Internet  of  Things,  Cognitive  and  Datacenter 
technologies along with breakthrough products of the startups 
in delivering innovative services to our customers.

Wipro  is  committed  to  supporting  tomorrow's  buyer  and 
reimagining business while driving operational excellence and 
scale. Improved quality, capabilities, hyperautomation and IP 
assets are turbocharging our core to secure the future.

help  us  to  understand  our  customers  better,  anticipate 
market  trends  and  reinvent  the  future.    For  instance, 
Wipro EcoEnergy is using internet-connected sensors to 
collect  data  about  energy  consumption  in  retail  stores, 
applying  Big  Data  analytics  to  convert  this  data  into 
actionable intelligence to reduce energy consumption.

We are also helping clients cross-sell and up-sell through 
more effective customer segmentation. These help our 
customers innovate and generate new revenue streams, 
optimize key business areas, reduce time and costs, and 
and facilitate proactive management.

Big Data Analytics

Many of the above mentioned technology areas are at the 
forefront of businesses today because of the tremendous 
growth  in  computational  and  analytical  capabilities.  A 
four-engine jumbo jet can generate 640 terabytes of data 
in just one Atlantic crossing; there are more than 25,000 
flights every day, and that gives you a sense of the volume 
of data being produced in a single business segment. A 
data explosion has taken place across industries over the 
last 15-20 years. Big Data Analytics has helped analyze 
and  gain  insights  into  this  data  to  enhance  decision 
making. 

This  is  a  global  trend  across  all  industries. 
Telecommunications,  retail,  oil  and  gas,  utilities  and 
healthcare  sectors  are  all  moving  towards  better 
harnessing of data and insights associated with them. 

Wipro  has  been  helping  clients  across  industries  and 
geographies  create  seamless  customer  experiences  in 
this  digital  world.  Wipro  helps  clients  capture  data, 
process  it  with  analytical  tools  and  visualizations.  By 
enabling  real  time  insights,  Wipro  has  helped  improve 
business outcomes through data-driven decisions. Wipro 
has  invested  in  a  strategic  partnership  with  Opera 
Solutions,  a  company  that  applies  its  machine  learning 
science to the world's Big Data flows to extract predictive 
patterns or signals and offers a range of solutions, that 
turn  these  signals  into  prescriptive  "best  actions"  that 
significantly improve front-line productivity and bottom-
line growth.

Chairman’s letter to the stakeholders

      A company can only be as strong as the society it is a part of. 
Wipro’s engagement with important social and environmental 
issues is deliberate and strategic. 

Dear Stakeholders, 

There  is  perhaps  more  certainty  in  the  macro  environment 
today than there was a couple of years ago. Global growth has 
inched  up  modestly.  A  series  of  complex  macro-economic 
forces  continue  to  shape  the  global  economic  outlook.  For 
example, while the steep drop in oil prices in the middle of the 
fiscal year aided consumers and oil-consuming economies, the 
oil-producing  economies  and  their  supply  chain  partners  in 
energy  production  and  exploration  were  affected  adversely. 
However, on balance, the outlook for economies which form the 
key  markets  for  your  company  continues  to  be  positive. 
Developed economies are expected to fare better in 2015 than 
earlier years. And India is expected to be amongst the fastest 
growing economies in 2015.

At the level of the enterprise, there is an acceleration in the rate 

of change of the “normal”. Much of this change is enabled by 
innovation  in  technology  and  rapid  adoption  of  advanced 
technologies  or  ‘Digital’  technologies.  These  Digital 
technologies  are  redefining  user  experiences  and  influencing 
how  we,  as  individuals  and  enterprises,  live  our  lives. 
Interestingly, many of these innovations happen outside well-
funded  research  laboratories.  Some  of  the  innovations  are 
outcomes of crowd sourcing where many like-minded persons 
come together across locations to create innovative products, 
often  times  in  Open  Source.  Scalable  innovation  is  also 
happening in small startup companies.

At Wipro, we realize the importance of dealing with change. It is 
not sufficient to recognize and react as change happens; it is 
important to anticipate and prepare. To do this we need to work 
both internally and engage with the broader ecosystem.  We do 
this in multiple ways. We invest significantly in reskilling our 

10

Annual Report  I  2014-2015

 
 
workforce to take advantage of the newer opportunities that 
arise out of Digital technologies. We invest in partnerships with 
companies engaged in niche Digital technologies.

However,  even  deeper  changes  face  us  continually  in  our 
natural environment and society. Over longer periods of time, it 
is  these  changes  that  fundamentally  drive  economic  and 
business dynamics. 

Seven of the top 10 risks identified in the Global Risk Report 
released  at  the  World  Economic  Forum  at  Davos  earlier  this 
year are either environmental or social risks. A company can 
only  be  as  strong  as  the  society  it  is  a  part  of.  Thus,  it  is  a 
fundamental  imperative,  not  convenience  or  obligation,  that 
companies engage deeply and seriously with the big challenges 
in these spheres e.g. water scarcity, climate change, inclusive 
education, hunger and nutritional deficit.

Wipro’s engagement with important social and environmental 
issues is deliberate and strategic. Our primary areas of focus 
are:  Education,  Ecology,  Primary  Health,  Disability  and 
Community  Rehabilitation  post  a  natural  disaster.  We  run  a 
comprehensive business sustainability program in line with the 
Triple Bottom-line framework. Highlights of our Sustainability 
and  Social  Initiatives  can  be  found  in  the  Business 
Responsibility Reporting section of this report. In addition, we 
also publish a detailed Annual Sustainability report. All seven of 
our  past  reports  have  been  rated  A+  based  on  independent 
audits.

Our  Social  and  Sustainability  Initiatives  are  driven  by  the 
conviction  that  corporations  can  play  a  significant  role  in 
contributing to building a better society, and that they must. 
However, their very nature and purpose, and the interests of 
their stakeholders place limitations on the extent to which they 
can go, on these matters. Even external regulatory mandates to 
business corporations, for social action, can have only a limited 
role to play. On the other hand, owners (individuals or other 
entities)  of  such  corporations  can  do  a  lot  more  for  society, 
because  they  can  choose  to  exercise  the  right  of  their 
ownership, and invest their wealth in any social cause, to their 
utmost.   

Over the past fifteen years, I have tried to put this belief into 
action  through  my  personal  philanthropic  work.  Over  these 
years  I  have  irrevocably  transferred  a  significant  part  of  the 
shareholding  in  Wipro,  amounting  to  39%  of  the  shares  of 
Wipro, to a Trust (of which ownership in 21.14% was transferred 
and for the balance the Trust is entitled to beneficial interest of 

dividends and sale proceeds).   The Trust supports the work of  
The  Azim  Premji  Foundation  and  Azim  Premji  Philanthropic 
Initiative. Thus, a very significant part of the value created by 
Wipro, goes towards social causes.

The Azim Premji Foundation is focused on improving the public 
education  system  in  India.  For  this  purpose,  it  has  done 
extensive work in the field, mostly in rural, disadvantaged areas 
and  also  runs  a  not-for-profit  University. 
  Azim  Premji 
Philanthropic  Initiatives  provides  institutional  and 
programmatic  grants  to  not-for-profit,  civil  society 
organizations  working  in  specific  areas  (e.g.  support  to 
vulnerable  groups,  child  nutrition).  Our  overall  work  across 
education and other areas, is driven by the idea of contributing 
to a more just, equitable, humane and sustainable society.   

2015 marks the 70th year of the founding of your company. In 
these  years,  we  have  continuously  strived  to  enhance 
stakeholder  value  by  operating  in  a  sustainable  and  ethical 
manner.  Between  the  close  of  fiscal  2014  and  2015,  Wipro’s 
market capitalization grew by 16%. Also for the year 2014-15, 
dividends declared and proposed will enhance the payout ratio 
to 41% from the previous 30%. 

In  2015,  your  company  was  recognized  as  a  “World’s  Most 
Ethical Companies®”, for the fourth year in succession, by the 
Ethisphere  Institute,  an  independent  center  of  research 
promoting best practices in corporate ethics and governance.

Let me conclude by stating that economic value is sustainable 
only if created on a foundation of ethics and responsibility. For 
us,  this  is  the  driving  force  in  the  form  of  our  values  and  is 
something  that  we  will  continue  to  remain  completely 
committed to. 

I thank all of you - customers, employees, suppliers, partners 
and  shareholders  –  for  your  past  and  continuing  support, 
engagement and deep commitment.

Very Sincerely,

Azim Premji
Chairman

CEO’s letter to the stakeholders

      Technology is increasingly becoming a part of our daily lives. 
For enterprises, technology is becoming central to strategy and 
for executing core business operations.

Dear Stakeholders,

Thank you for the condence that you have reposed in us over the 
years. I want to take this opportunity to talk broadly on how the 
industry is transforming and the steps we are taking to achieve a 
sustained leadership position. As stakeholders, you are entitled to 
know how the Wipro of tomorrow will be perceived differently by 
the  market  and  will  operate  in  a  dramatically  new  way. 

Last year has been quite eventful for all players in the industry. On 

the surface, it might appear as another year of incremental growth, 
but there are clear signs of a generational shift underway-one that 
will  have  signicant  implications  for  all  of  us  in  the  technology 
industry.

Technology is increasingly becoming a part of our daily lives, in 
ways that we never envisaged even a decade ago. For enterprises, 
technology  is  becoming  increasingly  central  to  strategy  and  for 
executing core business operations.  Research shows that close to 
half of all incremental capital expenditure globally in 2014, was in 

the technology space. It is important to highlight that while this 
trend is an overall positive for the industry, the nature of this spend 
is shifting.

In the world of tomorrow, we will see a new buyer in organizations. 
With  technology  acting  as  a  foundation  for  business,  purchase 
decisions  are  being  increasingly  taken  (or  at  least  being 
signicantly inuenced) by Chief Marketing Ofcers, Operational 
Heads and functional line managers. These managers are driven 
more  by  aggressive  demands  on  exibility,  time-to-market  and 
transformational  potential  than  by  traditional  expectations.

This has led to a shift from large internal data centers and large 
enterprise applications to cloud-based deployments and business 
functionality  being  made  available  on  a  service-based  model. 
Likewise, leveraging Open Source is becoming increasingly critical 
for  organizations,  both  for  optimizing  on  cost  and  also  for 
innovation.  Lastly,  new  paradigms  that  emphasize  customer 
experience  and  experimentation  are  gaining  prominence, 
necessitating  rapid  deployment  cycles  and  closer  engagement 
between  various  teams  involved  from  design  through  to 
deployment.

We  are  approaching  a  tipping  point  around  this  change,  and  I 
suspect  most  observers  and  analysts  are  not  fully  aware  of  the 
speed at which this change will be upon us. At Wipro, we are quite 
proud of our ability to discern trends and take proactive measures 
to shape them to our advantage. Over the last few decades, we 
played a key role in building the outsourcing industry, leading the 
drive towards standardized quality models, spearheading remote 
infrastructure  management  and  achieving  synergies  between 
Technology  and  Process  Outsourcing.  Every  disruption  changes 
the playing eld and creates a set of winners who adapt quickly, 
leaving  behind  a  set  of  laggards  in  their  wake.  We  have  a  clear 
strategy and a plan of action to back it.

Our  strategy  is  based  around  two  themes  –  Turbocharge  the 
Existing  Business  (Run  Strategy)  and  Dominate  the  Future 
(Change  Strategy).  We  will  ensure  that  we  operate  at  optimal 
efciency  in  a  space  that  is  increasingly  undergoing 
commoditization. The resultant savings for the customer will be 
directed towards the business transformation agenda. We believe 
these twin themes will allow us to support our customer needs 
better and create a sustainable growth engine for ourselves.

Tur b o c h a r ge   t h e   E x i st i n g   B u s i n e ss :   We   co n t i n u e   to   
execute on our strategy of focusing on a dened set of accounts 
and core markets. We have launched a simplication initiative to 
enhance  process  velocity  and  delivery  productivity.  This  has 
yielded good initial results and we plan to drive these measures 
across  the  organization.  We  are  also  investing  heavily  in 
developing  automation  and  Articial  Intelligence  capabilities. 
Through  this,  we  plan  to  achieve  a  step-jump  in  productivity, 
quality  and  reduction  in  cycle  times............................................

Dominate  the  Future:  New  technologies  are  driving  the  change 
agenda  for  our  customers.  The  Digital  theme  is  attracting 
tremendous management attention across sectors,with focus on 
enhancing  customer  experience  and  also  improvingback-ofce 
productivity.  We  have  carved  out  a  separate  unit  to  focus  on 
Digital Transformation. Likewise, we have invested in developing 
Intellectual Property around areas that we believe will impact our 
business  especially  around  Customer  Journey  Engineering, 
Machine Learning, and Autonomous Management. 

Innovation  is  critical  to  differentiate  ourselves.  We  will 
signicantly increase our rate of patent ling over the next three 
years. Given the value created in an ideation network, we are also 
partnering  with  a  whole  host  of  players  in  the  ecosystem.  To 
enable strategic focus and closer engagement, we have launched a 
$100 million corporate venture capital fund that will invest in start-
ups with cutting-edge capability. This fund will operate in concert 
with  our  existing  M&A  program  that  aims  to  ll  in  any  gaps  in 
market  or  technology  presence................................................

Needless to say, any period of business disruption creates a need 
for the organization to realign and bring focus back to the single 
point  that  matters  in  our  business-  making  the  customer 
successful.  Towards  this  end,  we  are  making  the  organization 
leaner and empowering our managers to make quicker decisions. 
We have launched organization-wide skill development programs 
both in new technology domains and also in building capability for 
handling new business constructs and execution models. I am very 
happy with the way the organization has risen to the challengeand 
feel quite enthused with the positive energy that I see in all my 
interactions with associates across geographies and age groups.

I  am  more  certain  than  ever,  that  the  steps  we  are  taking  will 
position  us  well  for  the  future.  We  aim  to  make  our  customers 
successful by being genuine partners, and this will lead to great 
outcomes for our employees and shareholders. Let me close this 
note by thanking all our customers, employees, suppliers, partners 
and shareholders for their support.

Thank You,

Sincerely,

T.K.Kurien

Azim H. Premji 
Chairman

Azim Premji, a graduate in Electrical Engineering from Stanford 
University, USA has been at the helm of Wipro Limited since the 
late 1960s, turning what was then a $2 million hydrogenated 
cooking fat company into the $7.5 billion Revenue IT, BPS and 
R&D Services organization with a presence in 58 countries, that 
it is today. The overall Wipro group revenues are $8.6 billion.

Premji  has  been  driven  by  one  basic  idea  –  to  build  an 
organization deeply committed to Values, with the firm belief 
that  success  in  business  eventually  but  inevitably  follows. 
Unflinching commitment to Values continues to remain at the 
core of Wipro. Premji strongly believes that ordinary people are 
capable  of  extraordinary  things  when  organized  into  highly 
charged teams, and takes keen personal interest in developing 
leaders and teams.

Wipro’s  business  success  has  been  driven  by  keeping  the 
customer at the core of everything it does. Combining its deep 
expertise in technology with an equally clear understanding of 
customer industries, Wipro attempts to deliver business value 
to  customers  consistently.  The  consistency  is  driven  by  its 
pioneering efforts in service quality and predictability, through 
methodologies like Six Sigma, PCMM and Lean. The underlying 
tenets that drive this overall culture are that of speed, simplicity 
and excellence.

Premji firmly believes that business organizations have a social 
responsibility not only to employ ethical, fair and ecologically 
sensitive  business  practices  but  also  to  actively  engage  with 
fundamental  societal  issues.  “Wipro  Applying  Thought  in 
Schools” (in India) and “Wipro STEM Fellowships” (in the US) 
are  initiatives  deeply  involved  in  trying  to  improve  quality  of 
school education, while the “Wipro Cares” program engages 
with local community causes. Mission 10X works to improve 
quality  of  engineering  college  education.  In  2001,  Premji 
established  and  personally  endowed  the  Azim  Premji 
Foundation,  a  not-for-profit  organization,  with  a  vision  of 
enhancing  quality  and  equity  in  the  public  school  education 
system  in  India,  to  build  a  better  society.  The  Azim  Premji 
Foundation works in 7 states of India which have over 350,000 

schools. In 2011, the Foundation established the Azim Premji 
University, which is focused on teaching and research programs 
in Education and other areas of Human Development.

Over the years, Azim Premji has received numerous honors and 
accolades, which he considers as recognitions for Team Wipro. 
BusinessWeek featured him on their cover of the October 2003 
issue  with  the  sobriquet  “India’s  Tech  King”  and  listed  him 
amongst the top 30 entrepreneurs in world history in July 2007. 
In October 2005, Financial Times included him in a global list of 
25 people “dramatically reshaping the way people live, work or 
think”. Time listed him amongst the world’s 100 most influential 
people  in  April  2004  and  again  April  2011,  citing  his 
contribution to improving the public education system in India. 
He was named by Fortune (August 2003) as one of the 25 most 
powerful  business  leaders  outside  the  US,  by  Forbes  (March 
2003) as one of ten people globally with most “power to effect 
change”, and by the Journal of Foreign Policy (November 2011) 
as amongst the top global thinkers.

Premji became the first Indian recipient of the Faraday Medal 
and has been conferred honorary doctorates by the Michigan 
State University  and  Wesleyan  University  (in  the  US),  Indian 
Institute  of  Technology  Bombay,  Roorkee  and  Kharagpur 
amongst others. He is a member of the Indo-UK, Indo-French 
CEO forums and a member of the Indo-Japan Business Leaders’ 
Forum. The Republic of France bestowed upon him the “Legion 
of  Honor”  and  Forbes  India  honored  him  with  its  inaugural 
“Outstanding Philanthropist of the Year” in November 2012. He 
was  conferred  in  January  2011  with  Padma  Vibhushan,  the 
second highest civilian award in India. In September 2013 Premji 
received All India Management Association (AIMA) Managing 
India Award as the Corporate Citizen of the Year for his inspiring 
business values and his contribution to society. He was honored 
with the Asian Business Leaders Award by Asia House (UK) in 
October 2013 for his “impressive business credentials and his 
significant  efforts  to  inspire  a  commitment  in  others  to 
improving  society.”  In  December  2013,  The  Economic  Times 
bestowed upon Mr. Premji, the Life Time Achievement Award.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Economic Overview

According  to  the  IMF,  global  economic  growth  remains 
moderate, with uneven prospects across the main countries and 
regions. In its World Economic Outlook issued in April 2015, IMF 
has forecast the global growth to reach 3.5% in 2015, up from 
3.4% recorded in 2014. Growth is projected to be stronger in 
2015  relative  to  2014  in  advanced  economies,  but  weaker  in 
emerging markets, reflecting more subdued prospects for some 
large emerging market economies and oil exporters. 

IT Services
Industry  overview

Enterprises are increasingly outsourcing their technology and IT 
services requirements to global IT services providers who can 
deliver high quality service on a global scale and at competitive 
costs.  According  to  Gartner  report  Forecast:  Enterprise  IT 
Spending by Vertical Industry Market, Worldwide, 2013-2019, 1Q15 
Update,  worldwide  IT  Services  spending  in  2014  was  $948 
billion, a growth of 1.8% over the previous year. Global IT service 
providers offer a range of end to end software development, IT 
business  solutions,  research  and  development  services, 
business  process  services,  consulting  and  related  support 
functions.

Over  the  past  two  decades,  India  has  risen  to  become  the 
leading  destination  for  global  IT  services  sourcing,  business 
process  services  and  research  and  development  services. 
Global IT services providers, based in India, have a proven track 
record for providing business and technology solutions, offering 
a  large,  high  quality  and  English-speaking  talent  pool  and  a 
friendly regulatory environment. These factors have facilitated 
the emergence of India as a global sourcing hub.

Growth drivers of India-based IT Services Providers

w Global  IT  sourcing  from  India  offers  significant  cost 
advantages  as  well  as  productivity  gains  on  account  of 
access  to  highly  skilled  and  competent  talent  at  lower 
wage  costs.  According  to  the  National  Association  of 
Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM) Strategic 
Review Report 2015 (“NASSCOM Report”), India-based 
IT services providers have been able to maintain their cost 
competitiveness  by  deploying  various  cost  control 
strategies  including  the  delivery  networks  in  Tier  II/III 
cities, recruiting on college and  university campuses  as 
well  as  experienced  professionals,  and  offsetting  wage 
inflation  with  operational  gains  and  productivity 
measures.

w India  has  a  large,  highly  skilled  and  English-speaking 
talent pool. According to the NASSCOM Report, the IT – 
Business  Process  Management  industry  in  India 

employed  over  3.5  million  software  professionals  as  of 
March 31, 2015, making it one of the largest employers in 
the global IT services industry.

w Business favorable policy decisions of the Government of 
India have played a key role in the development of robust 
IT and business process management (“BPM”) sectors in 
the  country.  The  Software  Technology  Park  (“STP”) 
Scheme and the Special Economic Zone Act also played a 
critical role in the emergence and development of the IT 
and BPM industries by providing incentives in the form of 
tax holidays.

w India-based  IT  companies  have  proven  their  ability  to 
deliver  premium  IT  services  and  business  process 
management  that  satisfy  the  requirements  of 
international  clients  who  adhere  to  exacting  quality 
standards.

According  to  the  NASSCOM  report,  revenues  for  fiscal  year 
2015 for the IT-BPM industry based in India is estimated to be 
US$146 billion, which would represent growth of approximately 
13% over fiscal year 2014. According to the NASSCOM Report, 
IT export revenues from India, including hardware, are expected 
to grow at a year-on-year rate of 12% in fiscal year 2015, driven 
by greater demands for social, mobile, analytics and cloud based 
solutions.  While  exports  remain  the  focus  area  for  the  IT 
industry  in  India,  the  IT  services  market  in  India  represents 
approximately  18%  of  the  total  business  of  India-based  IT 
services industry and is also expected to be a key growth driver. 
According  to  the  NASSCOM  Report,  the  domestic  Indian  IT-
BPM market is expected to have grown by 14%, a growth rate 
that  is  faster  than  export  markets  in  fiscal  year  2015,  driven 
largely by e-commerce.

Our Strategy

Our Strategy for Run business is centered on –

I n d u s t r i e s   wo r l d w i d e ,   a re   w i t n e ss i n g   s i g n i f i c a n t  
transformations  in  the  Business  Model  and  Technology 
landscape.

1.  Driving revenue growth in our core businesses through 
services  and  solutions  in  prioritized  verticals,  service 
lines & geographies. 

  1.  Evolving Client Business Models –While overall IT spend 
by  Enterprises  are  expected  to  increase  (though 
marginally), the IT spend mix on 'Run' part of the business 
('Run'  –  IT  resources  consumed  and  focused  on 
continuing  operation  of  the  business)  and  'Change'  (IT 
resources  consumed  and  focused  on  developing  and 
enhancing IT systems in support  of business growth or to 
enable the enterprise to enact new business models) part 
of  the  business  is  shifting.  Investments  in  'Change' 
programs  are  on  the  increase  and  some  are  funded 
through  the  efficiency  gains  from  'Run'  business.  The 
technology investments are required to be more business 
focused  and  end-user  conscious.  Given  the  pace  of 
technology transformation, a new set of influencers are 
emerging 
like  the  Chief  Digital  Officer  and  Chief 
Marketing Officer. Today's Service Providers are required 
to address the increasing and diverse needs of the clients.

  2.  Changing Technology Landscape – IDC predicts that over 
65% of Enterprise IT organizations will commit to Hybrid 
Cloud technologies before 2016. This will create a new 
set of opportunities as clients look at us to partner with 
them on this journey.  Gartner forecasts that the number 
of ''Connected Devices'' will be nearly 25 Billion by 2020, 
or over three times the number of humans on earth. This 
explosion  of  connected  devices  will  drive  the  need  for 
Data Analytics & Insights services.

  3.  Need  for  newer  Models  of  Service  Delivery  –  .
Increasingly,  enterprises  seek  integrated  solutions  & 
services  –  implying  the  need  for  service  providers  to 
adopt newer commercial and delivery constructs.

  4.  The  Digital  Opportunity  –  Estimated  to  be  an  over 
$225Billion  market  by  2020,  80%  of  incremental 
investments  of  enterprises  are  expected  to  be  in  and 
around Digital, driven by need to go 'Digital' to address 
the consumer. A significant portion of such investments 
will  be  funded  through  legacy spend  reductions.    This 
has  significant  implications  for  service  providers 
including  the  need  to  invest  in  capabilities  such  as 
Dev/Ops,  process  &  service  design,  user  experience, 
architecture  &  Digital  technologies  and  investing  in 
creative  technologists  across  a  spectrum  of  Digital 
technologies – Internet of Things(IoT), Cloud, Big Data 
Analytics & Mobile.

Revenue - IT Services 

Our  revenue  from  our  IT  Services  segment,  in  INR  terms, 
increased by 10.18%. In terms of USD revenues, the growth was 
7.0%, an acceleration in growth over 6.4% recorded in 2013-14.  
The revenue growth in dollar terms in 2014-15 was impacted by 
adverse  movements  of  currency.  The  growth  in  2014-15,  in 
constant currency comparable to previous fiscal, was 8.7% an 
acceleration from 7.9% recorded in 2013-14.

During the year, we saw significant softness in the Oil & Gas 
business due to the impact of falling oil prices, which affected 
our  revenue  growth.  However,  in  absolute  terms,  we 
experienced  growth  across  all  IT  Services  industry  verticals. 
Growth  was  led  by  HLS  business  unit  that  grew  19.6%  in 
constant currency. Amongst service lines, Global Infrastructure 
Services  showed  strong  growth  during  2014-15.  Amongst 
geographic segments, Americas region showed good  growth. In 
our IT Services segment, we added 194 new customers during 
the year ended March 31, 2015 across all industry verticals. 

Profitability

During the year our gross profit as a percentage of our revenue 
from  our  IT  Services  segment  decreased  by  86  bps.  The 
decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue is primarily 
attributable  to  an  increase  in  employee  compensation  cost 
during  the  year  ended  March  31,  2015  as  compared  to  year 
ended  March  31,  2014  as  part  of  our  annual  compensation 
review  and  annual  progression  cycle,  partially  offset  by  the 
depreciation of the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue from 
our  IT  Services  segment  decreased  from  6.84%  for  the  year 

Annual Report  I  2014-2015

31

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
ended March 31, 2014 to 6.37 % for the year ended March 31, 
2015.  In  absolute  terms,  selling  and  marketing  expenses 
increased Rs. 722 million. This increase is primarily attributable 
to  an  increase  in  the  employee  compensation  cost  due  to 
increased  compensation  as  part  of  our  annual  compensation 
review and annual progression cycle and depreciation of Indian 
rupee against the U.S. dollar.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue 
from our IT Services segment increased from 5.51% for the year 
ended March 31, 2014 to 5.68 % for the year ended March 31, 
2015. In absolute terms, general and administrative expenses 
increased Rs. 2,967 million. This increase is primarily due to an 
increase in the employee compensation cost due to increased 
compensation as part of our annual compensation review and 
annual progression cycle. The increase is further attributable to 
legal  and  professional  expenses  by  approximately  Rs.  985 
million  and travel costs by approximately Rs. 789 million.

Segment Results

As a result of the above, segment results as a percentage of our 
revenue ('margins') from our IT Services segment decreased by 
43 bps to 22.18% stay within a narrow range of the segment 
margins of 2013-14.   However, in absolute terms, the segment 
results of our IT Services segment increased by 8.10%.

Risk Factors

1.  Currency Risk: Our revenues in IT Services are derived in 
major currencies of the world while a significant portion 
of  our  costs  are  in  Indian  rupees.  The  exchange  rate 
between the rupee and major currencies of the world has 
fluctuated significantly in recent years and may continue 
to  fluctuate  in  the  future.  Currency  fluctuations  can 
adversely  affect  our  revenues  and  gross  margins. 
2014-15  saw  significant  volatility  in  EUR  and  GBP 
thereby  causing  reported  USD  revenues  to  be  much 
lower than revenues in constant currency, especially in 
the latter part of the year.

  2.  Competition Risk: The market for IT services is highly 
competitive.  Our  competitors  include  software 
companies,  IT  companies,  systems  consulting  and 
integration  firms,  other  technology  companies  and 
client  in-house  information  services  departments.  We 
may also face competition from IT and ITES companies 
operating from emerging low cost destination like China, 
Philippines, Brazil, Romania, Poland etc.

  3.  Global Economic Risk: We derive approximately 50% of 
revenues from United States and 29% from Europe. In an 

economic  slowdown,  our  clients  located  in  these 
geographies  may  reduce  or  defer  their  technology 
spending  significantly.  Reduction  in  spending  on  IT 
services  may  lower  the  demand  for  our  services  and 
negatively affect our revenues and profitability.

  4.  Offshore  business  model  risk:  Some  countries  and 
organizations have expressed serious concerns about a 
perceived  association  between  offshore  outsourcing 
and  the  loss  of  jobs  domestically.  With  the  growth  of 
offshore  outsourcing  receiving  increasing  political  and 
media  attention,  there  have  been  concerted  efforts  to 
enact new legislation to restrict offshore outsourcing or 
impose  disincentives  on  companies  which  have  been 
outsourcing jobs. This may adversely impact our ability 
to do business in these jurisdictions and could adversely 
affect our revenues and operating profitability.

  5.  Regulatory changes risk: Our employees who travel to 
work  onsite  at  client  facilities  or  at  our  facilities  on 
temporary  or  extended  assignments  typically  must 
obtain visas. Multiple changes to the immigration laws 
across  geographies  are  anticipated  impacting  the 
availability  of  visas  and  increasing  the  cycle  time 
required to obtain the same. These changes could make 
it more difficult for us to obtain visas for our employees, 
and  hence  our  ability  to  compete  for  and  provide 
services to our clients in these regions could be impaired.

These  risks  are  broadly  country-specific  risks.  At  an 
organizational  level,  we  have  a  well-defined  business 
contingency plan and disaster recovery plan to address these 
unforeseen  events  and  minimize  the  impact  on  services 
delivered from our global development centers. 

IT Products

Industry Overview

According to the NASSCOM Report, the hardware segment of the 
IT-BPM market in India is estimated to be $13.1 billion in fiscal year 
2015 or 27% of the India IT-BPM industry. The key components of 
the hardware industry are servers, desktop, notebook and tablet 
computers, storage devices, peripherals, printers and networking 
equipment.  Recent  trends  indicate  a  rising  demand  for  tablet 
computers  and  weakening  demand  for  desktop  computers. 
Demand  for  storage  equipment  and  IT  security  products  has 
increased as more data is generated and stored.

While we focus on being a strategic provider of IT services, our 
goal is to be the system integrator of choice and so we  provide 
IT products as a complement to our IT services offerings. In the 
India  and  Middle  East  markets,  we  are  a  leading  provider  of 

32

Annual Report  I  2014-2015

 
 
 
 
system integration services, where we provide a full suite of IT 
services  as  well  as  complementary  hardware  solutions  and 
software  licenses.  Revenue  from  the  hardware  products  and 
software  licenses  sold  is  recorded  under  the  IT  Products 
segment.  We  have  diverse  range  of  clients  across  all  major 
industries,  primarily  in  the  India  and  Middle  East  market.   
Effective as of the quarter ended December 31, 2013, we ceased 
manufacturing “Wipro” branded desktops, laptops and servers. 
We will continue to fill existing orders and honor our warranty 
and service obligations. We will continue to maintain a presence 
in the hardware market by providing suitable third-party brands 
as a part of our solutions in large integrated deals.

Our  IT  Products  segment  accounted  for  8.9%  and  7.2%of  our 
revenue  for  the  years  ended  March  31,  2014  and  2015, 

respectively and 0.3% and 0.4% of our operating income for each 
of the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. 

In order to offer comprehensive IT system integration solutions 
we use a combination of hardware products (including servers, 
computing, storage, networking, security) and related software 
products,  (including  databases  and  operating  systems)  and 
integration services.

Our range of third-party IT Products is comprised of Enterprise 
Platforms,  Networking  Solutions,  Software  Products,  Data 
Storage,  Contact  Center  Infrastructure,  Enterprise  Security,  IT 
Optimization  Technologies,  Video  Solutions  and  End-user 
computing.

For the purpose of segment reporting, we have included the impact of exchange rate fluctuations in revenue. Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations, 
revenue, as reported in our statements of income, is Rs. 38,879 million and Rs. 33,928 million for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Further, 
finance income on deferred consideration earned under multi-year payment terms in certain total outsourcing contracts is included in the revenue of the respective 
segment and is eliminated under reconciling items. Please see Note 31 of the ‘Consolidated Financial Statements under IFRS' for additional details.

Revenue
Our  revenue  from  the  IT  Products  segment  decreased  by  12.32%,  primarily  due  to  decrease  in  revenue  from  domestic  sales  of 
computers and servers following cessation of manufacturing “Wipro” branded desktops, laptops and servers as of December 31, 2013.
Profitability
Our gross profit for the year ended  March 31, 2015 as a percentage of our IT Products segment revenue increased by 9 bps over the year 
ended March 31, 2014.  One must note that during the year ended March 31, 2014, the segment incurred a non-recurring expense due to 
the cessation of manufacturing “Wipro” branded desktop, laptops and servers. 
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue from our IT Products segment increased marginally from 3.44% for the year

ended March 31, 2014 to 3.76% for the year ended March 31, 2015. In absolute terms, selling & marketing expenses decreased by Rs. 55 
million. 
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue from our IT Products segment decreased from 3.82% for the year 
ended March 31, 2014 to 3.29% for the year ended March 31, 2015. In absolute terms, general and administrative expenses decreased by 
Rs.362 million primarily on account of optimization initiatives.  
As a result of the above, in absolute terms, segment results of our IT Products segment increased by 20.65%.
Risk
IT Products revenues are impacted by seasonal changes that affect purchasing patterns among our clients for hardware products, 
(including servers, computing, storage, networking, security) and software products, (including databases and operating systems)
The IT products market is a dynamic and highly competitive market. In the marketplace, we compete with both international and local 
providers. Our local competition comes from HCL and TCS, among others. Our international competitors include IBM, Dell and HP.
One of the major challenges we encounter is margin pressure due to competitive pricing. Achieving mindshare and market share in a 
crowded market place requires differentiated strategies on pricing, branding, delivery and products design. We believe we are favorably 
positioned based on our brand, quality leadership, expertise in target markets and our ability to create customer loyalty by delivering 
value to our customers.

Revenue

Finance and Other Income

Our revenue increased by 8.1%. This was driven primarily by a 
10.2% increase in revenue  from our IT Services  segment and 
offset  partially  by  a  12.3%  decrease  in  revenue  from  our  IT 
Products  segment.  The  increase  in  IT  Services  revenues  was 
driven by growth in our Healthcare and Life Sciences industry 
vertical, Energy, Natural Resources and Utilities industry vertical 
and  Global  Media  and  Telecom  industry  vertical,  as  well  as 
depreciation of INR against USD.

Our finance and other income increased from Rs. 14,542 million 
for the year ended March 31, 2014 to Rs. 19,859 million for the 
year ended March 31, 2015. This increase was due to an increase 
in cash available for investments due to enhanced cash flows. 
Additionally, gain on sale of investments increased by Rs. 2,251 
million and interest and dividend income increased by Rs. 3,066 
million during the year ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the 
year ended March 31, 2014.

Profitability

Taxes

In  absolute  terms,  cost  of  revenues  increased  by  8.73% 
primarily  on  account  of  increases  in  employee  compensation 
due to rupee depreciation, salary increases, stock compensation 
awarded  and  increases  in  headcount  during  the  year,  and 
increase  in  subcontracting /technical  fees/third  party 
application fee.

As  a  result  of  the  foregoing  factors,  our  gross  profit  as 
percentage  of  our  total  revenue  from  continuing  operations 
decreased by 38 basis points (bps).

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Our  selling  and  marketing  expenses  as  a  percentage  of  total 
revenue decreased from 6.68% for the year ended March 31, 
2014 to 6.47% for the year ended March 31, 2015. In absolute 
terms,  selling  and  marketing  expenses  increased  by  4.71%, 
primarily due to increases in travel expenses and depreciation, 
amortization and impairment charges.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our  general  and  administrative  expenses  as  a  percentage  of 
revenue  increased  minimally  from  5.38%  for  the  year  ended 
March 31, 2014 to 5.46% for the year ended March 31, 2015. In 
absolute terms, general and administrative expenses increased 
by  9.82%,  primarily  due  to  increases  in  employee 
compensation, legal and professional fees and travel expenses. 

Results from Operations

As a result of the foregoing factors, our results from operating 
activities  (operating  margin)  as  a  percentage  of  revenue  has 
decreased  by  25  bps  from  20.42%  to  20.17%.  However,  our 
operating income increased by 6.79%, from Rs. 89,354 million  
for the year ended March 31, 2014 to Rs. 95,423 million for the 
year ended March 31, 2015.

Finance Expenses

Our finance expenses increased from Rs. 2,891 million for the 
year  ended  March  31,  2014  to  Rs.  3,599  million  for  the  year 
ended March 31, 2015. This increase is primarily due to increase 
of  Rs.  808  million  in  exchange  loss  on  foreign  currency 
borrowings  and  related  derivative  instruments.  This  increase 
has been partially offset by a decrease in interest expense by 
Rs.100 million during the year ended March 31, 2015.

Our income taxes increased by Rs. 2,024 million from Rs. 22,600 
million for the year ended March 31, 2014 to Rs. 24,624 million for 
the year ended March 31, 2015. Our effective tax rate decreased 
from 22.4% for the year ended March 31, 2014 to 22.0% for the 
year  ended  March  31,  2015.  This  decrease  is  primarily  due  to 
write-backs  during  the  year  subsequent  to  completion  of 
assessments.

As  a  result  of  the  foregoing  factors,  our  profit  attributable  to 
equity  holders  increased  by  Rs.  8,561  million  or  11%,  from  Rs. 
77,967 million for the year ended March 31, 2014 to Rs. 86,528 
million for the year ended March 31, 2015. 

Foreign Exchange Risk Management Policy and Results

We have a consistent hedging policy, designed to minimize the 
impact  of  volatility  in  foreign  exchange  fluctuations  on  the 
earnings  and  assets  &  liabilities.  We  evaluate  exchange  rate 
exposure arising from transactions and positions and enter into 
foreign  currency  derivative  instruments  to  mitigate  such 
exposure.  We  follow  established  risk  management  policies, 
including the use of derivatives like foreign exchange forward / 
option contracts to hedge forecasted cash flows denominated in 
foreign currency. As per the policy, the total hedges shall be 50% 
to 100% of the next four quarters of inflows in addition to select 
long term contracts which are beyond one year in tenor. Our net 
foreign exchange gains/ (losses) from continuing operations for 
the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2015 were Rs. 3,359 million 
and Rs. 3,637 million respectively. 

Our Hedge Book as on March 31, 2015 stood at USD 2.5 billion 
dollars. Our foreign exchange gains/(losses), net, comprise of:

1. 

Exchange  differences  arising  from  the  translation  or      
settlement of transactions in foreign currency, except for 
exchange  differences  on  debt  denominated  in  foreign 
currency  (which  are  reported  within  finance  expense, 
net); and

  2.  The changes in fair value for derivatives not designated as 
hedging  derivatives  and  ineffective  portions  of  the 
hedging  instruments.  For  forward  foreign  exchange 
contracts which are designated and effective as cash flow 
hedges,  the  mark  to  market  gains  and  losses  are

items.

As of March 31, 2015, we had cash & cash equivalent  and short-
term investments of Rs. 251,048 million. Cash & cash equivalent 
& short-term investments, net of debt, was Rs. 172,135 million. 

In addition, we have unused credit lines of Rs. 35,857 million. To 
utilize these lines of credit, we require the consent of the lender 
and  compliance  with  certain  financial  covenants.  We  have 
historically  financed  our  working  capital  and  capital 
expenditures  through  our  operating  cash  flows  and  through 
bank debt, as required. 

Cash from Operating Activities

Cash generated by operating activities for the year ended March 
31, 2015 increased by Rs. 10,365 million, while profit for the year 
increased  by  Rs.  8,654  million  during  the  same  period.  The 
increase in cash generated by operating activities is primarily 
due to improved working capital management. 

Cash used in Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the year ended March 31, 
2015 was Rs. 25,816 million. The cash invested (net of sales) in 
available  for  sale  investments  and  inter-corporate  deposits 
amounted to Rs. 15,400 million. Cash utilized for the payment 
for  business  acquisitions  amounted  to  Rs.  11,574  million.  We 
purchased  property,  plant  and  equipment  amounted  to  Rs. 
12,661 million. During the year, we invested Rs. 11,331 million in 
acquiring ATCO I-Tek Inc., a Canada-based entity. ATCO I-Tek 
provides IT services to ATCO Group, a Canada-based utilities 
and logistics company. 

Cash used in Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the year ended March 31, 
2015 was Rs. 8,523 million as against Rs. 34,972 million for the 
year ended March 31, 2014. This increase is primarily due to an 
increase in net proceeds of loans and borrowings amounting to 
Rs.  31,649  million  partly  offset  by  increase  in  payment  of 
dividend amounting to Rs. 6,217 million. 

Dividend:  On  April  21  2015,  our  Board  proposed  a  final  cash 
dividend  of  Rs.  7  (US$0.11)  per  equity  share  and  ADR.  The 
proposal is subject to the approval of shareholders at the next 
Annual General Meeting, and if approved, would result in a cash 
outflow of approximately Rs. 20,739 million, including corporate 
dividend tax thereon. This is in addition to the interim dividend 
of Rs 5 ($0.08) per equity share and ADR declared  in January 
2015. After maintaining a steady dividend payout ratio of 30%, 
33% and 31% for the years 2013-14, 2012-13 and 2011-12, we 
have,  considering  the  needs  of  liquidity  and  strategic 
requirements, enhanced the dividend payout ratio in 2014-15 to 
41%

We  maintain  a  debt  level  that  we  have  established  through 
consideration  of  a  number  of  factors  including  cash  flow 
expectations,  cash  required  for  operations  and  investment 
plans. We  continually  monitor our  funding  requirements,  and  
maintain sufficient flexibility to access global funding sources, 
as needed. Please refer to Note 13 of our ‘Consolidated Financial 
Statements under IFRS' for additional details on our borrowings.

Cash  generated  from  operations  is  our  primary  source  of 
liquidity. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents along 
with cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet 
our  working  capital  requirements  as  well  as  repayment 
obligations with respect to debt and borrowings.

As of March 31, 2015, we had contractual commitments of Rs. 
1,262 million related to capital expenditures on construction or 
expansion of software development facilities, Rs. 11,942 million 
related  to  non-cancelable  operating  lease  obligations  and  Rs. 
20,007 million related to other purchase obligations. Plans to 
construct    development  facilities  are  based  on  business 
requirements.

In  relation  to  our  acquisitions,  a  portion  of  the  purchase 
consideration  is  payable  upon  achievement  of  specified 
earnings targets in the future. We expect that our cash and cash 
equivalents, investments in liquid and short-term mutual funds 
and  the  cash  flows  expected  to  be  generated  from  our 
operations in the future will generally be sufficient to fund the 
earn-out payments and our expansion plans. 

In  the  normal  course  of  business,  we  transfer  accounts 
receivables,  net  investment  in  sale-type  finance  receivable 
(financial assets). The incremental impact of such transactions 
on  our  cash  flow  and  liquidity  for  the  years  ended  March  31,  
2014  and  2015  is  not  material.  Please  refer  Note  16  of  our 
‘Consolidated  Financial  Statements  under  IFRS'  for  additional 
details. 

Our  liquidity  and  capital  requirements  are  affected  by  many 
factors,  some  of  which  are  based  on  the  normal  ongoing 
operations  of  our  businesses  and  some  of  which  arise  from 
uncertainties related to global economies and the markets that 
we target for our services. We cannot be certain that additional 
financing, if needed, will be available on favorable terms, if at all. 

As of March 31, 2014 and 2015, our cash and cash equivalents 
were  primarily  held  in  Indian  Rupees,  U.S.  Dollars,  United 
Kingdom  Pound  Sterling,  Euros,  Australian  Dollars  and 
Canadian Dollars. Please refer to “Financial risk management” 
under  Note  16  of  our  Notes  to  the  Consolidated  Financial 
Statements for more details on our treasury activities. 

Human Resources

Employee  Centricity:  As  of  March  31,  2015,  we  had  over 
140,000 employees in the company. In any services enterprise, 
employees form the core of an organization. We recognize the 
vitality  of  this  stakeholder.  A  significant  portion  of  our 
management focus is invested in engaging with our employees. 
We  endeavor  to  develop  best  in  class  global  leadership.  We 
strengthen our talent pool by providing employees with growth 
and  career  enhancement  opportunities.  While  serving  global 
customers,  employing  people  across  the  globe  is  an  equally 
important  aspect  of  our  vision  of  becoming  a  truly  global 
company.

We  maintained    gender  diversity  with  over  30%  of  our 
employees  being  women.  We  have  more  than  30,000 
employees  outside  India,  out  of  which  40%  are  locals. 
Employees of 101 nationalities are on our rolls. With 61.5% of our 
employees under the age of 30 years and the average age being 
30.3 years, we possess a very young workforce.

Our  employee  engagement  platform  is  inclusive  and 
empowering.  It  connects  employees  with  leaders  and  also 
within their peer groups. Forums such as company-level Wipro 
Meets, business unit-level All Hands Meets and regional meets 
provide  interactive  platforms  for  sharing  information  and 

feedback  and  also  conferring  rewards  and  recognitions.  We 
conducted  the  biennial  Employee  Perception  Survey  Pulse  in  
2014-15. Overall participation for the company grew by 1% to 
66%, and overall engagement grew by 2% to 62%.

Ability to access, attract and retain skilled IT professionals:

We  continue  to  innovate  newer  ways  for  accessing  and 
attracting  talent.  We  deploy  pioneering  and  meaningful 
practices  to  enhance  the  engagement,  capability  and 
competitiveness  of  our  global  workforce.  These  practices  are 
aligned  to  different  phases  of  hiring,  assimilation,  learning, 
growth and retention. 

Wipro  follows  standardized  processes  for  hiring,  on-boarding 
and training across delivery locations. We partner with various 
universities  to  build  teams  in  accordance  with  client

talent  including  Wipro  Careers  and  Internal  job  posting, 
Employee referrals, Global Campuses, industry tie-ups, Channel 
partners, Job fairs and multimedia. 

Our near-shore development centers coupled with our hiring of 
MBAs and Graduate Engineers from major universities in US & 
Europe  help  us  in  attracting  and  retaining  local  talent.  We 
continue  our  partnership  with  a  leading  university  in  India  to 
provide a program for on-the-job training and a Master's degree 
in software engineering. 

Our  leadership  position,  focus  on  training  and  compensation 
and  fascination  with  leading-edge  technologies  enhances  our 
ability to retain highly skilled personnel. Wipro offers a world of 
learning  opportunities,  including  those  aimed  at  up-skilling, 
cross-skilling or re-skilling to its employees through a slew of 
training programs in spheres of technical, domain, soft skills and 
leadership  aspects.  Through  our  tie-ups  with  premier

We continually strive to provide our employees with competitive 
and innovative Compensation& Benefits packages comprising 
of a combination of salary, stock options, pension, and health & 
disability insurance. Measuring our compensation offers against 
industry standards, we seek to match or exceed them. We have 
devised    incentive  programs  linked  to  'business  segment 
performance'  as  well  as  'individual  performance'  in  order  to 
strike the fair linkage between performance and compensation 
for each employee. 

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk Management at Wipro is an enterprise wide function. It is 
backed  by  a  qualified  team  of  specialists  with  deep  industry 
experience  who  develop  frameworks  and  methodologies  for 
assessing  and  mitigating  risks.  Enterprise  Risk  Management 
(ERM) works in close co-ordination with Business teams, Legal, 
Finance, Human Resources, Quality, office of the CIO, Delivery, 
Internal Audit and other Functional teams.

Pursuant to the changes in the Companies Act 2013 (India) and 
Companies  (Accounts)  Rules  2014,  a  controls  assurance 
program  covering  Internal  Financial  Controls  (IFC)  has  also 
been implemented during the year and would continue as an 
enhancement  to  the  existing  frameworks  based  on  the 
standards below.

environment  is  changing  dynamically  with  Cyber  security, 
Information Security & Business Continuity, Data Privacy and 
large deal execution figuring prominently in the risk charts of 
most organizations.

To  effectively  mitigate  these  risks,  we  have  deployed  a  risk 
management  framework  which  helps  proactively  identify, 
prioritize and mitigate risks.

Risk Management Model:

ERM – Ambition & Strategic Intent:

Enterprise  Risk  Management  (ERM)  will  enable  and  support 
achieving  business  objectives  through  risk-intelligent 
assessment  and  mitigation  mechanisms  while  providing 
reassurance  to  all  stakeholders  including  Customers, 
Shareholders  and  Employees  by  way  of  Identifying,  assessing 
and  mitigating  risks  within  key  business  and  functional 
processes  through  a  collaborative  approach,  leveraging 
technology and tools for continuous monitoring and reporting of 
risk’s and adequacy of controls.

a)  Risk  Register  is  created  for  each  of 
the  key  business  process  in  the 
organization.

b)  Risks and controls are mapped to the 
business objective of each process

c)  Risks  are  collated  from  all  known 

internal and external sources.

d)  Each  risk 

is  captured  with  a 
measurable Key risk indicator (“KRI”) 
indicating  gross,  current  and  target 
risk levels with mapped with the risk 
appetite  and  suitable  mitigation 
plans.

e)  Periodic reports and dashboards are 

published to track risk levels.

f)  Risks  and  mitigations  are  tracked 
jointly  with  concerned  business  or 
functional  owners  to  enhance 
accountability and focus.

g)  Periodic  risk  dashboards  are  placed 
for review with Senior Management 
and Audit committee

Risk Analysis: During the year, two new dimensions were added 
to  the  Risk  Management  Model  to  identify  and  prioritize  the 
critical risks:
  a)  Stakeholder Mapping: Expectations of each stakeholder 
(Direct and Indirect) on key risk areas specifically with 
the lens of reputation risks was done and the Top Risk 
Map for 2015-16 was enhanced. 

accordingly outlay the annual plan. The key focus is to 
build deep specialization around the high priority areas 
within  the  ERM  Function  and  provide  for  end  to  end 
mitigation solutions. 

Key  areas  of  Risk  Management  areas  for  the  year  2015-16:
(Listed alphabetically, not in order of impact)

1.  Cyber Security

  b)  Risk Prioritization: Management inputs were obtained 
to  accord  priority  to  identify  high  priority  areas  and

Major Risk Management and Risk Mitigation Initiatives

1.   Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery: Focus areas 
for  the  year  included  enhancing  the  business  continuity 
and disaster recovery planning by preparing account and 
location  specific  plans,  testing  them  through  drills  and 
including them for review with the customer. 

  2.  Cyber  Security:  Assessment  of  Cyber  Security  risks  in 
present day world indicates threat of persistent attacks, 
malware and related risks. During the year, we had taken 
up  a  strong  counter  measure  by  augmenting  our 
monitoring  and  analysis  infrastructure  along  with  new 
technology  to  identify  and  stop  attacks  and  advanced 
threats. All identified projects have been implemented and 
moving  forward  focus  to  be  on  sustaining  controls  and 
continuous improvement of solutions rolled out.

  3.  Intellectual  Property  Protection:  Focus  on  Intellectual 
Property  risk  management  continued  during  the  year. 
Additional controls have been incorporated to address the 
risks  on  account  of  opening  of  social  media  to  the 
employees.  The  controls  were  further  subjected  to  an 
independent stress testing for assessing implementation 
effectiveness. 

  4.  Employee  Health  and  Safety  -  Transportation  and 
Physical  Security:  Employee  safety  continued  as  a  core 
focus with enhanced measures for transportation process 
(24x7  operations).    Employee  survey,  spot  audits  were 
rolled  out  to  continuously  test  the  robustness  of  the 
process.

  5.   Large Program – Deal to Delivery: A Risk Management 
framework  has  been  deployed  for  large  value  deals  to 
assess  solution  fitness,  credit  risks,  financial  risks, 
technology  risks  among  other  risk  factors.  Risks  are 
assessed  and  mitigated  up-front  at  the  deal  stage  and 
tracked during delivery of the engagement. 

  6.   Proactive  anti-fraud  Initiatives:  Rule  based  anomaly 
detection systems were continued as pro-active measure 
to identify red flags and treat failure modes. Anomaly Rule 
books were designed in more than 50% of the processes 
identified as critical. During the year, pilot automation of 
the  Anomaly  rule  systems  was  done  using  Big  Data 
analytics  tools.  In  year  2015-16  the  focus  will  be  on 
production  roll  out  of  the  rule  base  and  evaluations  of 
exceptions on a near real time basis.

   7.     Stress testing: The process of stress testing of controls 
was sustained and extended to many identified key risk 
areas.  Testing  as  a  method  of  re  assurance  of  controls, 

based  on  analytics  has  provided  enhanced  ability  to 
assess rigor in process controls and enhance the process 
robustness.

  8  Awareness and Training: Role based training programs to 
enhance  risk  literacy  covering  Intellectual  Property 
practices,  information  security  compliance,  risk 
management  in  large  bids,  delivery  risk  management, 
Foreign  Corrupt  Practices  Act  and  UK  Bribery  Act 
compliance were conducted.  

Outlook
Historically,  we  have  followed  a  practice  of  providing  only 
revenue guidance for our largest business segment, namely, IT 
Services.  The  guidance  is  provided  at  the  release  of  every 
quarterly  earnings  when  detailed  Revenue  outlook  for  the 
succeeding quarter is shared. Over the years, the Company has 
performed in line with quarterly Revenue guidance.
On April 21, 2015, along with our earnings release for quarter 
ended March 31, 2015, we provided our most recent quarterly 
guidance.  Revenue  from  IT  Services  segment  for  the  quarter 
ending June 30, 2015 is likely to be ranged between USD 1,765-
1,793 million*.
* Guidance is based on the following exchange rates: GBP/USD 
at 1.49, Euro/USD at 1.07, AUD/USD at 0.77, USD/INR at 62.10
Internal Control Systems and their adequacy 
We have presence across multiple countries, and a large number 
of  employees,  suppliers  and  other  partners  collaborate  to 
provide  solutions  to  our  customer  needs.  Robust  internal 
controls and scalable processes are imperative to manage this 
global scale of operations.
For the companies listed in the United States of America, the 
Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act 
of  2002,  more  popularly  known  as  the  Sarbanes–Oxley  Act 
requires :

1.  Management  to establish,  maintain,  assess and  report  
on  effectiveness  of  internal  controls  over  financial 
reporting and;
Independent  auditors  to  opine  on  effectiveness  of 
internal controls over financial reporting.

  2. 

We  adopted  required  COSO  2013  Framework  (Committee  of 
Sponsoring    Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission)  for 
evaluating  internal  controls.  This  Framework  provides  five 
integrated components of internal controls, namely, (1) Control 
Environment,  (2)  Risk  Assessment,  (3)  Control  Activity,  (4) 
Information & Communication and (5) Monitoring. Information 
Technology  controls  which  were  documented,  assessed  and 
tested  under  the  COBIT  framework.  The  entire  evaluation  of 
internal controls was carried out by a central team reporting into 
the Chief Financial Officer.
We have obtained an unqualified report from our independent 
auditors on the effectiveness of our internal controls.

Annexure F: Corporate Social Responsibility Report for the year 2014-15

At Wipro,  our  deliberate  engagement  with  important  social 
issues goes back a long time. In 2001 we added our first organized 
community initiatives (Wipro Cares) followed by a program on 
school education in 2002 (Wipro Applying Thought in Schools). 
We started working methodically on Ecology & Environment in 
2008. In 2014, under the overarching umbrella of Education, we 
added a significant new initiative on ‘Children with Disability’. 
This program, at a conceptual level, is an extension of our long 
running  and  successful  program  for ‘Persons  with  Disability’ 
within Wipro. This  compelling  imperative  of  boundary-less 
thinking is a fundamental driving principle of all our programs.

We run all our social programs on a strong foundation of ethical 
principles, good governance and sound management. Our ‘Good 
Citizen’  manifesto  articulates  a  set  of  guiding  principles  that 
inform our thinking and actions. The manifesto covers a wide 
range – a foundation of values as embedded in Spirit of Wipro, 
compliance with laws and regulations, a robust framework of 
corporate  governance,  proactive  and  strategic  engagement 
with key challenges of the environment and society, serving our 
multiple stakeholders and working with proximate communities, 
all in a manner that is thoughtful, deliberative and systemic. 

The salient highlights of our initiatives for 2014-15 are articulated 
below. You will also find in this report a detailed summary of 
our sustainability initiatives under the ‘Business Responsibility 
Reporting’ section. It must be emphasized that our sustainability 
and social programs are wide ranging and global in scope. For 
a fuller understanding of these, you may want to refer to our 
comprehensive  annual  sustainability  reports  based  on  GRI 
principles. These and various other details are available at the 
websites, www.wipro.com and www.wipro,org 

A. 

Education

Our work in education is based on the guiding principles 
that  (a)  It  must  contribute  to  systemic  or  institutional 
improvement in education and / or (b) It should address the 
needs of underserved and underprivileged sections and (c) 
In all cases, the work must be deep and meaningful. Our 
programs span school and college education across India as 
well as in the U.S. and address the themes of ‘Organizational 
Capability  Building’, ‘Good  Quality  Educational  Material’ 
,‘Advocacy’ and ‘Sustainability in Education’.

A.1 Wipro Applying Thought in Schools (WATIS) is a social 
initiative working on building capacity in school education 
reform in India. Over the past 14 years, WATIS has worked 
closely with 35 organizations working in improvement of 
school education. Our work, spread over 67 educational 
projects,  has  involved  over  2300  schools  and  13,250 
educators across 17 states reaching out to about 1 million 
students.  A  point  to  emphasize  here  is  that  the  indirect 
impact  of  our  work  is  manifold  the  above  numbers. 
During 2014-15, six new partners were added in Assam, 
Koppal  in  Karnataka,  Hyderabad,  Kerala  and  Mumbai. 
Their work include improving the quality of education in 

66

government  schools,  strengthening  social  science  and 
ecology education in schools and supporting education 
of children from marginalized communities

A.2 Complementing the systemic engagements of WATIS 
is  the  work  of  our  trust, Wipro  Cares  that  supports  in  a 
more direct way, access to educational opportunities for 
underprivileged and marginalized children. For example, 
our  partner  of  many  years  in  Pune,  Door  Steps  Schools 
runs mobile units that provides schooling to children of 
migrant laborers working in construction sites in a city. The 
ten projects run by Wipro Cares in the cities of Bangalore, 
Pune, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai benefits 
more than 50000 children.

A.3 During the year, we started a significant new initiative 
for ‘Children with Disability’. In the first year, our programs 
supported  the  educational  and  rehabilitative  needs  of 
1350  underprivileged  children  with  disability  through 
five  projects  in  the  cities  of  Bangalore,  Pune,  Jaipur  and 
Hyderabad. Our focus is on early intervention and inclusive 
education: the first element is crucial in the battle against 
disability as early actions help prevent many subsequent 
complications; the second element underpins the principle 
that  children  with  disability  must  grow  in  a  school 
environment  that  empowers  them  by  helping  integrate 
with the mainstream.

A.4 We started a significant program in school education 
in 2013 in the U.S.A. While the expenditure associated with 
this may not be allowable as CSR as per the Companies 
Act 2013, this is an integral part of our global CSR strategy 
and  therefore  something  that  merits  disclosure. The 
program  is  currently  running  in  Chicago,  New  Jersey, 
New York and Boston. We are partnering with University 
of Massachusetts, Boston and Michigan State University. 
Mercy College in New York and Montclair State University 
in New Jersey are also involved. The program works in close 
collaboration in over 20 school districts wherein 250-350 
teachers  go  through  a  2-3  year  fellowship  with  intense 
support to develop their capacities to be better teachers 
and change leaders. The district administrators are a part 
of the program.  We intend to expand these programs to 
other cities in future. The current commitment of Wipro 
to these programs is about 7.8 million USD over a period 
of 5 years. This is a large and substantial commitment to 
improving science and math in school education, one of 
the largest such commitments made by a non US company.

A.5 earthian is a program that brings together two of our 
key concerns: Education and Sustainability. It comprises an 
annual cycle where schools and colleges across the country 
participate  in  an  enriching  learning  program;  selected 
institutions then become part of a three year Continuing 
Engagement  Program.  In  2014-15,  the  program  had  an 
outreach  to  9000  institutions.  550  schools  and  colleges 
submitted entries with 23 selected winners. The continuing

engagement comprised of college internships, a national 
level  workshop  for  the  leading  Business  Schools  of  the 
country,  sustainability  workshops  in  14  schools  for  250 
teachers and Theater-in-Education labs in two schools.

with the delivery of regular health services, lays emphasis 
on building the capacity of the communities in developing 
a higher degree of self-reliance to handle their own primary 
health care needs. 

A.6  Developing  workplace  relevant  engineering  and 
technology  skills  that  is  also  up-to-date  and  relevant  is 
critical for a country like India where the IT Services industry 
contributes  to  nearly  8%  of  the  GDP.  Our  efforts  in  this 
direction go back several years and address two important 
dimensions:  (a)  Skills  development  for  students  that  is 
based  on  a  comprehensive  framework  of  post-graduate 
level  education  and  (b)  Capacity  building  among  the 
faculty of engineering colleges.

The  Wipro  Academy  of  Software  Excellence  (WASE) 
program  that  helps  Science  graduates  to  study  for  a 
Masters degree in Software Engineering (M.Tech). Run in 
partnership with the Birla Institute of Technology & Science 
(BITS), Pilani, India, this unique program blends rigorous 
academic  exposure  with  practical  professional  learning 
at the workplace, We run a similar program called WISTA 
in collaboration with Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) 
for science graduates without a mathematics background. 
Since  its  inception  in  1995, Wipro  has  supported  and 
enabled  nearly  50000  students  to  graduate  from  the 
WASE and WISTA programs with an MS degree in Software 
Engineering.  During  2014-15,  the  total  number  of  new 
entrants  into  the  two  programs  was  1710  while  the 
aggregate strength across four years was 12850.

Mission10X  started  in  2007  has  the  goal  of  improving 
education in India’s engineering colleges. Over the last six 
years Mission10X has reached out to over 26,313 faculty 
members across 1300+ engineering colleges in 27 states. 
The  work  involves  faculty  capacity  development,  and 
curricular improvement. The initiative has also catalyzed 
a group of 20 organizations working on the same space. It 
has also created a substantial on-line resource base which 
is expanding

B.  Primary Health Care and Communities

B.1 Along with education, access to primary health care is 
a key determinant of an individual’s future trajectory in life, 
including the ability to engage in productive livelihoods 
and  responsible  citizenship,  In  India,  nearly  600  million 
people do not have access to basic health care which is 
affordable and of good quality. At Wipro, our approach in 
this regard is to focus on the health needs of our proximate 
communities around the major centers of our operations. 
We run these programs through Wipro Cares, our public 
trust.

Wipro Cares works with partners who oversee the delivery 
of good quality primary health care services to underserved 
communities  covering  more  than  75000  people  in  53 
villages across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh & 
Uttarakhand. We follow an integrated approach that along 

B.2 Disadvantaged communities face several challenges 
and  one  that  visits  them  at  regular  frequency  in  our 
country  is  natural  disasters  like  earthquakes,  floods  and 
cyclonic storms. The already fragile basis of their livelihoods 
gets  further  disrupted  in  the  wake  of  a  natural  disaster. 
Since  2002,we  have  responded  in  both  monetary  terms 
and in-kind to several natural calamities wherein Wipro’s 
employees  have  also  risen  to  the  occasion  and  played 
a sterling role. By design, we focus on the more difficult 
challenge  of  long  term  rehabilitation  of  the  affected 
communities.

During  2014,  we  initiated  two  disaster  rehabilitation 
projects  in  Uttarakhand  and  Odisha  in  response  to  the 
floods and cyclone events in 2013. In line with our approach, 
both these projects focus on long term rehabilitation and 
strengthening of the affected communities. In Uttarakhand, 
in  collaboration  with  very  credible  local  partners  with  a 
long  track  record,  multiple  activities  on  strengthening 
local  livelihoods  were  initiated.  20  village  level  farmer’s 
group  have  been  formed  with  the  objective  of  training 
them on alternate methods of farming.8964 fruit saplings 
have  been  planted  in  farms  belonging  to  293  farmers 
while 236 beneficiaries have been identified for vegetable 
plantation. Our work in Odisha touched the lives of 250 
farmers and their families who were provided fishing nets 
and awareness training around them, Village level Disaster 
Committees were set up in 15 villages.

C. 

Ecology & Environment

Ecological sustainability is one of the defining challenges 
facing  humanity  in  the  21st  century.  How  we  manage 
the issues of climate change, water scarcity, biodiversity 
loss  and  pollution  will  determine  the  trajectory  of  our 
development. Wipro’s engagement with these issues goes 
back several years and is based on the dual approach of 
(a)  continually  improving  the  energy,  water,  waste  and 
biodiversity  footprint  of  our  business  operations  and 
(b) engaging on community-level actions and advocacy 
on  these  issues.  We  present  below  some  interesting 
illustrations of our work

C.1 We  initiated  the “Participative  Community Water 
Program”  in  the  Sarjapur  area  in  Bangalore  which  is 
completely  dependent  on  groundwater. The  initiative 
seeks  to  involve  proximate  communities  in  a  unique 
citizen-led  governance  model  of  groundwater.  The 
year saw the successful completion of the first phase of 
developing  a  detailed  groundwater  aquifer  map  for  a 
33 sq km area around our Sarjapur campus. The aquifer 
map along with a citizen portal will help inform collective 
decision making on groundwater management in a more 
scientific manner

C.2. Our urban biodiversity program addresses the twin 
goals  of  creating  biodiversity  in  our  urban  campuses 
while also using it as a platform for wider education and 
advocacy,  Our  first  project  of  a  unique  Butterfly  Park  in 
the Electronic City campus in Bangalore was initiated two 
years  back  and  completed  in  early  2014.  In  2014-15  we 
progressed as per plan on the next phase of an innovatively 
conceived wetland biodiversity zone that will use recycled 
water.  In  our  Pune  campus,  the  first  phase  has  been 
completed with a tripling of the number of native species 
from  59  to  167.  Both  these  projects  will  serve  a  larger 
purpose of education on biodiversity and the plan going 
forward is to link it with our earthian program for schools 
on sustainability education.

C.3 Rapid development of renewable energy (RE) solutions 
is a crucial element in combating climate change. India has 
put together a clear road map of adding RE capacity over 
the next 10 years. Business can play an important role in 
both,  the  production  ecosystem  and  through  conscious 
choices in purchasing RE in its own operations. At Wipro, 
renewable  energy  accounts  for  more  than  20%  of  the 
electricity footprint and in 2014-15, we procured 66 Million 
units of RE translating into 52000 metric tons of greenhouse 
gas emissions avoided.

C.4  Effective  and  efficient  management  of  urban  solid 
waste  is  a  pressing  problem  in  all  our  cities. While  the 
use of right technology, good governance and the active 
participation of civil society are important determinants 
of  success,  the  work  of  the  informal  sector  is  often 
unrecognized. We initiated a project in Bangalore that will 

provide  skills  upgrading  to  260  workers  in  the  informal 
sector of waste along with access to better nutrition, safety 
gear and health insurance.

C.5 We have been supporting a program in social forestry 
in rural Tamil Nadu near Chennai for the past four years. 
The program works towards the twin goals of afforestation 
and improved livelihood options. More than 80 farmers are 
the beneficiaries of the income that will accrue from the 
produce of more than a hundred thousand trees that have 
been planted.

D.  The power of engaged employees

Employees  are  integral  to  many  of  our  social  programs. 
The Wipro  Cares  trust  is  built  on  a  model  of  employee 
contribution that is matched by Wipro. Nearly one in three 
employees or more than 48,000 Wiproites are contributors 
to Wipro  Cares  making  this  possibly  the  largest  such 
initiative in India and one of the largest in the world. During 
2014-15, nearly 1600 employees also engaged with more 
than 3600 hours of volunteer work, Employees have also 
keen participants in other significant initiatives including 
those  on  campus  biodiversity  and  improving  public 
transportation services.

In conclusion, we recognize that this is a journey where 
one learns all the time. While on the matter of ethics and 
values, we will hold ourselves up to the highest standards, 
on  matters  of  governance  and  management  of  our 
CSR  programs,  we  recognize  that  there  could  be  many 
opportunities for improvement. We will continually self-
reflect, act, and review all the time.

In the column ‘Cumulative expenditure till reporting period’, we have chosen to take 2014-15 as the base year. It is however not to be interpreted that this is the 
first year of our CSR programs. Many of our programs go back more than 10 years and some more than 15 years. Given the practical challenges in reporting the 
cumulative expenditure from inception, we have chosen to start with the current year as the base year.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 
REPORT 2014-15

We believe in adopting best practices of Corporate Governance 
and striving for continuous improvement. Our guiding principles 
and  practices  followed  by  all  stakeholders  are  summarized 
in  this  Corporate  Governance  Report. These  are  articulated 
through  Company’s  Code  of  Business  Conduct,  Corporate 
Governance Guidelines and charters of various sub-committees 
of  the  Board  and  Company’s  Disclosure  Policy. These  policies 
seek to focus on enhancement of long term shareholder value 
without compromising on ethical standards and corporate social 
responsibilities.

The Spirit of Wipro represents the Core Values of Wipro framed 
around these Corporate Governance principles and practices. 
The three values encapsulated in the Spirit of Wipro are:

98.22%	of	outstanding	equity	shares	have	been	dematerialised	
upto	March	31,	2015.

SECOND LAYER: GOVERNANCE BY THE BOARD OF 
DIRECTORS 

Composition of Board

As	 of	 March	 31,	 2015,	 we	 had	 seven	 non-executive	 directors	
and	three	executive	directors,	of	which	one	executive	director	is	
Chairman	of	our	Board.	All	of	the	seven	non-executive	directors	
are independent directors and free from any business or other 
relationship	that	could	materially	influence	their	judgment.	All	
the independent directors satisfy the criteria of independence 
as	defined	under	the	listing	agreement	with	the	Indian	Stock	
Exchanges	 and	 the	 New	 York	 Stock	 Exchange	 Corporate	
Governance standards. The profiles of our Directors are given 
from	page	no.	14	to	19	of	this	report.

Information flow to the Board Members

Information	is	provided	to	the	Board	members	on	a	continuous	
basis for their review, inputs and approval from time to time. 
More	 specifically,	 we	 present	 our	 annual	 Strategic	 Plan	 and	
Operating Plans of our business to the Board for their review, 
inputs	and	approval.	Likewise,	our	quarterly	financial	statements	
and annual financial statements are first presented to the Audit 
Committee and subsequently to the Board of Directors for their 
approval.	In	addition	specific	cases	of	acquisitions,	important	
managerial decisions, material positive/negative developments 
and statutory matters are presented to the Committees of the 
Board and later with the recommendation of committee to the 
Board of Directors for their approval.

As a system, in most cases, information to Directors is submitted 
along  with  the  agenda  papers  well  in  advance  of  the  Board 
meeting.	Inputs	and	feedback	of	Board	members	are	taken	in	
preparation of agenda and documents for the Board meeting.

We  schedule  meetings  of  our  business  heads  and  functional 
heads  with  the  Directors  prior  to  the  Board  meeting  dates. 
These meetings facilitate Directors to provide their inputs and 
suggestions on various strategic and operational matters directly 
to the business and functional heads.

Board Meetings

We decide about the Board meeting dates in consultation with 
Board Governance, Nomination and Compensation Committee 
and  all  our  directors,  based  on  the  practices  of  earlier  years. 
Once  approved  by  the  Board  Governance,  Nomination  and 
Compensation Committee, the schedule of the Board meeting 
and Board Committee meetings is communicated in advance to 
the Directors to enable them attend the meetings.

Our Board meetings are normally scheduled for two days. The 
gap	between	two	meetings	did	not	exceed	four	months.	The	
necessary quorum was present for all the meetings.

92

In	addition,	every	quarter,	Independent	Directors	meet	amongst	
themselves	exclusively.

The Board met four times in financial year 2014 viz., on, April 
16-17,	 2014,	 July	 24,	 2014,	 October	 22,	 2014	 and	 January	 16,	
2015.	The	 maximum	 interval	 between	 any	 two	 meetings	 did	
not	exceed	120	days.

Meetings for the year ended March 31, 2015 is provided in

FOURTH  LAYER:  GOVERNANCE  OF  THE  MANAGEMENT 
PROCESS

Code of Business Conduct

In	1983,	we	articulated	‘Wipro	Beliefs’	consisting	of	six	statements.

At the core of beliefs was integrity articulated as

•	

Our	 individual	 and	 Company	 relationship	 should	 be	
governed by the highest standard of conduct and integrity. 

Over years, this articulation has evolved in form but remained 
constant in substance. Today we articulate it as Code of Business 
Conduct.

In	our	Company,	the	Board	of	Directors	and	all	employees	have	
a responsibility to understand and follow the Code of Business 
Conduct.	 All	 employees	 are	 expected	 to	 perform	 their	 work	
with honesty and integrity. Wipro’s Code of Business Conduct 
reflects	general	principles	to	guide	employees	in	making	ethical	
decisions. This  code  is  also  applicable  to  our  representatives. 
The Code outlines fundamental ethical considerations as well 
as  specific  considerations  that  need  to  be  maintained  for 
professional  conduct. This  Code  has  been  displayed  on  the 
Company’s  website.  www.wipro.com/corporate/investors/ 
corporate-governance.

BUSINESS
RESPONSIBILITY
REPORT

Introductory Context 
Our  fourth  Business  Responsibility  Report  (BRR)  published 
along with the Annual Financial Report provides an overview of 
Wipro’s sustainability program for the year 2014-15. This report 
is a summary of our sustainability program and must be read in 
conjunction with our more detailed sustainability report which 
is published separately every year.

Our Sustainability reporting was based on the GRI 3.1 framework 
till 2013-14 and externally assessed at application level “A” for the 
last seven years. We are transitioning to GRI 4 framework from 
the 2014-15 reporting year.

 In preparing this overview, while drawing from our GRI reporting 
experience,  we  have  largely  aligned  it  with  the ‘National 
Voluntary Guidelines (NVGs) on the Social, Environmental and 
Economic responsibilities of Business” released by the Ministry 
of Corporate Affairs in 2011. 

•	 For	 details	 of	 the	 NVGs,	 please	 refer	 http://www.
mca.gov.in/Ministry/latestnews/National_Voluntary_
Guidelines_2011_12jul2011.pdf

•	 Our	Sustainability	Reports	can	be	viewed	and	downloaded	
at	http://www.wipro.com/about-Wipro/sustainability/

Materiality & Scope

The scope of this report covers all of Wipro Ltd.’s business - unless 
mentioned otherwise - and is for the financial year 2014-15. 

The  content  for  this  section  is  driven  by  the  twin  pillars  of 
Stakeholder  Inclusiveness  and  Materiality  Determination  i.e. 
‘Who  are  our  stakeholders?’  and ‘What  issues  are  material  to 
them?’ The  stakeholders,  identification  of  nineteen  material 
aspects and their relative position in terms of relevance to Wipro 
and	stakeholders	is	available	at	http://wiprosustainabilityreport.
com/materiality-determination.	

The  principal  sustainability  topics  covered  in  this  report  are 
structured as shown in the table for clarity of understanding, 
the  corresponding  NVG  principle  against  each  topic  is 
mentioned.

Further  disclosures  pursuant  to  Clause  55  of  the  Listing 
Agreement are provided on our website at  www.wipro.com

As the larger sustainability context has changed and progressed 
significantly over the last six years – stakeholders’ perceptions and 
expectations have changed and assessments of sustainability 
risks  and  opportunities  have  transformed.  Further,  our 
sustainability  program  has  matured,  which  has  helped  us  in 
developing  a  deeper  understanding  of  various  aspects  and 
issues,  and  more  clarity  on  the  changes  we  could  make  in 
our approach.  Therefore, in early 2014, we began the process 
of  reviewing  our  materiality  framework  and  changing  it  as 
strategically  appropriate. The  materiality  revision  process  is 
ongoing and expansive, and takes a fresh look at the material 
dimensions and recalibrate them afresh, without assumptions 
or  pre-determined  notions.  As  part  of  this  process  we  are 
engaging  with  multiple  stakeholders,  separately  as  well  as 
collectively,  so  as  to  get  individual  and  group  perspectives. 

Stakeholder Engagement
Management Approach:

Defining  who  an  organization’s  primary  stakeholders 
are  can  be  relatively  straightforward  within  the  business 
ecosystem but complex when it comes to the larger social 
and environmental contexts.

Annual Report 2014-15Our  stakeholder  group  is  comprehensive,  and  we  seek  to 
engage with them on important social and ecological issues. 
Our eight identified stakeholders are

Corporate Governance

Management Approach:

•	 Employees

•	 Customers

•	

Investors

•	 Suppliers

•	 The	 Education	 ecosystem:	 Partners	 and	 Academic	
Institutes

•	 Communities	and	Civil	Society	Networks

•	 Government	and	Policy	Networks

•	 The	Young	Citizen	and	Future	Generations

At Wipro, we have always viewed our Customers, Employees 
and  Investors  as  strategic  partners  and  stakeholders. While 
the  IT  services  industry  model  does  not  necessitate  a  deep 
supply chain, the rapid expansion of this sector in the last two 
decades has resulted in a variety of ancillary services e.g. bus 
transport, housekeeping, canteen, security. Services Suppliers 
and Contractors have thus become critical stakeholders for our 
operations. These support or ancillary services are especially 
vulnerable  to  human  rights  and  labour  practices  violations 
due	to	socio-economic	conditions/background.	Over	the	last	
decade, our programs in education and community care have 
brought us in close engagement with two new stakeholders 
–	 Partners	 in	 the	 Education	 Ecosystem	 and	 Proximate	
Communities. Wipro  engages  closely  with  Government  on 
policy advocacy, both through industry networks as well as 
directly. The principal areas of engagement relate to energy, 
water, e-waste, education policy and the recent CSR rules under 
the Companies Bill 2012.

We think that the future must inform our thinking and actions 
on  sustainability  more  than  anything  else,  as  otherwise  our 
vision  will  stop  short  of  being  truly  sustainable;  therefore, 
our	 eighth	 stakeholder	 is	‘the	Young	 Citizen	 and	 Future	
Generations’. This  stakeholder  group  captures  the  centrality 
of our planetary actions to the lives of the current generation 
of children and young adult who will have to live through and 
negotiate any adverse environmental impacts in a few decades 
from now. While this group may not have a tangible and real 
face to it, we try to use them as an anchoring guide for our 
thinking and actions.  

The  summary  representation  of  our  eight  stakeholders,  the 
modes and frequency of our engagement with them and the 
major issues of engagement that have emerged over a period 
of	time	are	disclosed	in	our	2013-14	Sustainability	Report.	http://
www.wiprosustainabilityreport.com/summary-stakeholder-
engagement

An  organization’s  economic  and  social  license  to  operate 
depends on the soundness of its governance and management 
practices. The  visual  below  showing  the  organizational 
architecture  of Wipro  illustrates  this  point  –  most  of  the 
boxes reflect a long-term orientation that a company needs 
to assiduously build and ingrain into its DNA.

Sustainability Governance

The centrality of Sustainability to Wipro’s vision and outlook is 
reflected in the commitment and engagement with sustainability 
issues by Wipro’s leadership team, starting with our Chairman. 
The board is also involved in the oversight of our sustainability 
&  CSR  initiatives  and  the  Board  Governance,  Nomination  & 
Compensation Committee headed by an independent director 
is the apex body that oversees our policy and programs. 

Our  Chief  Sustainability  Officer  (CSO)  who  is  part  of  the 
Corporate  Executive  Council,  the  senior  most  executive  body 
in  the  organization  carries  overarching  responsibility  for  our 
sustainability  charter  and  reports  to  the  chairman  and  the 
Committee. The strength of our sustainability governance is also 
derived  from  the  fact  that  multiple  functions  see  themselves 
as  key  stakeholders  in  its  success;  among  these,  the  Global 
Operations	 team,	 the	 People	 Function,	 the	 Investor	 Relations	
team  and  the  Legal  team  play  a  major  role  in  several  of  the 
programs. The sustainability program is reviewed on a quarterly 
basis  by  the  Chairman  and  the  Corporate  Executive  Council.

Code of Business Conduct

Management Approach: 

Wipro has a corporation wide Code of Business  Conduct (COBC) 
that provides the broad direction as well as specific guidelines for 
all business transactions. The COBC is applicable to all business

The	code	can	be	accessed	at	http://www.wipro.com/Documents/
investors/pdf-files/code-of-business-conduct-and-ethics.pdf.	
The  COBC  is  socialized  at  multiple  points  of  an  employee’s 
lifecycle  -  it  is  first  covered  as  part  of  the  induction  program 
of new hires and subsequently, every employee has to take an 
online  test  annually  to  assert  their  familiarity  with  the  tenets 
of the COBC. 

Having a robust whistleblower policy that employees and other 
stakeholders can use without fear or apprehension is a sine non 
qua  for  a  transparent  and  ethical  company. Wipro’s  Ombuds-
process  allows  and  encourages  any  affected  stakeholder  to 
report breaches of the COBC and any other matter of integrity 
to  the  concerned  Ombuds-person.  In  conjunction  with  the 
Prevention	of	Sexual	Harassment	policy,	the	Ombuds	process	
provides a strong framework of assurance and protection to all 
our stakeholders through 24x7 access to the online portal and 
helpline number..

In Wipro,  our  Chief  Ombuds-person  works  with  designated 
Ombuds-persons  in  each  Business  Unit. The  process  ensures 
confidential  and  anonymous  submissions  regarding  (i) 
questionable  accounting  or  auditing  matters,  the  conduct 
of  which  results  in  a  violation  of  law  by Wipro  (ii)  substantial 
mismanagement  of  company  resources  (iii)  Any  instance  of 
sexual harassment or any other form of discrimination (iv) Any 
violation of human rights as articulated in the COBC and as per 
the principles of the U. N. Global Compact. In 2014-15, a total 
of 1093 complaints were received via the Ombuds process and 
the  action  taken  cases  as  of  March  2015  was  88%.  Based  on 
self-disclosure data, 60% of these were from employees and the 
balance were mainly anonymous and from other stakeholderlike 
vendors  and  customers.  A  total  of  100  complaints  of  sexual 
harassment was raised through Ombuds, of which 92 cases were 
substantiated and appropriate actions were taken in all cases.

the  way  we  engage  with  our  people  and  instill  a  culture 
committed to success for our clients, and societies at large.

growth journey, aspirations and needs with the organization’s 
vision

Wipro, leadership capability is built through training, coaching, 
on-job mentoring and through customized developmental 
plans  developed  through  bottom-up  and  360-degree 
feedback mechanisms.

Grow Pride:  We encourage employees to view results and 
success holistically, i.e. looking beyond financial performance 
on how we impact our ecology and our society. Our pride lies 
in our oneness - developing and fostering a sense of teamwork 
and a unified culture. 

We are committed to building a culture in which employees, 
and those seeking employment in Wipro, can compete in a 
fair,	open	and	transparent	environment.	Principles	of	equal	
opportunity and meritocracy are embedded in our core values 
and aligned to globally accepted standards and principles of 
the U.N. Global Compact, U.N. Universal Declaration of Human 
Rights and International Labour Organization. Our company 
wide Code of Business Conduct (COBC) provides guidelines 
and direction for responsible business conduct and imbibes 
our  commitment  for  human  rights  and  zero  tolerance  for 
discrimination at all stages of employee lifecycle. Our hiring, 
training,  compensation,  promotion,  role  movements  and 
other key people processes are based on principles of merit

this  facilitates  continuous  improvement  in  people  related 
practices  within  the  organisation. We  also  believe  that  an 
empowered  workforce  is  the  best  way  to  receive  feedback 
and identify improvement areas. Through mailers, posters and 
other modes of communication, we encourage employees to 
highlight	concerns,	grievances	and	policy/integrity	breaches.	
The	Ombuds	Process	and	Prevention	of	Sexual	Harassment	
Committees  provide  all  employees,  vendors,  suppliers  and 
customers a secure and 24x7 access to raise grievances.

‘Women of Wipro’ (WoW) - Wipro’s Gender Equity Program

Recognizing that at different life-stages the needs & expectations 
of women employees are different, Wipro adopted a life-stage 
based approach to its gender equity initiative and ‘Women of 
Wipro’ program was launched in 2008. Over a period of time, a 
number  of  initiatives  under  the WoW  program  have  resulted 
in  higher  engagement  levels  for  women  as  measured  by  our 
Employee	Perception	Survey.

Key highlights of 2014-15:

•	 45	high	potential	women	employees	participated	in	the	
Women in Leadership Mentorship program.

•	 A	 cross	 function	 team	 of	 representatives	 spanning	 all	
stages of employee life-cycle worked on a project to identify 
touch points that impact gender equity. Findings from this 
project have identified key lead indicators and discussions

Our	 inclusion	 framework	 for	 Persons	 with	 Disability	 (PwD)	
focuses	 on	 6	 key	 themes	 of	 Policy,	 Accessible	 Infrastructure,	
Accessible  Information  Systems,  Recruitment,  Training 
and  Awareness.  We  have  institutionalized  a  reasonable 
accommodation policy for employees with special needs. Over 
87  of  our  intranet  applications  and Wipro.com  website  are 
accessible, complying with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 
(WCAG)  2.0  guidelines. This  effort  is  supported  by  a  specially 
trained team of engineers and Subject Matter Experts and field 
community testers. Accessible infrastructure at our campuses 
includes hand rails, ramps, lifts, designated parking spaces and 
customized workstations. Technology assistance is available in 
the form of modified laptops, voice activated programs and other 
assistive applications. Our ‘Kinesics’ portal provides employees 
across the globe a medium to learn the basics of sign language 
and apply it to terminology prevalent in IT environment.

We  have  also  engaged  a  full  time  consultant  from  Diversity 
and  Equal  Opportunity  Centre  (DEOC)  to  keep  us  abreast  of 
the changes in the environment, statutory obligations and also 
to advice on next-level inclusion initiatives for employees with 
disabilities.

Employee Engagement & Empowerment

Wipro has continually sought to implement practices to enhance 
the engagement, capability and competitiveness of our talented, 
global workforce. These practices are aligned to different phases 
of  hiring,  assimilation,  learning,  growth  and  retention  and 
shaped by the Spirit of Wipro values. The Spirit of Wipro values 
weave the thread that ties all Wiproites together and also shapes 
leadership behavior. Employees’ feedback on the Spirit of Wipro 
values	is	a	key	component	in	our	Employee	Perception	Survey	
as well as in our Wipro Leaders’ Qualities 360-degree feedback 
process.

While  the  Spirit  of  Wipro  defines  the  core  values  of  the 
organization,	 the	Wipro	Tenets	 were	 launched	 in	 FY	 2013-14	
to explain the value system in action.  Advocacy of the tenets 
continued to be the focus in 2014-15 through CEO and business 
leaders’ communication, Tenet evangelist workshops and Tenet 
immersion sessions. 

Over  the  years,  our  focus  on  participative  engagement  has 
increased and our programs have been more closely aligned to 
cater to our diverse and multi-generational workforce. Employee 
feedback  has  led  to  the  review  of  and  changes  in  legacy 
initiatives like the Unified Competency Framework (UCF) to make 

110

it more relevant to the needs of the current and future workforce. 
The  erstwhile  UCF  certification  is  currently  being  revamped. 
Through mailers, awareness sessions and announcements on the 
intranet	and	forums	such	as	Yammer,	these	changes	are	being	
communicated to employees.

Our  employee  engagement  programs  are  driven  at  multiple 
levels	 –	 organizational,	 unit/team	 and	 individual	 and	 also	
includes  retainers  and  contractors  on  projects.  Besides  our 
awareness  campaigns  like  email  announcements,  kiosks  and 
on-floor sessions, business and HR managers are key enablers to 
employee engagement. Defined metrics on connects like ‘Wipro 
Meets’, ‘All  Hands  Meet’,  one-to-one  and  team  meetings  are 
embedded in the key performance areas of leaders and HR alike.

Employee Feedback

Wipro  is  committed  to  engaging  in  direct  and  open 
communication  with  all  our  employees. Through  multiple 
formal and informal channels, employee feedback is solicited 
throughout the year and actions initiated at micro and macro 
levels.	 People	 metrics	 form	 a	 key	 parameter	 in	 assessing	
performance  of  leaders  and  HR  practitioners  and  are  tracked 
and reviewed regularly.

Yammer   

Wipro’s  focus  on  collaboration,  transparency  and  employee 
empowerment	led	to	the	launch	of	Yammer,	an	enterprise	social	
platform, in August 2014. Over 57,000 Wiproites are currently 
Yammer	users	and	over	4700	public	and	private	groups	have	
been	formed.	Through	activities	like	contests,	‘YamJam’	sessions,	
recognitions,	leadership	updates	and	special	interest/functional	
groups,	 use	 of	Yammer	 has	 led	 to	 increased	 networking	 and	
collaboration amongst employees separated by businesses and 
geographies.	Yammer	has	also	enabled	employees	to	provide	
real-time feedback through online polls and ask queries directly 
to	leaders	/	functional	teams.	

Employee Advocacy Group (EAG) 

The  Employee  Advocacy  Group  (EAG)  is  a  120  member 
representative group managed by Wiproites to voice employee 
suggestions.  EAG  Members  aim  to  pool  employee  ideas  and 
provide  recommendations  to  improve  company  policies  and 
processes.  EAG  was  formed  in  Sep  2011  and  has  received 
about 6148 suggestions since inception. During 2014-15, 1053 
inputs  were  received,  of  which  706  did  not  fall  under  the 
purview of new suggestions and were closed via clarification 
to employee. The balance 347 inputs  received were screened by 
the EAG team and then by functional representatives. Shortlisted 
suggestions were further discussed with functional heads for 
implementation. Of these, ~43% are under consideration by EAG, 
~50% are work-in-progress and ~6% have been implemented 
as	process/policy	improvements.

Employee Associations

We  respect  the  right  of  employees  to  free  association  and 
union  representation,  without  fear  of  reprisal,  discrimination,

(~1%)  are  represented  through  registered  trade  unions,  local 
employee representative groups and work councils. in Ireland, 
Germany,	 Finland,	 Sweden,	 France,	 Austria,	 Poland	 Romania,	
Netherlands and Australia. The HR function meets these groups 
periodically  to  inform  and  consult  on  any  changes  that  can 
impact work environment and terms and conditions

Employee Perception Survey (EPS)

Employee	Perception	Survey	is	a	biennial	survey	through	which	
we capture employee engagement & feedback. Additionally, a 
shorter	EPS	Pulse	survey	is	conducted	in	the	interim	period	to	
provide a stock-take on actions implemented as a result of the 
main	EPS	survey.	With	66%	participation,	EPS	Pulse	2014	showed	
an	increase	of	1%	in	participation	over	EPS	2013,	and	also	an	
increase of 2% in the overall engagement score.

Employee Health, Safety and Well-being

Manager	 quality	 and	 role/job	 which	 were	 identified	 as	 focus	
areas	 through	 the	 previous	 EPS,	 emerged	 as	 top	 satisfaction	
levers	in	Pulse	2014,	along	with	Tenets.	Additionally,	areas	like	
Individual	Development	Plan	and	Career	Opportunities	showed	
an	improvement	in	satisfaction	level	over	EPS	2013.

A  specific  communication  campaign  has  been  launched 
to	 cascade	 EPS	 Pulse	 focus	 areas	 to	 employees	 across	 the	
organization.  Key  focus  areas  identified  includes  the  revamp 
of  Unified  Competency  Framework  (UCF),  Simplification  of 
processes  like  appraisals,  variable  pay  policy  and  resourcing, 
and changes to the promotion process to create more growth 
opportunities. Action planning is in progress with functional and 
leadership teams to address these areas.

Workplace health and safety has a major impact on productivity and engagement. We have institutionalized health and safety 
processes, with special focus on aspects such as women’s safety, assistance to persons with disability, emergency response and 
preventive health & safety measures. Our effort is to create and maintain an inclusive workplace that fosters learning in a safe, 
healthy environment for all and positively influences employees’ physical, mental and emotional well-being.

technical experts. 67 experts have so far been identified through 
this program.

Manager Excellence Framework (MEF) 

Wipro Business Process Services (WBPS) Engagement Index (EI)

MEF	was	launched	as	an	outcome	of	EPS	2011	survey	to	build	
manager capability and includes a reportee feedback survey, 
workshops,  mentorship  and  on-demand  access  to  articles, 
research  material  etc.  Insight  surveys  have  been  initiated  for 
close to 6000 managers, with 1600+ surveys initiated in 2014-15 
and 2300+ managers were covered in one or more HR process 
workshops.

With a view to enhance first and mid-level manager effectiveness, 
Wipro	BPO	launched	the	Engagement	Index	(EI)	in	2010	across	
operations.  Every  quarter,  performance  data  on  people 
parameters is tracked for each manager and translated into an 
EI score which is linked to their variable payout, to create high 
level  of  accountability  and  ownership.  Overall  Engagement 
Index achievement levels for 2014-15 closed at 91.5%, consistent 
with 2013-14 levels. 

Responsible  People  Supply  Chain  -  Contract  Employee 
Engagement

Wipro’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics contains our stated 
commitment to human rights and through our Supplier Code 
of Conduct, we also encourage our suppliers to do the same.

Our focus on responsible people practices extends across our 
people value chain, and covers over 28200 contract employees 
and retainers, primarily located across our operations in India. 
Around 54% of these are skilled technical employees who are 
engaged in IT service projects. Many of them are deployed at 
our	client	sites,	and	a	customized	Partner	Employee	Engagement	
team  in  our  Global  Infrastructure  Service  is  responsible  for 
building  an  engaged  and  motivated  contract  employee 
workforce. 

In  Q2  of  2014-15,  an  initiative  called ‘Meet  Matters’  was 
launched with an intent to have formal and structured partner 
employee  connects  to  address  queries  and  concerns.  Over 
15  such  partner  employee  connects  were  held  in  2014-15 

and  included  representatives  from  partner  organization  and 
Wipro  HR.  Discussions  revolved  around  areas  like  transport, 
insurance,	payslips	etc.	Plan	of	actions	were	shared	with	partner	
organization for review and closure. 

In  addition  to  our  skilled  contract  workforce,  we  also  have 
around  46%    non-skilled  contract  workforce  deployed  in  key 
support  functions  such  as  Facilities  Management,  Security, 
Transportation,  Hospitality  and  other  soft  services. They  are 
regularly engaged through trainings relating to health, safety, 
gender  sensitization,  sensitivity  training  on  assisting  persons 
with disabilities etc.

Acknowledging  that  non-compliance  to  fair  labour  practices 
has a serious impact on business continuity and engagement 
of partner employees, Wipro conducts annual audits for partner 
organizations. Supplier contracts carry clear expectations related 
to  human  rights  aspects,  aligned  with  our  Supplier  Code  of 
Conduct and performance on these parameters forms a major 
input for contract renewals.

existing owned locations in the reporting year.

Overseas:		83	locations,	which	includes	8	customer	data	centers.	
Nearly all of the office locations overseas are leased.

Management system

Our programs and management systems are pivoted and derived 
from  the  Ecological  Sustainability  Commitment,  available  at 
http://wipro.org/resource/Ecological_Sustainability_Policy.
pdf  .  We  have  been  following  the  guidelines  of  the  ISO 
14001  framework  for  more  than  a  decade  now  as  one  of  the 
cornerstones of our Environmental Management System (EMS). 
18 of our campus sites in India and 2 in Australia are certified to 
the	standards	of	ISO	14001:2004.

Energy Efficiency & GHG Mitigation

Our goal was to reduce the Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG intensity 
of	Wipro’s	operations	by	45%	over	a	4	year	period	:	from	2.42	MT	
per employee in 2010-11 to 1.3 MT per employee by 2014-15, 
translating into a net reduction of nearly 60,600 tons for Wipro 
IT business. This target was applied to all of our campus facilities 
and offices. The goals for the next 5-10 years are currently being 
framed using climate change based target setting methodology.

Energy Consumption: The total energy consumption, electricity 
and back-up diesel generated, for office spaces across all global 
operations  in  IT  is  324  Mn  Units  (India  contributes  to  294 
Mn units).  Data centers with in India and overseas (USA and 
Germany) contribute to another 88 Mn units.

Office  Space  Energy  Metrics:  Energy  efficiency  measures 
contributed to a 4 % decrease in office space energy intensity 
from  2799  to  2686  units  per  employee  per  annum. This  is 
primarily  from  (a)  energy  optimization  measures,  retrofit  of 
older  equipment  with  more  energy  efficient  equipment  and 
consolidation of operations accompanied by a transition from 
leased to owned facilities with the resulting increase in overall 
utilization  of  office  space  and  better  quality  of  maintenance 
operations and (b) maintaining share of renewables at 22% of 
the total office energy consumption.

Emissions Intensity: Our global office space emissions intensity 
(Scope 1 and Scope 2) is at 1.74 tons per person per annum, a 
decrease of 3.4% from last year.  This is still short of our five year 
target of 1.3 tons, primarily due to constraints in scaling up our 
renewable energy footprint.

Ecological Sustainability

Management Approach:

Ecological sustainability is a cornerstone of our charter and 
a major driver of our key programs. Our approach is built on 
the  pillars  of  Energy  and  GHG  mitigation, Water  efficiency 
and	 Responsible	Water	 management,	 Pollution	 and	Waste	
management,	Biodiversity	and	Product	Stewardship.	

The  increasing  centrality  of  issues  like  climate  change  and 
water  stress  in  the  last  few  years  has  led  organizations  to 
look beyond their boundaries. While internal business drivers 
like  resource efficiency, waste management and  pollution 
mitigation  have  been  the  primary  levers  of  any  corporate  
environmental  program  for  many  now,  organizations  have 
come to realize that in order to make a real impact at a larger, 
systemic  level,  one  can  no  longer  ignore  the  externalized 
costs of ecological damage. The responsible water program 
and  community  programs  on  waste  are  two  examples  of 
such programs.

Energy Efficiency

RE Generation

RE Purchase

Energy Efficiency: Over the preceding five year period, we have 
implemented a variety of energy efficiency measures.  We were 
one of the early adopters of Green Building Design with 19 of 
our current buildings certified to the international LEED standard 
(Silver,	Gold,	and	Platinum).	

Since 2007, we have been working on a server rationalization and 
virtualization program, through which we have decommissioned 
old physical servers and replaced the processing capacity with 
virtualization  technology  on  fewer  numbers  of  servers.  As  of 
March 2015, we have 2088 virtual servers running on 147 physical 
servers – contributing to an energy savings of approximately 9 
Million units annually, an increase of 3% over the previous year.

RE  procurement:    For  the  reporting  period  of  2014-15,  we 
procured	65	Mn	units	of	Renewable	energy	through	PPAs	(Power	
Purchase	agreements)	with	private	producers,	which	contributed	
to  approximately  22%  of  our  total  office  space  energy 
consumption in the IT business. However this fell significantly 
short of our target of 130 Mn units for the reporting year.

While we have an ambitious renewable target, renewables do 
bring in embedded environmental costs through materials and 
land use change, including emerging socio-economic challenges 
related to land acquisition and sustainability of promoters and 
their financing. One cannot discount the fact that the technology 
itself is maturing and in many areas the infrastructure is not yet in 
place to enable large scale evacuation and storage of renewable 
power.	The	 renewable	 energy	 trading/purchase	 mechanism	
(REC- Renewable Energy Certificate) for open access consumers 
like India is regulated to the extent that the prices are not market 
determined and are fixed by the regulators. Moreover each state 
in  India  has  its  own  mechanism  on  effecting  access  to  open 
access. This has led to a gap in meeting our renewables targets. It 
can be said that it will take a few years before the market matures. 

The mainstay of accessing RE for open access consumers like 
us  has  been  through  direct  power  purchase  agreement  from 
producers in select states. In order to avoid double accounting, 
we have taken adequate steps by including non-tradability of

Absolute Emissions: The dashboard below provides a summary 
of our Global and India GHG emissions for Office spaces - from 
Scope 1 (emission from direct energy consumption, like fuel) 
and Scope 2 (emissions from purchased electricity). The figures 
are net emissions for all years, after considering zero emissions 
for  renewable  energy  procured. The  absolute  Scope  1  and  2  
emissions  for  2014-15  has  increased  by  around  5%  primarily 
due to increase in data center energy consumption by around 
11 Mn units.

The overall emissions across all scopes is 406855 tons. This does not include conveyance claims and some other minor scope 3 
heads.	Within	this,	the	three	big	contributors	to	our	GHG	emissions	are:	Electricity	–	Purchased	and	Generated	(34%),	Business	Travel	
(21%) and Employee Commute (15%).

Business Travel: The  IT  services  outsourcing  model  requires 
frequent travel to customer locations, mainly overseas, across the 
delivery	life	cycle	and	contributes	to	around	1/4th	of	our	overall	
emissions footprint. This includes air, bus, train, local conveyance 
and	hotel	stays.	Policies	on	usage	of	different	modes	of	travel	
based on distance and time taken, need based travel approval 
and  shift  towards  processes  which  enable  travel  planning 
by  employees  themselves  are  some  of  the  cost  and  process 
optimization measures implemented over past few years. 

Over the past few years, we have taken steps to facilitate a shift 
towards  improved  access  to  public  transport  for  employees 
(buses, commuter trains), carpooling, apart from encouraging 
cycling  to  work  through  an  active  cycling  community  in  the 
organization.    IT  led  soft  infrastructure  enablers  like  anytime 
direct connectivity access to office intranet applications, secure 
personal	device	connectivity	through	the	BYOD	initiative	(Bring	
Your	 Own	 Devices)	 are	 steps	 in	 enabling	 more	 flexible	 work	
place options.

Employee  Commute:  Employees  have  various  choices  for 
commuting  informed  primarily  by  distance,  flexibility,  work 
timings, costs, city infrastructure and connectivity in the case 
of group or public transport. In addition to company arranged 
transport  (51%),  employees  utilize  public  transport  (~35%), 
with owned cars and two wheelers accounting for the balance.   

Emissions during product use and end of life treatment of sold 
products: Wipro ceased its hardware manufacturing business in 
2013. The number of units being sold is negligible and hence 
going forward in-use emissions from products sold will not be 
applicable.

Water Efficiency and Responsible Use

At Wipro, we view water from the three inter-related lens of 
Conservation,  Responsibility  and  Security;  our  articulated 
goals are therefore predicated on these three dimensions.

•	 Water	Efficiency - Improve water efficiency (fresh water 
use per employee) by 5% year on year

•	 Water	 Responsibility  - To  ensure  responsible  water 
management  in  proximate  communities,  especially  in 
locations that are prone to water scarcity

•	 Water	 Security	 -  Recognizing  water  availability  as  a 
business risk, to proactively assess and plan for the water 
security of the organization in a manner that is congruent 
with other two goals.

Freshwater recycling and efficiency: The per employee water 
consumption for the reporting year is 1.387 m3 per month as 
compared to 1.46 in 2013-14, an improvement of around 7.6%. 
We  recycle  959620  m3  of  water  in  24  of  our  major  locations, 
(888828	 in	 2013-14)	 using	 Sewage	Treatment	 Plants	 (STPs),	
which  represents  35%  (32%  in  2013-14)  of  the  total  water 
consumed. The percentage of this recycled water as a percentage 
of  freshwater  extracted  is  around  54%.   The  reduction  in 
freshwater consumption has been primarily through demand 
side optimization, reduction in pipeline leakages and increasing 
water governance by building user awareness and involvement 
of water plumbers.   

We  launched  a  program  in  2013  with  the  aim  to  minimize 
freshwater consumption by 20% over the following two years 
through	an	integrated	approach:

1)  Implement  Standard  metering  infrastructure  and 
procedures across campuses

Builders

2)  Demand side optimization (improving efficiency through 
flow restrictors across campuses and arresting leakages),

3)   Improving recycling levels through ultra-filtration using it 
for other non-contact purposes

Local Citizen 
Groups

4)  Integrating  rain  water  harvesting  into  the  consumption 
side water cycle of the campus.

Sourcing  of Water:   Water  is  withdrawn  from  four  sources  - 
ground water, municipal water supplies, private purchase and 
harvested rain water – with the first two sources accounting for 
nearly 61% of the sourced water.  The majority of the balance 39% 
is from private sources near our operational facilities. The water 
supplied by the municipal bodies and the industrial association 
are in turn sourced primarily from river or lake systems. Water 
that is purchased from private sources can be traced to have 
been primarily extracted from ground water. 

Community Water  Programs: Wipro  partners  with  experts 
organizations,  action  groups  and  government  bodies  to 

address issues affecting the communities in the vicinity of our 
organizations.  As  part  of  our  Responsible Water  program,  we 
aim to create a community centered participatory approach for 
management of ground water.

Participatory	 Aquifer	 Mapping	 (PAQM):  Ground  water  is  a 
primary source of water in Bengaluru, especially for peripheral 
areas of the city which are not connected to the city municipal 
supply (BWSSB).  Around 40% of total water requirement of the 
city is met through ground water, which is largely unregulated. 
It is a scarce resource and many areas including the South east 
areas (Electronics City- Sarjapur-Bellandur-Whitefield corridor) 
are severely stressed. There is a high reliance on private supply 
(tanker) of water, the source of which is again mostly ground 
water.  Ground  water  being  a  shared  common  pool  resource, 
the  governance  choices  are  complex  –  from  unregulated  to 
centralised responses to community centered management.

program extends for approximately 35 square kilometers around 
our corporate campus in Bangalore.

Pollution and Waste Management 

Our  goals  for  pollution  and  waste  management  are  the 
following.

•	 100%	of	organic	waste	to	be	handled	in-house	at	owned	
locations by end of 2014-15 

•	 100%	of	paper,	cardboard,	hazardous	and	e-waste,	mixed	
metals/scrap	and	plastics	to	be	recycled/	handled	as	per	
approved methods by end of 2014-15.

•	 Reduce	Mixed	solid	waste	intensity	to	half	by	2017	(3	
year target) as compared to 2013-14

•	 Reduce	landfill	intensity	to	half	by	2017	(3	year	target)	
as compared to 2013-14

Pollution	of	air and water poses one of the most serious threats 
to  community  health  and  welfare.  Our  waste  management 
strategies  are  centered  on  either  (i)  recycling  the  waste  for 
further use or (ii) arranging for safe disposal. To operationalize 
our strategy, we follow robust processes of segregating waste 
into  organic,  inorganic,  e-waste,  hazardous,  packaging,  and 
biomedical and other categories, which is then either recycled 
in-house or through outsourced vendor arrangements.

90% of the total solid waste of 4562 tons generated from our IT 
India operations is reused or recycled –through both, in-house 
recycling  units  and  through  authorized  vendor  tie-ups.   The 
balance,  which  is  largely  soiled  tissue  and  mixed  solid  waste 
and  Mixed  scrap  (MSW)  is  landfilled.  Our  plan  is  to  reduce 
MSW generation at source and further drive segregation into 
recyclable organic-inorganics to increase diversion from landfills.

We  are  also  piloting  recycling  options  for  difficult  categories 
like Thermocol  and  construction  debris. The  comprehensive 
external waste assessment we conducted across our locations 
for electronic waste and solid waste streams pointed to areas of 
improvement in governance and traceability of waste streams 
across the recycler ecosystem. We would work with our partners 
and vendors in driving better practices and behaviours keeping 
in mind both human and ecological impacts of any changes.

supported by our partners BIOME and ACWADAM collected 
data	from	more	than	100	borewells	and	STP’s	in	the	area.

b)	 Building	 citizen	 awareness	 on	 the	 program:	 	Through	
well-coordinated	 visits	 to	 Lakes,	 STP’s	 and	 participation	 in	
community  lake  events,  including  in  campus  programs  we 
have been able to generate interest with citizen groups.

c)  Completed the first interpretation of the data to arrive at 3D 
maps, 2D contour maps and hydrogeological sections depict 
possibilities in visualization and citizen engagement.  

d)  Dialogues  among  citizens,  conservation  groups,  urban 
local	bodies	(like	BWSSB	and	KSPCB),	research	organizations,	
educational  institutes  through  sharing  of  learnings  and 
facilitating/	evaluating	pilots.

Biodiversity

As  an  organization  with  large  campuses  in  urban  settings, 
we are acutely conscious of our responsibility towards urban 
diversity and have set for ourselves the following goals. 

•	 To	convert	five	of	our	existing	campuses	to	biodiversity	
zones by 2017

•	 All	new	campuses	will	incorporate	biodiversity	principles	
into their design

In our approach towards campus biodiversity, our program takes 
an integrated approach towards the contribution in reducing 
energy  and  carbon  intensity  and  improving  water  retention 
and harvesting.

The first stage of our campus biodiversity project - the butterfly 
park  –  was  completed  in  March  2013. The  park  is  witness  to 
hundreds of migratory butterflies who stop over in the park for 
nearly a month in their 400 Km pre monsoon annual migration 
from western to the Eastern Ghats in India.   The second phase 
of the project, a ~3 acre Wetland park, is currently underway and 
expected to be completed in 2015. 

We have started work on biodiversity retrofit projects at our two 
campuses	in	Pune	with	a	baseline	assessment	of	flora	and	fauna	
biodiversity. This project envisages thematic gardens – aesthetic 
and palm garden, spring garden, Ficus garden, spice and fruit 
garden – through plantations of native spaces specific to the 
local geography. For one the pune campuses, the total number 
of native species has nearly trebled from 49 to 167 in the first year. 

The Electronics City biodiversity project featured as case study 
in	a	CII	publication	released	at	Conference	of	Parties	at	Korea.	
Wipro is one of the five member companies in India of “Leaders 
for  Nature  (LFN)”,  a  joint  initiative  of  IUCN,  Confederation  of 
Indian Industries (CII), Hivos, and Wildlife Trust of India (WTI). 

In  all  these  programs  we  work  closely  with  expert  partners 
in  biodiversity,  conser vation,  ecological  design  and 
communications.  Building  employee  connect  through  expert 
talks, workshops and field visits to community research centers 
in forests, is a critical aspect of the program. Industry workshops

Wipro LimitedCase Study - Wipro’s Natural Capital Valuation

Natural capital can be defined as the world’s stocks of natural resources which make human life possible. Businesses rely on this 
natural capital to produce goods and deliver services. They depend on natural non-renewable resources (for example, fossil fuels 
and minerals) as well as natural renewable ecosystem goods and services (for example, freshwater and pollination). Businesses 
also rely on natural capital for its ability to absorb by-products of production such as pollution and water. Business extraction 
and production activities can damage natural capital with long term economic and social consequences.

These economic and social consequences manifest themselves as physical, regulatory and reputational risks for companies. One 
of the most useful ways for companies to account for these risks is to quantify and value the environmental impacts generated 
across their value chains in monetary terms.

Traditional ‘single parameter’ environmental metrics such as cubic meters of water or hectares of land provide an indication 
of the scale of dependency on ecosystem goods and services or environmental impacts. However, they often fail to identify 
optimization opportunities for business. Natural capital valuation, on the other hand, provides a deeper insight because it factors 
scale alongside critical environmental parameters such as regional water scarcity and the ecosystem services provided by land.

There are several global and country led projects underway which aim to develop environmental accounts and integrate them 
with	traditional	national	accounts	(GDP)	including	India.	UNPRI,	in	2010,	estimated	the	environmental	costs	due	to	activities	of	
top   3000 companies at US$ 6 Trillion per year. The Natural Capital Coalition (NCC), for example, is developing a Natural Capital 
Protocol	to	provide	a	standardized	approach	to	natural	capital	accounting	and	valuation	for	businesses.

Wipro, in association with Trucost, completed its first natural capital valuation exercise for the previous financial year 2013-14. The 
valuation for 2014-15 will be completed by Aug 2015 – however it is unlikely to be significantly different. The valuation looks at 
our	global	operational	footprint	-	from	energy	related	emissions,	water	consumption,	air/water	pollution,	waste	generation	and,	
land use change, business travel, employee commute – as well as from the embedded natural capital in all goods and services 
that we procure from our supply chain. The natural capital embedded in goods and services is primarily based on valuation 
methodology that is based on Trucost’s econometric Input-Output model which takes in spend across different sub-categories 
of procurement. Monetization of impacts is based on emerging models and a selection of global and local factors - hence certain 
assumptions and accounting rules are inherent to the exercise. The largest contributions came from GHG emissions (50%), water 
abstraction (18%) and air pollution (19%). The operational value chain stage accounted for 38% of Wipro’s total environmental 
cost. From a geography perspective, as expected, India accounts for 86% of the overall environmental cost. For details of the 
study refer to www.wiprosustainabilityreport.com/natural-capital-valuation/.

For Wipro, this study provides useful indicators to understand impacts and assess the value of our environmental programs. For 
external stakeholders like customers and analysts, these data points provide a completely transparent full life-cycle understanding 
of our environmental footprint.

In	this	section	we	focus	on	our	engagement	with	two	major	stakeholders	in	our	value	chain:	suppliers	and	customers.		We	realize	that	
the impacts of our business do not end within our boundaries, but are felt across the ecosystem and stakeholders in the value chain.

Supply chain Sustainability

Management Approach:

The	supply	chain	sustainability	program	of	Wipro	rests	on	four	pillars:	ethical,	ecological,	responsible	and	local.	Encompassing	
these pillars are governance and management frameworks, which help in communicating our expectations, build awareness 
and set us on a path of continuous improvement.

Performance Update

Supplier Engagement Program: As the first step in our Supply 
Chain  Engagement  program,  it  is  now  made  mandatory  for 
the suppliers to accept and sign the supplier code of conduct 
(SCOC). Apart from communicating key requirements in business 
practices,  environmental  and  social  aspects  to  the  suppliers 
through  SCOC,  Supplier  meet  with  about  150  key  Suppliers 
of Wipro  (IT  business)  was  organized  for  the  second  time  in 
August, 2014. A Supplier Awards program was also instituted 
this financial year as part of Supplier Meet to recognize the key 
contributions  made  by  Suppliers.  A  total  of  12  awards  across 
multiple categories of awards based on supplier categories such 
as Telecom,  IT,  Facilities,  Business  support  services  as  well  as 
special category awards for innovation, sustainability, diversity 
were given. 

We  have  identified  material  issues  across  main  procurement 
categories – through desk based study conducted in 2013 as 
well as a few internal and external audits over past two years. 
Our focus is on human rights and labour practices and regulatory 
compliance.  Our  supplier  engagement  program  integrates  a 
program  of  continuing  evaluation,  capacity  building  and  risk 
management. We expect these steps to encourage responsible 
behaviour from our partners. 

We completed two independent audits which looked at security 
service providers, waste recyclers and other facility management 
service providers. We also piloted food safety audits at two of 
our campuses. A dedicated vendor helpdesk handles supplier 
queries on payment issues, policy clarifications and provides the 
initial contact for grievance redressal. Helpdesk received a total 
of  3152  of  vendor  queries  since  January  2015,  which  reflects 

the reach and effectiveness of our initiative. The feedback from 
our vendors received through this initiative helped us improve 
our processes and initiate new steps like automation of sharing 
payment  advices,  periodical  validation  of  vendor  credential 
in our database as well as exchange of ideas between critical 
vendors and our organization on possible process improvements 
to ensure smooth interactions.

Our organization wide multi-lingual Ombuds process is available 
24x7  (phone  and  internet  enabled)  for  our  Suppliers  and 
Contractors. While a good proportion of ombuds process cases 
are anonymous, based on self-disclosure, we know that there 
were 33 complaints reported by suppliers during the year. There 
was an instance of serious supplier breach of our code of conduct 
as a result four vendors have been blacklisted. There have been 
no instances related to anti-trust in the reporting period across 
our business divisions.

Supplier  Diversity:  Wipro  is  an  Equal  Opportunity  employer 
and strongly advocates the same through its supply chain by 
encouraging  supplier  diversity.    Qualified  enterprises  owned 
by  person  with  disability,  women  or  member  of  minority 
communities are identified and engaged with.  Diversity supplier 
spend contributes to 5.2% of total central procurement tracked 
spend for India operations. Diversity classification is based on 
supplier self-disclosure and is not verified.

Local Procurement: Wipro encourages sourcing from the local 
economy. At an aggregate level, nearly 79% of our suppliers are 
based in India; by value 71% of the procurement for the year 
was from India based suppliers. Local sourcing reduces costs, 
provides local employment benefits and reduced environmental 
footprint in sourcing.

Management Approach:

Our  social  transformation  initiatives  are  now  more  than  a 
decade old. Over the years, our approach has been to engage 
in critical social issues with sensitivity, rigor and responsibility. 
Education  and  Community  Care  are  the  two  areas  that  we 
decided focus on when we started twelve years back.  The 
reasons  for  this  deliberate  set  of  choices  have  the  same 
compelling validity today as they had then. 

•	 Education	 is	 probably	 the	 most	 important	 catalyst	 of	
social development which can bring about change that is 
truly sustainable and durable over the long term; and 

It	is	a	fundamental	responsibility	and	tenet	of	corporate	
•	
citizenship that every business should engage deeply with 
its proximate communities and to try to address some of 
their biggest challenges

Measuring  outcomes  in  social  programs:  In  the  sections 
below,  we  have  summarized  work  in  different  programs  in 
terms of Input, Output and Outcome. This is the first attempt at 
representing our work using such a framework. Our inputs to the 
program and the outputs from it have been easier to discern. 
Deriving the outcomes has been more challenging. We have tried 
to assess the outcomes at two levels – the project or intervention 
level and at the level of the partner organization. The outcomes 
have been drawn from our interactions with the field, project 
reviews with partners and our partners’ own observations and 
records from the field. These have not been assessed or verified 

independently. In future we aim to do this as well as qualify the 
long term impacts of some of our longer running programs.

CSR Spend:

The  CSR  spend  disclosed  in  Director’s  Report  is  of    `  1327.04 
Mn. We  believe  that  our  community  engagement  initiatives 
should cover all our significant areas of operations. The Science 
Education	 Fellowship	 (SEF)	 Program,	 an	 integral	 part	 of	 our	
community and education program,  engages with and aims to 
build teaching capacities in the disadvantaged communities of 
three cities in the U.S. For more information on this programme, 
refer	to	Page	No.	124.	The	spend	on	SEF	program	for	2014-15	
was ` 79.1 Mn. This amount is not accounted in the CSR Report 
(Page:	 66)	 as	 the	 CSR	 guidelines	 in	 the	 Companies	 Act	 2013	
does not allow reporting of spend in countries outside India. 
Wipro’s actual spend on CSR initiatives for 2014-15, including 
this,  amounts to ` 1406.14 Mn.

Wipro Applying Thought in Schools (WATIS) 

This financial year, Wipro Applying Thought in Schools (WATIS) 
widened  the  scope  of  our  programme  to  new  domains 
like  primary  school  mathematics  and  integrated  learning 
programmes for rural youth.  Also extended our reach to newer 
geographies  through  6  new  partnerships  in  the  North-East, 
Maharashtra,	Kerala,	Karnataka,	Punjab	and	Meghalaya.	Another	
significant  step  was  the  program  focused  on  education  for 
children with disabilities which began this year with the objective 
to establish models of inclusive education to include children 
with disabilities into mainstream education.

WATIS  is  a  social  initiative  working  on  building  capacities  in 
school  education  reform  in  India. The  intent  is  to  contribute 
towards systemic improvement of the Indian school education 
system.  Our  key  strategy  has  been  organizational  capability 
building of civil society organizations across the country, in order 
to  have  a  multiplier  effect  on  education  in  India. We  partner 
with civil society organizations and support them to develop 
and  enhance  their  capacity  in  working  for  systemic  reform 
in  education. We  support  organizations  through  project  and 
programmatic grants to develop and pilot innovative ideas and 
practices and also to work with various stakeholders to build 
capacity in the system, to implement these ideas and further 
educational reform across different contexts and geographies 
in the country. 

Over the past 14 years, we have associated with 60 organizations 
at  different  levels  and  worked  closely  with  35  organizations. 
Our work with them has primarily been through 67 educational 
projects,  involving  over  2300  schools  and  13,250  educators 
across 17 states reaching out to about 1 million students. 

Wipro Science Education Fellowship 

Program in the U.S.A.

Wipro	Science	Education	Fellowship	Program	launched	in	March	
2013  is  focused  on  improving  Science  and  Math  education 
in  schools  primarily  serving  disadvantaged  communities  in 
US cities. The program is currently launched in Chicago, New 
Jersey,	New	York	and	Boston	in	partnership	with	Michigan	State	
University (MSU) and University of Massachusetts (UMass). The 
goal of the two year capacity development program is to improve 
teaching capacity and promote science, technology, engineering 
and math (STEM) education in their respective schools. 

The process of selection of teachers for the Chicago program 
began  in  Q1  of  2014. The  selected  teachers  started  training 
under the fellowship for a year which will be followed by another 
year of follow-up sessions.  37 teachers (19 from NJ and 18 from 
Boston) from the first cohort of the Boston program which began 
in March 2013 have successfully completed their 1 year training 
and	 have	 worked	 on	 their	‘Growth	 Plan	 Systems’	 with	 their	
UMass advisors. Cohort 2 teachers from New Jersey and Boston 
and	 Cohort	 1	 teachers	 from	 New	York	 underwent	 intensive	
training  through  classroom  discussions  and  presentations, 
monthly Vertical Collaborative Coaching and Learning in Science 
meetings, periodic full-day workshops, retreats etc. 

Earthian - The Sustainability Program for 

Schools and Colleges 

Earthian Awards: In the 2014 – 2015 edition of earthian- the 
annual	 Sustainability	 Program	 for	 Schools	 and	 Colleges,	 we	
reached out to more than 10000 schools and college and over 
350 schools and 170 colleges participated in the event. Owing 
to our outreach initiatives, this edition became a highly inclusive 
program  with  massive  participation  and  even  winners  from 
rural and semi-rural India. The 10 best entries from schools and 

124

colleges  each  were  selected  by  an  eminent  jury  with  varied 
experience in academia, research and civil society organization 
and were presented with awards at the earthian award event 
in February 2015.

CEP  (Continuous  Engagement  Program):  The  10  earthian 
winning schools and colleges from the earlier 2013-14 edition 
have	been	engaged	in	the	Continuous	Engagement	Program

workshops were organized under Mission10X programme. Out 
of  the  54  Mission10X Technology  Learning  Centers  (MTLCs) 
operational in 12 states, 10 were established last year. Overall 
27,482 Engineering College Faculty have been trained and 1,300 
colleges across the 29 states were covered through Mission10X 
interventions.

Mission10X is a not-for-profit initiative of Wipro Limited which 
was started on 5th Sept 2007 towards building the employability 
skills of engineering students by training engineering college 
teachers. The  first  phase  of  Mission10X  focused  on  training 
teachers	on	Pedagogy	while	the	second	phase	has	focused	on	
“SMALLER	 and	 DEEPER	 Engagement”	 philosophy	 where	 a	 set	
of  selected  Engineering  colleges  have  been  given  a  deeper

21st Century skills amongst the learners who are predominantly 
hired by the IT industry. The following three essential attributes of 
a	‘Graduate	engineer’	are	covered	in	all	Mission10X	interventions:

•	 Communication:	Ability	to	communicate	with	others	for	
shared understanding in technical, behavioral, logistical and 
practical concern.

and effective delivery systems. 

Community Care - Wipro Cares  

Wipro Cares is a program primarily focusing on developmental 
challenges  faced  by  communities  in  the  domain  of  primary 
health care, education, environment and disaster rehabilitation. 
The communities we work with our largely proximate to where 
Wipro has its presence.

2014-15 was an exciting year for Wipro Cares as we grew our 
number  of  projects  as  well  as  added  disability  as  an  added 
domain of engagement. Our number of projects grew close to 
three folds, from 11 in 2013-14 to 29 in 2014-15. Out of the 29 
projects, five were projects started under the ‘disability’ domain.

Primary Healthcare: Our primary health care projects typically 
provide quality preventive and curative health care services to 
underserved  communities. Through  seven  of  our  health  care 
projects,  covering  75  villages  across  Maharashtra,  Karnataka, 
Andhra	 Pradesh	 &	 Uttarakhand	 we	 are	 providing	 more	 than	
75000  people  access  to  primary  health  care.    Apart  from 
providing  regular  curative  services  ,the  emphasis  of  these 
projects  are  to  build  the  capacities  of  the  communities  to 
handle their primary health care needs, also leverage existing 
government  infrastructure and schemes as a part of their health 
rights. Out of the seven health care projects, two new projects 
that were started in 2014-15 were in Haridwar in Uttarakhand 
and Aurangabad in Maharashtra. 

Education:  The  education  projects  continued  to  provide 
educational opportunities to underprivileged children, typically 
children who are most marginalized due to their socio-economic 
status, for example children of migrant laborers. More than 50000 
children benefited from the ten education projects in the cities 
of	Pune,	Hyderabad,	Kolkata,	Mumbai	and	Chennai.		Out	of	the	
ten projects, six were added in 2014-15. 

Disability:  In 2014, we included an additional theme of disability. 
Through our ‘Education of children with disability’ projects, we 
supported  the  educational  and  rehabilitative  needs  of  1350 
underprivileged children with disabilities through five projects 
in	the	cities	of	Bangalore,	Pune,	Jaipur	and	Hyderabad.	Under	
disability,  our  focus  is  on  early  intervention  and  inclusive 
education to ensure that children with disabilities have access 
to quality education and the opportunity to lead a life of dignity.

livelihood  to  around  80  farmers.  In  2014  we  also  added  the 
aspect of adult literacy as a part of the social forestry project in 
rural Tamil Nadu. Another addition in 2014 was the inclusion of 
solid waste management as a sub theme under the thematic 
domain of Environment. We are working on providing social and 
nutrition security to waste workers along with upgrading their 
skills to assist them in augmenting their livelihood and live a life 
of dignity. Our first project under the ‘solid waste management’ 
sub theme was started in Bangalore in 2014. 

Disaster Rehabilitation: Through the years, we have supported 
the causes of communities affected by Karnataka Floods, Bihar 
Floods,	 Japan	Tsunami,	 Hurricane	 Sandy	 and	 the	 Philippines	
Cyclone.  In  2014-15  we  supported  communities  affected  by 
the  Uttarakhand  Floods  and  the  Odisha  Cyclone  in  2013.  In 
Uttarakhand we initiated a project to work with 1000 families 
on  exploring  alternative  modes  of  livelihood  to  reduce  their 
economic dependence on tourism and increase their resilience 
as a community. In Odisha, we restored the livelihood of 250 
families of the fishermen community by providing them fishing 
nets and increasing their awareness on various existing social 
security schemes. These 250 families were from 15 villages of five 
Gram	Panchayats	in	Polasara	Block	of	Ganjam	District.	

Employee Engagement: Engaging employees continued to be 
an integral part of Wipro Cares. We encouraged employees to 
volunteer with our partners, acting thus as catalysts in bringing 
about  positive  change  and  also  learning  in  the  process. We 
currently  have  15  volunteering  chapters,  seven  in  India  and 
nine overseas. Wipro Cares organized a blood donation drive 
for thallasaemics where 3256 units of blood were collected. We 
also continued celebrating ‘Joy of Giving @ Wipro, 2014’ across 
WT,	WI,	WBPS,	WIN,	WCCLG	in	11	locations	in	India	and	UAE.

Advocacy and Outreach

Management Approach:

Given  the  fundamental  axiom  that  sustainability  is  about 
maximizing  social  and  environmental ‘good’,  it  requires  an 
engagement template that emphasizes informed advocacy 
of  the  underlying  issues  amongst  all  stakeholders.  Each 
stakeholder  –  Business,  Government,  Academia,  and  Civil 
Society  –  brings  a  dynamic  and  energy  to  the  table  that  is 
unique and complementary. We think that industry’s role must 
go beyond its own boundaries and should be one that seeks 
to vigorously promote advocacy of sustainability challenges. 
In doing so, the conscious emphasis must be on the difficult 
and the long term in preference to the easy and the short term.

Our areas of focus on policy and advocacy have centered on 
Water, Energy and Climate Change, e-Waste, Education and 
Diversity. We work through industry platforms like CII, NASSCOM 
as well as with research partners who carry expertise in these  
domains.

Social Forestry: Our project in social forestry has helped plant 
more  than  a  lakh  trees,  and  has  at  the  same  time  provided 

Our  primary  identified  stakeholders  for  public  policy  and 
advocacy are

Change, Water,  Biodiversity,  Community  Education,  Health

along  with  government  policy  and  business  engagement. 
NGOs  and  academic  institutions,  by  combining  the  right 
blend of field work and academic rigor can generate valuable 
insights  that  can  inform  the  work  of  practitioners,  policy 
makers  and  industry  professionals.  Illustrative  examples  of 
such	organizations	that	we	work	with	are	:	Carbon	Disclosure	
Project	in	the	area	of	Climate	Change,	BIOME	and	ACWADAM	
in the area of Water, ATREE  and IUCN ( India chapter) in the 
areas of Biodiversity , and our network of nearly 30 education 
partners across the country.

The table below provides a summary of our major stakeholder engagements in advocacy and outreach

Domain

Brief highlights

Energy: (i) In partnership with Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and IIM Bangalore, a research 
study was done on the role of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector in 
combating climate change. The study report was released in October 2014

(ii) As a member of the TERI-BCSD	(	Business	Council	for	Sustainable	Development) India 
program, we participated in the program track on Energy Efficiency that seeks to advance best 
practices on energy management and efficiency in different industry sectors

Water  continued  to  be  a  major  area  of  collaborative  focus  for  us  in  2014-15. The  two 
major  advocacy  platforms  that  we  have  been  deeply  involved  in  are  summarized  below 
(i) Advancing the agenda of the Karnataka State Water Network (KSWN) along with the CII 
Karnataka chapter. The KSWN brings together stakeholders from government, academia, civil 
society and business to address the most pressing issues in water in Bangalore and surrounding 
areas.  Five  area-wise  clusters  were  formed  with  specific  action  plans  drawn  up  for  each 
(ii)The Responsible Water program seeks to address the pressing issue of ground water in the 
Sarjapur area in Bangalore. It does this through a combination of scientific hydrogeology and 
the involvement several citizen groups  as part of a unique decentralized governance framework

Biodiversity:  Our participation in advocacy on biodiversity issues was through two national 
levels forums – the CII-India Business for Biodiversity Initiative (IBBI) and the Leaders for Nature 
program from the India chapter of IUCN. Our case study was featured in the IBBI publication that 
was	released	at	the	COP	on	Biodiversity	in	Korea	in	October	2014,	Along	with	IUCN,	we	hosted	
an industry interaction on the Kolkata wetlands in our Kolkata center. A similar interaction with 
civil society was hosted at our Bangalore campus

Waste Management: In collaboration with InfoActiv, an Australia based NGO organization 
that focuses on e-Waste, we helped create a platform in the Electronic City Industrial area in 
Bangalore, India. This zone hosts a significant majority of IT companies and is therefore a source 
of sizable amounts of e-Waste. The platform will help align common focus areas, opportunities 
and streamline the processes involved in the management of e-Waste from bulk consumers. 
Apart from this, we continued to be part of the sub-committee on ‘Waste’ in the CII National 
Environment Committee.

Horizontal areas in 
Sustainability and CSR

We  continued  to  strengthen  our  participation  in  advocacy  on  the  cause  of  corporate 
sustainability as a whole 

As Co-Chair of the CII-GBC Greenco forum (Bangalore chapter), the goal is to drive the adoption 
of the ‘Greenco’ framework by industry at large in Bangalore and surrounding areas. The Greenco 
framework encourages companies to establish a multi-dimensional framework of ecological 
sustainability	that	spans	the	areas	of	Energy,	Water,	Waste,	Biodiversity	and	Product	Stewardship.	

We continued to actively participate in the debate around the CSR provisions of the Companies 
Act 2013. Our primary position has been that CSR as a mandate may not be the most effective 
means of getting industry to engage on larger social issues. We also believe that business 
sustainability plays a critical role in moving the needle forward and must be included as part 
of the provisions of the CSR rules. Third, as a global corporate citizen, we think that CSR must 
include community programs of all the countries that a company operates in and should not 
be restricted to India

We  supported  a  multi-state  comparative  study  which  is  providing  insights  into  how  the 
textbook markets operate in India; the outcomes of this study are expected to inform later 
advocacy efforts.

Our work with partner organizations such as EZ Vidya to develop capacity in understanding and 
supporting schools to do Continuous and Comprehensive Assessment (CCE) and SeasonWatch, 
a national citizen science initiative, were covered in popular media

School Education

Our social science program with Vikramshila was lauded as an exemplar way of imparting life 
skills at a joint meeting organized by Jadavpur University and UNICEF

The	proceedings	of	the	14th	annual	Partners’	Forum	on	the	topic	of	‘Textbooks	and	Education’	
and	of	the	13th	Partners’	Forum	on	‘Assessments	and	School	Education’	have	been	published	
& distributed. Summary videos of Forum sessions were also disseminated online through a 
YouTube	channel

Kamala Mukunda’s acclaimed book on child learning, ‘What did you ask at School Today’, was 
brought  out  in  Hindi  by  Eklavya  with  our  support. The  books  has  been  distributed  widely 
among educational NGOs and also to over 500 District Institutes of Education and Training 
(DIETs) across the country. 

earthian, Wipro’s flagship program in sustainability education for schools and colleges, tries 
to catalyze advocacy on sustainability learning  among young students across the country

The	scale	of	earthian’s	outreach	is	significant:	over	a	four	year	period	of	2010-2014,	the	outreach	
has been to 3000 schools, 15000 students and 3500 educators,90000 Facebook fans, 45000

Sustainability Literacy and 
Education

We co-hosted – along with IIM Bangalore and the Kenan Flagler School of Business, University 
of North Carolina – a national level symposium on ‘Sustainability in Management Education’. The 
meet was attended by faculty from more than 15 premier B-Schools from across the country

We	also	hosted	a	Business	Plan	competition	on	‘Sustainable	Public	Transport	in	Bangalore’	as	
part of IIM-Bangalore’s annual student-led event ‘Eximius’

Annual Report 2014-15ASSURANCE STATEMENT

INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION STATEMENT ON BUSINESS RESPONSIBILITY REPORT

Introduction

DNV	GL,	represented	by	DNV	GL	Business	Assurance	India	Private	Limited,	has	been	commissioned	by	the	management	of	Wipro	Limited	(‘Wipro’	or	‘the	Company’)	to	
carry out an independent assurance engagement on the Business Responsibility Report (‘BRR’ or ‘the Report’) to be published along with its Annual Report 2014–15 in 
its printed format.  This assurance engagement has been conducted to verify the BRR prepared as per Clause 55 of the Equity Listing Agreement issued by the Securities 
and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), covering the nine principles enunciated in the ‘National Voluntary Guidelines on Social, Environmental and Economic Responsibilities 
of Business’ (NVG) framed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), Government of India. 

The  intended  users  of  this  assurance  statement  are  the  management  of  the  Company  and  readers  of  the  Report. The  management  of Wipro  is  responsible  for  all 
information provided in the Report as well as the processes for collecting, analysing and reporting the information. DNV GL’s responsibility regarding this verification is 
to the Company only and in accordance with the agreed scope of work. The assurance engagement is based on the assumption that the data and information provided 
to us is complete and true. The verification was conducted by a multidisciplinary team of qualified and experienced assurance professionals during June 2015, for the 
year of activities covered in the Report, i.e. 1st April 2014 to 31st March 2015.

Scope, Boundary  and Limitations of Assurance  
The scope of work agreed upon with Wipro includes a moderate level of verification of the contents of the BRR including disclosures against nine principles of the 
NVG, and reported in the Annual Report 2014-15 i.e. review of the disclosures - policies, initiatives, practices and performance described in the Report as well as 
references made in the Report.

The	reporting	boundary	covers	Wipro’s	IT	business,	that	is,	Wipro	Infotech,	Wipro	Technologies,	Wipro	BPS	(Business	Process	Services)	and	Wipro	Eco	Energy	services.	

During	the	verification	process,	there	were	no	limitations	encountered	on	the	agreed	scope	for	the	engagement;	however,	the	financial	figures/data	disclosed	in	this	
Report is based on the financial data audited by the statutory auditors, and reported in the Company’s Annual Report 2014-15. No external stakeholders were interviewed 
as part of this assurance engagement. Verification of data was was limited to review of aggregated data presented at the corporate office.

Methodology 
This	assurance	engagement	was	planned	and	carried	out	in	accordance	with	VeriSustain	(DNV	GL	Protocol	for	Verification	of	Sustainability	Reporting).	The	Report	has	
been	evaluated	against	the	following	criteria:	

•	 Moderate	level	of	assurance,	as	set	out	in	VeriSustain; 
•	 Alignment	of	the	BRR	to	the	NVG	principles	and	related	BRR	reporting	requirements	of	SEBI;

As part of the engagement, we have verified the statements and claims made in the Report and assessed the robustness of the underlying data aggregation, information 
flow	and	controls.	In	doing	so,	we	have:	

Reviewed	the	Company’s	approach	to	addressing	the	BRR	requirements,	including	NVG	principles; 
Examined	and	reviewed	documents,	data	and	other	information	made	available	by	the	Company;	 
Visited	corporate	office	at	Sarjapur,	Bengaluru	to	conduct	verification;	 

•	
•	
•	
•	 Conducted	interviews	with	key	representatives	including	data	owners	and	decision-makers	of	the	Company;	 
•	
•	

Performed	sample-based	reviews	(for	moderate	level	of	verification)	of	the	mechanisms	for	implementing	the	Company’s	policies,	as	described	in	the	Report; 
Performed	sample-based	checks	of	the	processes	for	generating,	gathering	and	managing	the	quantitative	data	and	qualitative	information	included	in	the		
Report.

Conclusion 
We have evaluated the Report against the reporting principles and framework with respect to materiality, stakeholder inclusiveness, responsiveness, reliability, 
neutrality	and	completeness.	In	our	opinion:

•	
•	
•	

•	

The	Report	aligns	itself	against	the	nine	principles	of	NVG	and	has	fairly	responded	to	the	reporting	framework	related	to	BRR; 
The	qualitative	and	quantitative	data	included	in	the	Report,	were	found	to	be	reliable,	identifiable	and	traceable; 
Report	along	with	the	references	made,	provides	a	fair	description	of	the	initiatives	taken	by	the	Company	from	the	Social,	Environmental	and	Governance			
perspectives;  
The	personnel	responsible	were	able	to	demonstrate	the	origin	and	interpretation	of	data.	

On the basis of our verification methodology and scope of work agreed upon, nothing has come to our attention that would cause us not to believe that this report is 
not materially correct and is not a fair representation of the data and information. 

Opportunities for Improvement 
The following is an excerpt from the observations and opportunities for improvement reported to the management of the Company and are considered for drawing 
our	conclusion	on	the	Report;	however	they	are	generally	consistent	with	the	management’s	objectives:	

•	

The	Company	may	report	sustainability	disclosures	related	to	India	and	other	geo-locations	separately	for	the	benefit	of	stakeholders’	understanding	of	Wipro’s		
sustainability performance. 
The	scope	of	the	internal	audits	related	to	sustainability	could	be	expanded	to	include	social	aspects. 

•	
•	 Certain	policies	required	under	NVG	are	being	evolved	and	it	is	suggested	that	these	policies	may	be	defined	and	communicated	to	further	improve		

•	

completeness of reporting against the policy requirements of the NVG.  
The	Report	may	explicitly	disclose	the	Company’s	position	statement	related	to	policies	against	the	requirements	of	reporting	on	“Principle-wise	(as	per	NVGs)		
BR	Policy/policies”	under	“Section	D:	BR	Information”.

DNV GL’s Competence and Independence 
We are a global provider of sustainability services, with qualified environmental and social assurance specialists working in over 100 countries. We were not involved 
in the preparation of any statements or data included in the Report except for this Verification Statement. DNV GL maintains complete impartiality toward any people 
interviewed.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Members of Wipro Limited
Report on the Financial Statements
We  have  audited  the  accompanying  financial  statements  of 
Wipro Limited(‘the Company’), comprising the balance sheet as 
at March 31, 2015, the statement of profit and loss, the cash flow 
statement for the year then ended,and a summary of significant 
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters 
stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) 
with  respect  to  the  preparation  of  these  financial  statements 
that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial 
performance  and  cash  flows  of  the  Company  in  accordance 
with  the  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  India, 
including  the  Accounting  Standards  specified  under  Section 
133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) 
Rules,  2014. This  responsibility  also  includes  maintenance  of 
adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions 
of  the  Act  for  safeguarding  the  assets  of  the  Company  and 
for  preventing  and  detecting  frauds  and  other  irregularities; 
selection  and  application  of  appropriate  accounting  policies; 
making  judgments  and  estimates  that  are  reasonable  and 
prudent;  and  design,  implementation  and  maintenance  of 
adequate  internal  financial  controls,  that  were  operating 
effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the 
accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation 
of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are 
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  financial 
statements based on our audit.
We  have  taken  into  account  the  provisions  of  the  Act,  the 
accounting  and  auditing  standards  and  matters  which  are 
required to be included in the audit report under the provisions 
of the Act and the Rules made thereunder.
We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  the  Standards 
on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those 
Standards  require  that  we  comply  with  ethical  requirements 
and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance 
about whether the financial statements are free from material 
misstatement.
An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit 
evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the financial 
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s 
judgment,including  the  assessment  of  the  risks  of  material 
misstatement  of  the  financial  statements,  whether  due  to 
fraud  or  error.  In  making  those  risk  assessments,  the  auditor 
considers internal financial control relevant to the Company’s 
preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair 
view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate 
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an 
opinion  on  whether  the  Company  has  in  place  an  adequate 
internal financial controls system over financial reporting and the 
operating effectiveness of such controls. An audit also includes 
evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used 
and  the  reasonableness  of  the  accounting  estimates  made 
by  the  Company’s  Directors,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall 
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient 
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the 
financial statements. 

2.

ANNEXURE TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

Annexure  referred  to  in  paragraph  1  of  our  report  to  the 
members of Wipro Limited (“the Company”) for the year ended 
March 31, 2015. We report that:

(iv) 

(i) 

(a)  The Company has maintained proper records showing 
full  particulars,  including  quantitative  details  and 
situation of fixed assets.

(b)  The Company has a regular programme of physical 
verification  of  its  fixed  assets  by  which  all  fixed 
assets are verified in a phased manner over a period 
of  three  years.  In  our  opinion,  this  periodicity  of 
physical  verification  is  reasonable  having  regard 
to  the  size  of  the  Company  and  the  nature  of  its 
assets.  In  accordance  with  this  program,  certain 
fixed  assets  were  verified  during  the  year  and 
no  material  discrepancies  were  noticed  on  such 
verification.

(ii) 

 (a)  The  inventory,  except  goods-in-transit,  and  stocks 
lying with third parties, has been physically verified 
by the management during the year.  In our opinion, 
the frequency of such verification is reasonable. For 
stocks lying with third parties at the year end, written 
confirmations  have  been  obtained  for  significant 
account balances.

(b)  The  procedures  for  the  physical  verification  of 
inventories  followed  by  the  management  are 
reasonable and adequate in relation to the size of the 
Company and the nature of its business.

(c)  The  Company  is  maintaining  proper  records  of 
inventory. The discrepancies noticed   on verification 
between  the  physical  stocks  and  the  book  records 
were not material.

(iii) 

(a)  The  Company  has  granted,  in  an  earlier  year  an 
interest free loan to a party (wholly owned subsidiary) 
covered in the register maintained under section 189 
of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”).

(b) 

In the case of loan granted to the party listed in the 
register maintained under section 189 of the Act, the 
loan is interest free and the principal amounts, are 
being repaid regularly in accordance with the agreed 
contractual terms.

(c)  There is no overdue amount of more than Rupees one 
lakh in respect of loans granted to any of the parties 
listed in the register maintained under section 189 of 
the Act.

132

In  our  opinion  and  according  to  the  information  and 
explanations  given  to  us,  there  is  an  adequate  internal 
control  system  commensurate  with  the  size  of  the 
Company  and  the  nature  of  its  business  with  regard  to 
purchase of inventories and fixed assets and with regard 
to the sale of goods and services. We have not observed 
any major weakness in the internal control system during 
the course of the audit. 

(v)  The  Company  has  not  accepted  any  deposits  from  the 

public.

(vi)  We have broadly reviewed the books of account relating 
to material, labour and other items of cost maintained by 
the Company prescribed by the Central Government for the 
maintenance of cost records under section 148 (1) of the 
Act and are of the opinion that prima facie, the prescribed 
accounts  and  records  have  been  made  and  maintained.  
However, we have not made a detailed examination of the 
records.

(vii)  (a)  According to the information and explanations given 
to  us  and  on  the  basis  of  our  examination  of  the 
records of the Company, amounts deducted/accrued 
in  the  books  of  account  in  respect  of  undisputed 
statutory dues including Provident Fund, Employees’ 
State  Insurance,  Income-Tax, Wealth Tax,  Sales-Tax, 
Service Tax, Duty of Customs, Duty of Excise, Value 
Added Tax,  Cess  and  other  material  statutory  dues 
have  generally  been  regularly  deposited  during 
the  year  by  the  Company  with  the  appropriate 
authorities.

According to the information and explanations given 
to  us,  no  undisputed  amounts  payable  in  respect 
of  Provident  Fund,  Employees’  State  Insurance, 
Income-Tax, Wealth Tax, Sales-Tax, Service Tax, Duty 
of Customs, Duty of Excise, Value Added Tax, Cess and 
other  material  statutory  dues  were  in  arrears  as  at 
March 31, 2015 for a period of more than six months 
from the date they became payable.

(b)  According  to  the  information  and  explanation 
given to us, there are no disputed amounts payable 
in  respect  of Wealth  tax  and  Cess  which  have  not 
been  deposited  with  the  appropriate  authorities 
on  account  of  any  dispute.  However,  according 
to  information  and  explanations  given  to  us,  the 
following dues of Income tax, Duty of Excise, Duty

2. 

Significant accounting policies

i. 

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The  financial  statements  are  prepared  in  accordance 
with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India 
(GAAP)  under  the  historical  cost  convention  on  the 
accrual  basis,  except  for  certain  financial  instruments 
which are measured on a fair value basis. GAAP comprises 
mandatory  accounting  standards  as  prescribed  under 
Section  133  of  the  Companies  Act,  2013  (‘Act’)  read 
with  Rule  7  of  the  Companies  (Accounts)  Rules,  2014, 
and  the  relevant  provisions  of  the  Companies  Act, 
2013 (“the 2013 Act”) / Companies Act, 1956 (“the 1956 
Act”),  as  applicable,  Accounting  Standards  (‘AS’)  issued 
by  Institute  of  Chartered  Accountants  of  India  (ICAI)  
and  other  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  in 
India.

All  amounts  included  in  the  financial  statements  are 
reported  in  millions  of  Indian  rupees  (`  in  millions) 
except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated. 
Due to rounding off, the numbers presented throughout 
the  document  may  not  add  up  precisely  to  the  totals 
and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute 
figures.

ii. 

Use of estimates

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  requires 
management  to  make  judgments,  estimates  and 
assumptions that affect the application of accounting 
policies  and  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and 
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities as at 
the date of financial statements and reported amounts 
of income and expenses during the year. Estimates and 
underlying  assumptions  are  reviewed  on  an  ongoing 
basis. Revision to accounting estimates is recognised in 
the year in which the estimates are revised and in any 
future year affected.

iv. 

Fixed Asset 

Tangible assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated 
depreciation  and  impairment  loss,  if  any.  Costs  include 
expenditure  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition  of 
the  asset.  Borrowing  costs  directly  attributable  to  the 
construction  or  production  of  qualifying  assets  are 
capitalized as part of the cost.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment 
have  different  useful  lives,  they  are  accounted  for  as 
separate items (major components) of property, plant and 
equipment. Subsequent expenditure relating to property, 
plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable 
that future economic benefits associated with these will 
flow  to  the  Company  and  the  cost  of  the  item  can  be 
measured reliably.

Intangible assets are stated at the consideration paid for 
acquisition less accumulated amortization and impairment 
loss, if any.

Cost of fixed assets not ready for use before the balance 
sheet  date  is  disclosed  as  capital  work-in-progress. 
Advances  paid  towards  the  acquisition  of  fixed  assets 
outstanding  as  of  each  balance  sheet  date  is  disclosed 
under long term loans and advances.

v. 

Investments

Non-current investments are stated at cost less other than 
temporary diminution in the value of such investments, if 
any. Current investments are valued at lower of cost and 
fair value determined by category of investment. The fair 
value  is  determined  using  quoted  market  price/market 
observable information adjusted for cost of disposal. On 
disposal  of  the  investment,  the  difference  between  its 
carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged or 
credited to the statement of profit and loss.

vi. 

Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable 
value,  including  necessary  provision  for  obsolescence. 
Cost is determined using the weighted average method. 
Cost  of  work-in-progress  and  finished  goods  include 
material  cost  and  appropriate  share  of  manufacturing 
overheads.  Cost  of  inventories  comprises  all  costs  of 
purchase,  costs  of  conversion  and  other  costs  incurred 
in bringing the inventories to their present location and 
condition.

vii.  Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions  are  recognised  when  the  Company  has  a 
present obligation as a result of past events, it is probable 
that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the 
obligation,  and  a  reliable  estimate  can  be  made  of  the 
amount of obligation.

A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is 
a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but 
probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where 
there  is  a  possible  obligation  or  a  present  obligation  in 
respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is 
remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

Provision  for  onerous  contracts  is  recognized  when  the 
expected  benefits  to  be  derived  from  the  contract  are 
lower  than  the  unavoidable  cost  of  meeting  the  future 
obligations under the contract.

viii.  Revenue recognition

The  Company  derives  revenue  primarily  from  software 
development,  maintenance  of  software/hardware  and 
related services, business process services, sale of IT and 
other products. 

Services:

 The  Company  recognizes  revenue  when  the  significant 
terms of the arrangement are enforceable, services have 
been delivered and the collectability is reasonably assured. 
The  method  of  recognizing  the  revenues  and  costs 
depends on the nature of the services rendered:

A.   Time and material contracts

Revenues and costs relating to time and material contracts 
are recognized as the related services are rendered.

B.  

Fixed-price contracts

Revenues from fixed-price contracts, including systems 
development  and  integration  contracts  are  recognized 
using  the  “percentage - of- completion”  method. 
Percentage  of  completion  is  determined  based  on 
project  costs  incurred  to  date  as  a  percentage  of  total 
estimated project costs required to complete the project. 
The  cost  expended  (or  input)  method  has  been  used 
to  measure  progress  towards  completion  as  there  is  a 
direct relationship between input and productivity. If the 
Company does not have a sufficient basis to measure the 
progress of completion or to estimate the total contract 
revenues  and  costs,  revenue  is  recognized  only  to  the 
extent of contract cost incurred for which recoverability is 
probable. When total cost estimates exceed revenues in an 
arrangement, the estimated losses are recognized in the 
statement of profit and loss in the period in which such 
losses become probable based on the current contract 
estimates.

138

‘Unbilled revenues’ represent cost and earnings in excess 
of billings as at the end of the reporting period. ‘Unearned 
revenues’ represent billing in excess of revenue recognized. 
Advance payments received from customers for which no 
services  have  been  rendered  are  presented  as ‘Advance 
from customers’.

C.  Maintenance Contracts

Revenue from maintenance contracts is recognized ratably 
over the period of the contract using the percentage of 
completion method. When services are performed through 
an  indefinite  number  of  repetitive  acts  over  a  specified 
period  of  time,  revenue  is  recognized  on  a  straight-line 
basis over the specified period unless some other method 
better represents the stage of completion. 

In certain projects, a fixed quantum of service or output 
units  is  agreed  at  a  fixed  price  for  a  fixed  term.  In  such 
contracts,  revenue  is  recognized  with  respect  to  the 
actual output achieved till date as a percentage of total 
contractual output. Any residual service unutilized by the 
customer is recognized as revenue on completion of the 
term.

The	 Company	 accounts	 for	 volume	 discounts	 and	
pricing  incentives  to  customers  by  reducing  the 
amount of revenue recognized at the time of sale. 

The	Company	accrues	the	estimated	cost	of	warranties	
at  the  time  when  the  revenue  is  recognized. The 
accruals  are  based  on  the  Company’s  historical 
experience  of  material  usage  and  service  delivery 
costs. 

Costs	that	relate	directly	to	a	contract	and	incurred	
in securing a contract are recognized as an asset and 
amortized over the contract term.

Contract	 expenses	 are	 recognised	 as	 expenses	 by	
reference  to  the  stage  of  completion  of  contract 
activity at the end of the reporting period.

Products:

Revenue  from  sale  of  products  is  recognised  when  the 
significant  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  has  been 
transferred in accordance with the sales contract. Revenue 
from product sales is shown net of excise duty and net of 
sales tax separately charged and applicable discounts. 

Other income:

Agency  commission  is  accrued  when  shipment  of 
consignment is dispatched by the principal. 

Interest is recognized using the time-proportion method, 
based on rates implicit in the transaction.

Dividend income is recognized when the Company’s right 
to receive dividend is established.

Leases

Leases of assets, where the Company assumes substantially 
all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  are  classified  as 
finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the lower 
of the fair value of the leased assets at inception and the 
present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments 
are  apportioned  between  the  finance  charge  and  the 
outstanding  liability. The  finance  charge  is  allocated  to 
periods during the lease term at a constant periodic rate 
of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks 
and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. 
Lease rentals in respect of assets taken under operating 
leases  are  charged  to  statement  of  profit  and  loss  on  a 
straight line basis over the lease term.

In certain arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue 
from the sale of products given under finance leases. The 
Company  records  gross  finance  receivables,  unearned 
interest  income  and  the  estimated  residual  value  of  the 
leased  equipment  on  consummation  of  such  leases. 
Unearned  interest  income  represents  the  excess  of  the 
gross finance lease receivable plus the estimated residual 
value over the sales price of the equipment. The Company 
recognizes unearned interest income as financing revenue 
over the lease term using the effective interest method.

x. 

Foreign currency transactions

The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations on foreign 
currency  transactions.  Foreign  currency  transactions  are 
accounted in the books of account at the exchange rates 
prevailing on the date of transaction. 

Transaction:

The difference between the rate at which foreign currency 
transactions are accounted and the rate at which they are 
realized is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

Translation:

Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities at period-
end are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the 
date  of  Balance  Sheet. The  difference  arising  from  the 
translation is recognised in the statement of profit and loss, 
except for the exchange difference arising on monetary 
items that qualify as hedging instruments in a cash flow 
hedge  or  hedge  of  a  net  investment  in  a  non-integral 
foreign operation. In such cases the exchange difference is 
initially recognised in hedging reserve or Foreign Currency 
Translation  Reserve  (FCTR),  respectively.  Such  exchange 
differences are subsequently recognised in the statement 
of  profit  and  loss  on  occurrence  of  the  underlying 
hedged  transaction  or  on  disposal  of  the  investment, 
respectively. Further, foreign currency differences arising 
from translation of intercompany receivables or payables 
relating  to  foreign  operations,  the  settlement  of  which 
is  neither  planned  nor  likely  in  the  foreseeable  future, 

are considered to form part of net investment in foreign 
operation  and  are  recognized  in  FCTR. When  a  foreign 
operation is disposed of, the relevant amount recognized 
in FCTR is transferred to the statement of profit and loss as 
part of the profit or loss on disposal.

The amended AS 11 provides an irrevocable option to the 
Company to amortise exchange rate fluctuation on long 
term  foreign  currency  monetary  asset/liability  over  the 
life of the asset/liability or March 31, 2020, whichever is 
earlier. The  amendment  is  applicable  retroactively  from 
the financial year beginning on or after December 7, 2006.

The Company did not elect to exercise this option.

xi. 

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are recognised when the Company 
becomes  a  party  to  the  contractual  provisions  of  the 
instrument. 

Derivative instruments and Hedge accounting:

The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations 
on foreign currency assets, liabilities, net investment in a 
non-integral foreign operation and forecasted cash flows 
denominated in foreign currency. The Company limits the 
effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by following 
established risk management policies including the use of 
derivatives. The Company enters into derivative financial 
instruments, where the counterparty is primarily a bank.

Premium  or  discount  on  foreign  exchange  forward 
contracts taken to hedge foreign currency risk of an existing 
asset / liability is recognised in the statement of profit and 
loss over the period of the contract. Exchange differences 
on such contracts are recognised in the statement of profit 
and  loss  of  the  reporting  period  in  which  the  exchange 
rates change.

The Company has adopted the principles of Accounting 
Standard  30,  Financial  Instruments:  Recognition 
and  Measurement  (AS  30)  issued  by  ICAI  except  to 
the  extent  the  adoption  of  AS  30  does  not  conflict 
with  existing  accounting  standards  prescribed  by 
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and other authoritative 
pronouncements.

In  accordance  with  the  recognition  and  measurement 
principles set out in AS 30, changes in fair value of derivative 
financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges are 
recognised directly in shareholders’ funds and reclassified 
into the statement of profit and loss upon the occurrence 
of the hedged transaction. 

Changes  in  the  fair  value  relating  to  the  ineffective 
portion of the hedges and derivative instruments that do 
not  qualify  for  hedge  accounting  are  recognised  in  the 
statement of profit and loss. 

The  fair  value  of  derivative  financial  instruments  is 
determined based on observable market inputs including

xii.  Depreciation and amortization

The Company has provided for depreciation using straight 
line method over the useful life of the assets as prescribed 
under  part  C  of  Schedule  II  of  the  Companies  Act,  2013 
except in the case of following assets which are depreciated 
based on useful lives estimated by the Management:

Class of asset

Buildings

Computer including telecom equipment and 
software (included under plant and machinery)

Furniture and fixtures

Electrical  installations  (included  under  plant 
and machinery)

Estimated 
useful life

28 – 40 years

 2 – 7 years

 5 – 6 years

 5 years

Other than financial assets: 

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether 
there is any indication that a non-financial asset including 
goodwill may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the 
Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. 
If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable 
amount  of  the  cash  generating  unit  to  which  the  asset 
belongs to is less than its carrying amount, the carrying 
amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction 
is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the 
statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date 
there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment 
loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed 
and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject 
to a maximum of depreciated historical cost. In respect of 
goodwill, the impairment loss will be reversed only when 
it was caused by specific external events of an exceptional 
nature that is not expected to recur and their effects have 
been reversed by subsequent external events.

Vehicles

 4 years

xiv.  Employee benefits

For the class of assets mentioned above, based on internal 
technical assessment the management believes that the 
useful lives as given above best represent the period over 
which  management  expects  to  use  these  assets.  Hence 
the  useful  lives  for  these  assets  are  different  from  the 
useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the 
Companies Act, 2013. 

Freehold land is not depreciated.

Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful 
life on a straight line basis. 

Payments for leasehold land are amortised over the period 
of lease.

Fixed assets individually costing Rupees five thousand or 
less are depreciated at 100% over a period of one year.

Assets  under  finance  lease  are  amortised  over  their 
estimated useful life or the lease term, whichever is lower.

xiii. 

Impairment of assets

Financial assets:

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether 
there  is  any  objective  evidence  that  a  financial  asset  or 
group of financial assets is impaired. If any such indication 
exists, the Company estimates the amount of impairment 
loss. The  amount  of  loss  for  receivables  is  measured  as 
the  difference  between  the  assets  carrying  amount  and 
undiscounted  amount  of  future  cash  flows.  Reduction, 
if  any,  is  recognised  in  the  statement  of  profit  and  loss. 
If  at  the  balance  sheet  date  there  is  any  indication  that 
a  previously  assessed  impairment  loss  no  longer  exists, 
the  recognised  impairment  loss  is  reversed,  subject  to 
maximum  of  initial  carrying  amount  of  the  short-term 
receivable.

140

Provident fund: 

Employees  receive  benefits  from  a  provident  fund. The 
employee and employer each make monthly contributions 
to the plan. A portion of the contribution is made to the 
provident fund trust managed by the Company, while the 
remainder of the contribution is made to the Government 
administered  pension  fund. The  Company  is  generally 
liable  for  any  shortfall  in  the  fund  assets  based  on  the 
government specified minimum rate of return. 

Compensated absences:

The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated 
absences. The employees can carry forward a portion of 
the unutilized accumulating compensated absences and 
utilize  it  in  future  periods  or  receive  cash  at  retirement 
or termination of employment. The Company records an 
obligation  for  compensated  absences  in  the  period  in 
which  the  employee  renders  the  services  that  increases 
this  entitlement. The  Company  measures  the  expected 
cost of compensated absences as the additional amount 
that the Company expects to pay as a result of the unused 
entitlement  that  has  accumulated  at  the  end  of  the 
reporting period. The Company recognizes accumulated 
compensated  absences  based  on  actuarial  valuation 
carried out by independent actuary using the projected 
unit  credit  method.  Non-accumulating  compensated 
absences  are  recognized  in  the  period  in  which  the 
absences occur. The Company recognizes actuarial gains 
and losses immediately in the statement of profit and loss 
account.

Gratuity:

In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, the 
Company  provides  for  a  lump  sum  payment  to  eligible

employees, at retirement or termination of employment 
based on the last drawn salary and years of employment 
with the Company. The gratuity fund is managed by the Life 
Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), HDFC Standard Life, 
TATA AIG life and Birla Sun-life. The Company’s obligation 
in respect of the gratuity plan, which is a defined benefit 
plan, is provided for based on actuarial valuation carried 
out by an independent actuary using the projected unit 
credit  method. The  Company  recognizes  actuarial  gains 
and losses immediately in the statement of profit and loss.

Superannuation: 

Superannuation  plan,  a  defined  contribution  scheme, 
is  administered  by  the  LIC  and  ICICI  Prudential  Life 
Insurance Company Limited. The Company makes annual 
contributions  based  on  a  specified  percentage  of  each 
covered employee’s salary.

xv.  Employee stock options

The  Company  determines  the  compensation  cost  based 
on  the  intrinsic  value  method. The  compensation  cost 
is  amortised  on  a  straight  line  basis  over  the  vesting 
period. 

xvi.  Taxes

Income tax:

The  current  charge  for  income  taxes  is  calculated  in 
accordance with the relevant tax regulations. Tax liability 
for  domestic  taxes  has  been  computed  under  Minimum 
Alternate Tax  (MAT).  MAT  credit  are  being  recognized  if 
there  is  convincing  evidence  that  the  Company  will  pay 
normal tax after the tax holiday period and the resultant 
asset can be measured reliably. The excess tax paid under 
MAT provisions being over and above regular tax liability 
can be carried forward for a period of ten years from the 
year of recognition and is available for set off against future 
tax liabilities computed under regular tax provisions, to the 
extent of MAT liability.

Deferred tax assets on timing differences are recognised 
only if there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future 
taxable income will be available against which such deferred 
tax assets can be realized. However, deferred tax assets on 
the  timing  differences  when  unabsorbed  depreciation 
and  losses  carried  forward  exist,  are  recognised  only  to 
the  extent  that  there  is  virtual  certainty  that  sufficient 
future taxable income will be available against which such 
deferred tax assets can be realized. 

Deferred tax assets are reassessed for the appropriateness 
of their respective carrying amounts at each balance sheet 
date.

The Company offsets, on a year on year basis, the current 
and  non-current  tax  assets  and  liabilities,  where  it  has  a 
legally enforceable right and where it intends to settle such 
assets and liabilities on a net basis.

xvii.  Earnings per share 

Basic: 

The  number  of  equity  shares  used  in  computing  basic 
earnings  per  share  is  the  weighted  average  number  of 
shares outstanding during the year excluding equity shares 
held by controlled trusts.

Diluted: 

The number of equity shares used in computing diluted 
earnings  per  share  comprises  the  weighted  average 
number  of  equity  shares  considered  for  deriving  basic 
earnings per share, and also the weighted average number 
of  equity  shares  that  could  have  been  issued  on  the 
conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. 

Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as 
of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. 
The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity 
shares are adjusted for any stock splits and bonus shares 
issued.

Deferred tax:

xviii.  Cash flow statement

Cash  flows  are  reported  using  the  indirect  method, 
whereby net profits before tax is adjusted for the effects 
of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or 
accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The 
cash flows from regular revenue generating, investing and 
financing activities of the Company are segregated.

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  recognised  for  the 
future tax consequences attributable to timing differences 
that result between the profit offered for income taxes and 
the profit as per the financial statements of the Company.

Deferred  taxes  are  recognised  in  respect  of  timing 
differences which originate during the tax holiday period 
but reverse after the tax holiday period. For this purpose, 
reversal of timing difference is determined using first in first 
out method.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax 
rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively 
enacted by the balance sheet date. The effect on deferred 
tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognised 
in  the  period  that  includes  the  enactment/substantive 
enactment date.

The Company’s Indian operations have been established as 
units in Special Economic Zone and Software Technology 
Park Unit under plans formulated by the Government of 
India. As per the plan, the Company’s India operations have 
export  obligations  to  the  extent  of  net  positive  foreign 
exchange (i.e. foreign exchange inflow - foreign exchange 
outflow  should  be  positive)  over  a  five  year  period. The 
consequence of not meeting this commitment in the future 
would  be  a  retroactive  levy  of  import  duties  on  certain 
hardware previously imported duty free. As at March 31, 
2015,  the  Company  has  met  all  commitments  required 
under the plan.

Tax Demands:

Company received a tax demand for year ended March 31, 
2001 arising primarily on account of denial of deduction 
under  section  10A  of  the  Income Tax  Act,  1961  (Act)  in 
respect  of  profit  earned  by  the  Company’s  undertaking 
in Software Technology Park at Bangalore. The same issue 
was repeated in the successive assessments for the years 
ended March 31, 2002 to March 31, 2010 and the aggregate 
demand  is  `  46,515  (including  interest  of  `  13,673). The 
appeals filed against the said demand before the Appellate 
authorities have been allowed in favor of the Company by 
the second appellate authority for the years up to March 
31, 2007. Further appeals have been filed by the Income 
tax authorities before the Hon’ble High Court. The Hon’ble

High Court has heard and disposed off the appeals up to 
years  ended  March  31,  2004.  Order  of  the  Hon’ble  High 
Court is not yet received.

On similar issues for years prior to years ended March 31, 
2001, the Hon’ble High Court in Karnataka has upheld the 
claim of the Company under section 10A of the Act. For the 
year ended March 31, 2008, March 2009, the appeals are 
pending before Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (Tribunal).
For  year  ended  March  31,  2010,  the  Dispute  Resolution 
Panel  (DRP)  allowed  the  claim  of  the  Company  under 
section 10A of  the  Act. The  Income  tax authorities have 
filed an appeal before the Tribunal. For year ended March 
31, 2011, the Company received the draft assessment order 
in March 2015, on similar grounds as that of earlier years, 
with a demand of ` 7,852 (including interest of ` 2,547) for 
the financial year ended March 31, 2011. 

Considering the facts and nature of disallowance and the 
order of the appellate authority/Hon’ble Karnataka High 
Court  upholding  the  claims  of  the  Company  for  earlier 
years, the Company believes that the final outcome of the 
above  disputes  should  be  in  favor  of  the  Company  and 
there should not be any adverse impact on the financial 
statements.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims 
which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. The 
resolution of these legal proceedings is not likely to have 
a material and adverse effect on the results of operations 
or the financial position of the Company.

34.  Adoption of AS 30

The Company has applied the principles of AS 30, Financial 
Instruments:  Recognition  and  measurement,  as  per 
announcement by ICAI to the extent such principles of AS 
30  does  not  conflict  with  existing  accounting  standards 
prescribed  under  Section  133  of  the  Companies  Act, 
2013 (‘Act’) read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) 
Rules, 2014, the provisions of Companies Act, 2013 (to the 
extent  notified  and  applicable)  and  other  authoritative 
pronouncements.

The Company has designated USD 145 Million (2014: USD 
220  Million),  Euro  Nil  (2014:  Euro  25  Million)  of  forward 
contracts as hedges of its net investment in non- integral 
foreign  operation  and  has  also  designated  a  dollar-
denominated  foreign  currency  borrowing  amounting 
to USD 150 Million (2014: USD 150 Million) as a hedging

Gratuity:  In  accordance  with  applicable  Indian  laws, 
the  Company  provides  for  gratuity,  a  defined  benefit 
retirement plan (Gratuity Plan) covering certain categories 
of  employees. The  Gratuity  Plan  provides  a  lump  sum 
payment to vested employees, at retirement or termination 
of  employment,  an  amount  based  on  the  respective 
employee’s last drawn salary and the years of employment 
with  the  Company. The  Company  provides  the  gratuity 
benefit through annual contributions to a fund managed 
by  the  Life  Insurance  Corporation  of  India  (LIC),  HDFC 
Standard Life, Tata AIG and Birla Sun Life (‘Insurer’). Under 
this  plan,  the  settlement  obligation  remains  with  the 
Company, although the Insurer administers the plan and 
determines the contribution premium required to be paid 
by the Company.

option plans”) are granted an option to purchase shares 
of the Company at the respective exercise prices, subject 
to  requirements  of  vesting  conditions. These  options 
generally vest over a period of three to five years from the 
date of grant. Upon vesting, the employees can acquire one 
equity share for every option. The maximum contractual 
term for these stock option plans is generally 10 years.

The  stock  compensation  cost  is  computed  under  the 
intrinsic  value  method  and  amortised  on  a  straight  line 
basis over the total vesting period of five years. The intrinsic 
value on the date of grant approximates the fair value. For 
the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company has recorded 
stock compensation expense of `1,296 (2014: ` 535). 

The compensation committee of the board evaluates the 
performance and other criteria of employees and approves 
the grant of options. These options vest with employees 
over  a  specified  period  subject  to  fulfillment  of  certain 
conditions. Upon vesting, employees are eligible to apply 
and  secure  allotment  of  Company’s  shares  at  a  price 
determined on the date of grant of options. The particulars 
of options granted under various plans are tabulated below. 
(The number of shares in the table below is adjusted for 
any stock splits and bonus shares issues).

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors of Wipro Limited
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Wipro Limited (‘the Holding Company’) and its subsidiaries 
(collectively referred to as ‘the Group’), comprising the consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2015, the consolidated statement 
of profit and loss and the consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting 
policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that give a true 
and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows of the Group in 
accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 
133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’), read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (particularly Accounting Standard 
21, Consolidated Financial Statements). The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group  are responsible for 
maintenance of adequate accounting records for safeguarding the assets of the Group and for preventing and detecting frauds and other 
irregularities; the selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable 
and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively 
for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial 
statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been 
used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 
Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance 
about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. 
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial 
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement 
of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal 
control relevant to the Holding Company’s preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in order 
to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on whether the 
Holding Company has in place an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and the operating effectiveness 
of such controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the 
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. 
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid consolidated financial 
statements give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:
(i) 
(ii) 
(iii) 
Emphasis of matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note 28 to the consolidated financial statements that describes the principles of 
Accounting Standard (AS) 30, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurements, applied by the Group on certain foreign currency 
borrowing designated as a hedging instrument to hedge its net investment in a non-integral foreign operations, These principles of 
AS 30, are yet to be notified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. Had the Group 
not applied the principles of AS 30, the profit after taxation for the year ended March 31, 2015 would have been lower by ` 390 million. 

in the case of the consolidated balance sheet, of the state of affairs of the Group as at March 31, 2015;
in the case of the consolidated statement of profit and loss, of the profit of the Group for the year ended on that date; and
in the case of the consolidated cash flow statement, of the cash flows of the Group for the year ended on that date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

1.  Company overview

 Wipro Limited (“Wipro” or the “Parent Company”), together 
with  its  subsidiaries  (collectively, “the  Company”  or  the 
“Group”) is a leading India based provider of IT Services, 
including Business Process Services (“BPS”), globally. 

Wipro  is  a  public  limited  company  incorporated  and 
domiciled in India. The address of its registered office is 
Wipro Limited, Doddakannelli, Sarjapur Road, Bangalore 
- 560 035, Karnataka, India. Wipro has its primary listing 
with Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange 
in  India. The  Company’s  American  Depository  Shares 
representing equity shares are also listed on the New York 
Stock Exchange.

2. 

Significant accounting policies

i. 

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements are prepared in accordance 
with Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles 
(GAAP) under the historical cost convention on the 
accrual basis, except for certain financial instruments 
which  are  measured  on  a  fair  value  basis.  GAAP 
comprises Accounting Standards (AS), issued by the 
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and 
other  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  in 
India.

All amounts included in the financial statements are 
reported in millions of Indian rupees (` in millions) 
except  share  and  per  share  data,  unless  otherwise 
stated. Due to rounding off, the numbers presented 
throughout the document may not add up precisely 
to the totals and percentages may not precisely reflect 
the absolute figures.

ii. 

Principles of consolidation 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been 
prepared on the following basis:

- 

- 

The consolidated financial statements include 
the  financial  statements  of Wipro  and  all  its 
subsidiaries, which are more than 50% owned 
or  controlled. The  financial  statements  of  the 
parent  company  and  its  majority  owned  / 
controlled subsidiaries have been combined on 
a line by line basis by adding together the book 
values of all items of assets, liabilities, incomes 
and expenses after eliminating all intra-group 
balances / transactions and resulting unrealized 
gain / loss.

The  excess  of  the  cost  to  the  parent  of 
its  investments  in  a  subsidiary  over  the 
parent’s  portion  of  equity  at  the  date  on 

which  investment  in  the  subsidiary  is  made, 
is  recognised  as ‘Goodwill’. When  the  cost  to 
the  parent  of  its  investment  in  a  subsidiary  is 
less than the parent’s portion of equity of the 
subsidiary at the date on which investment in 
the subsidiary is made, the difference is treated 
as ‘Capital Reserve’ in the consolidated financial 
statements.

- 

Minority interest in the net assets of consolidated 
subsidiaries consists of:

a) 

b) 

the  amount  of  equity  attributable  to 
the  minorities  at  the  dates  on  which 
investment in a subsidiary is made; and

the  minorities  share  of  movements  in 
equity since the date of parent-subsidiary 
relationship came into existence.

Minority interest in share of net result for the 
year is identified and adjusted against the profit 
after tax. Excess of loss, if any, attributable to the 
minority over and above the minority interest 
in the equity of the subsidiaries is absorbed by 
the Company.

- 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  are 
prepared using uniform accounting policies for 
similar transactions and other events in similar 
circumstances.

iii.  Use of estimates

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  requires 
management  to  make  judgments,  estimates  and 
assumptions that affect the application of accounting 
policies  and  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and 
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities 
as at the date of financial statements and reported 
amounts  of  income  and  expenses  during  the  year. 
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed 
on an ongoing basis. Revision to accounting estimates 
is recognised in the year in which the estimates are 
revised and in any future year affected.

iv. 

Fixed asset

Tangible  assets  are  stated  at  historical  cost  less 
accumulated  depreciation  and  impairment  loss,  if 
any. Costs include expenditure directly attributable to 
the acquisition of the asset. Borrowing costs directly 
attributable  to  the  construction  or  production  of 
qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment 
have different useful lives, they are accounted for as 
separate items (major components) of property, plant

and  equipment.  Subsequent  expenditure  relating 
to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only 
when  it  is  probable  that  future  economic  benefits 
associated with these will flow to the Company and 
the cost of the item can be measured reliably. 

Intangible assets are stated at the consideration paid 
for  acquisition  less  accumulated  amortization  and 
impairment loss, if any.

Cost  of  fixed  assets  not  ready  for  use  before  the 
balance  sheet  date  is  disclosed  as  capital  work-in-
progress. Advances paid towards the acquisition of 
fixed assets outstanding as of each balance sheet date 
is disclosed under long term loans and advances.

v. 

Investments

Non-current investments are stated at cost less other 
than  temporary  diminution  in  the  value  of  such 
investments, if any. Current investments are valued at 
lower of cost and fair value determined by category of 
investment. The fair value is determined using quoted 
market price/market observable information adjusted 
for cost of disposal. On disposal of the investment, 
the  difference  between  its  carrying  amount  and 
net disposal proceeds is charged or credited to the 
statement of profit and loss.

vi. 

Inventories

Inventories  are  valued  at  lower  of  cost  and  net 
realizable  value,  including  necessary  provision  for 
obsolescence. Cost is determined using the weighted 
average  method.  Cost  of  work-in-progress  and 
finished goods include material cost and appropriate 
share of manufacturing overheads. Cost of inventories 
comprises  all  costs  of  purchase  and  other  costs 
incurred in bringing the inventories to their present 
location and condition.

vii.  Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions  are  recognised  when  the  Company  has 
a present obligation as a result of past events, it is 
probable that an outflow of resources will be required 
to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can 
be made of the amount of obligation.

A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when 
there is a possible obligation or a present obligation 
that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of 
resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a 
present obligation in respect of which the likelihood 
of  outflow  of  resources  is  remote,  no  provision  or 
disclosure is made.

Provision for onerous contracts is recognized when 
the expected benefits to be derived from the contract 
are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting the 
future obligations under the contract.

viii.  Revenue recognition

The Company derives revenue primarily from software 
development,  maintenance  of  software/hardware 
and related services, business process services, sale 
of IT and other products. 

Services 

The  Company  recognizes  revenue  when  the  significant 
terms of the arrangement are enforceable, services have 
been delivered and the collectability is reasonably assured. 
The method for recognizing revenues and costs depends 
on the nature of the services rendered: 

A. 

Time and materials contracts 

Revenues and costs relating to time and materials contracts 
are recognized as the related services are rendered. 

B. 

Fixed-price contracts 

Revenues  from  fixed-price  contracts,  including  systems 
development  and  integration  contracts  are  recognized 
using the “percentage-of-completion” method. Percentage 
of  completion  is  determined  based  on  project  costs 
incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated project 
costs required to complete the project. The cost expended 
(or  input)  method  has  been  used  to  measure  progress 
towards  completion  as  there  is  a  direct  relationship 
between  input  and  productivity.  If  the  Company  does 
not  have  a  sufficient  basis  to  measure  the  progress  of 
completion or to estimate the total contract revenues and 
costs, revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract 
cost incurred for which recoverability is probable. When 
total cost estimates exceed revenues in an arrangement, 
the estimated losses are recognized in the statement of 
profit and loss in the period in which such losses become 
probable based on the current contract estimates. 

Unbilled  revenues’  included  in  other  current  assets 
represent cost and earnings in excess of billings as at the 
end of the reporting period. ‘Unearned revenues’ included 
in  other  current  liabilities  represent  billing  in  excess  of 
revenue  recognized.  Advance  payments  received  from 
customers for which no services have been rendered are 
presented as ‘Advance from customers’. 

C.  Maintenance contracts

Revenue from maintenance contracts is recognized ratably 
over the period of the contract using the percentage of 
completion method. When services are performed through 
an  indefinite  number  of  repetitive  acts  over  a  specified 
period  of  time,  revenue  is  recognized  on  a  straight-line 
basis over the specified period unless some other method 
better represents the stage of completion. 

In certain projects, a fixed quantum of service or output units 
is agreed at a fixed price for a fixed term. In such contracts, 
revenue  is  recognized  with  respect  to  the  actual  output 
achieved  till  date  as  a  percentage  of  total  contractual

recognized as revenue on completion of the term.

D.  Others 

•

•	

•	

The	 Company	 accounts	 for	 volume	 discounts	 and	
pricing  incentives  to  customers  by  reducing  the 
amount of revenue recognized at the time of sale. 

The	Company	accrues	the	estimated	cost	of	warranties	
at  the  time  when  the  revenue  is  recognized. The 
accruals  are  based  on  the  Company’s  historical 
experience  of  material  usage  and  service  delivery 
costs. 

Costs	that	relate	directly	to	a	contract	and	incurred	
in securing a contract are recognized as an asset and 
amortized over the contract term.

Contract	 expenses	 are	 recognised	 as	 expenses	 by	
reference  to  the  stage  of  completion  of  contract 
activity at the end of the reporting period.

Products:

Revenue  from  sale  of  products  is  recognised  when  the 
significant  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  has  been 
transferred in accordance with the sales contract. Revenues 
from product sales are shown net of excise duty and net of 
sales tax separately charged and applicable discounts. 

Other income:

Agency  commission  is  accrued  when  shipment  of 
consignment is dispatched by the principal. 

Interest is recognized using the time-proportion method, 
based on rates implicit in the transaction.

Dividend income is recognized when the Company’s right 
to receive dividend is established.

ix. 

Leases

Leases of assets, where the Company assumes substantially 
all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  are  classified  as 
finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the lower 
of the fair value of the leased assets at inception and the 
present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments 
are  apportioned  between  the  finance  charge  and  the 
outstanding  liability. The  finance  charge  is  allocated  to 
periods during the lease term at a constant periodic rate 
of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks 
and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. 
Lease rentals in respect of assets taken under operating 
leases are charged to profit and loss account on a straight 
line basis over the lease term.

In  certain  arrangements,  the  Company  recognizes 
revenue from the sale of products given under finance 
leases. The Company records gross finance receivables, 
unearned  interest  income  and  the  estimated  residual 

value of the leased equipment on consummation of such 
leases. Unearned interest income represents the excess 
of the gross finance lease receivable plus the estimated 
residual  value  over  the  sales  price  of  the  equipment. 
The  Company  recognizes  unearned  interest  income  as 
financing revenue over the lease term using the effective 
interest method.

x. 

Foreign currency transactions

Transaction:

The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations on foreign 
currency  transactions.  Foreign  currency  transactions  are 
accounted at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of 
transaction. 

Translation:

Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities at period-
end are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the 
date  of  Balance  Sheet. The  difference  arising  from  the 
translation is recognised in the statement of profit and loss, 
except for the exchange difference arising on monetary 
items that qualify as hedging instruments in a cash flow 
hedge  or  hedge  of  a  net  investment  in  a  non-integral 
foreign operation. In such cases the exchange difference is 
initially recognised in hedging reserve or Foreign Currency 
Translation  Reserve  (FCTR),  respectively.  Such  exchange 
differences are subsequently recognised in the statement 
of  profit  and  loss  on  occurrence  of  the  underlying 
hedged  transaction  or  on  disposal  of  the  investment, 
respectively. Further, foreign currency differences arising 
from translation of intercompany receivables or payables 
relating  to  foreign  operations,  the  settlement  of  which 
is  neither  planned  nor  likely  in  the  foreseeable  future, 
are considered to form part of net investment in foreign 
operation  and  are  recognized  in  FCTR. When  a  foreign 
operation is disposed of, the relevant amount recognized 
in FCTR is transferred to the statement of profit and loss as 
part of the profit or loss on disposal.

Integral operations:

Monetary  assets  and  liabilities  are  translated  at  the 
exchange rate prevailing at the date of the balance sheet. 
Non-monetary items are translated at the historical rate. 
The items in the statement of profit and loss are translated 
at  the  average  exchange  rate  during  the  period. The 
differences arising out of the translation are recognised in 
the statement of profit and loss.

Non-integral operations:

Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate 
prevailing at the date of the balance sheet. The items in the 
statement of profit and loss are translated at the average 
exchange rate during the period. The differences arising 
out of the translation are transferred to foreign currency 
translation reserve.

The amended AS 11 provides an irrevocable option to 
the Company to amortise exchange rate fluctuation 
on long term foreign currency monetary asset/liability 
over the life of the asset/liability or March 31, 2020, 
whichever  is  earlier. The  amendment  is  applicable 
retroactively from the financial year beginning on or 
after December 7, 2006.

The company did not elect to exercise the option.

Changes in fair value relating to the ineffective portion of 
the hedges and derivatives that do not qualify for hedge 
accounting are recognised in the statement of profit and 
loss.

The  fair  value  of  derivative  financial  instruments  is 
determined based on observable market inputs including 
currency  spot  and  forward  rates,  yield  curves,  currency 
volatility etc.

xi. 

Financial Instruments

xii.  Depreciation and amortization

Financial  instruments  are  recognised  when  the 
Company  becomes  a  party  to  the  contractual 
provisions of the instrument. 

Derivative instruments and Hedge accounting:

The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations 
on  foreign  currency  assets,  liabilities,  net  investment  in 
non-integral foreign operations and forecasted cash flows 
denominated in foreign currency. The Company limits the 
effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by following 
established risk management policies including the use of 
derivatives. The Company enters into derivative financial 
instruments, where the counterparty is primarily a bank.

Premium  or  discount  on  foreign  exchange  forward 
contracts entered into hedge foreign currency risk of an 
existing asset / liability is recognised in the statement of 
profit and loss over the period of the contract. Exchange 
differences  on  such  contracts  are  recognised  in  the 
statement of profit and loss of the reporting period in which 
the exchange rates change.

The Company has adopted the principles of Accounting 
Standard  30,  Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and 
Measurement  (AS  30)  issued  by  ICAI  except  to  the 
extent  the  adoption  of  AS  30  does  not  conflict  with 
existing accounting standards prescribed by Companies 
(Accounting Standards) Rules, 2014 and other authoritative 
pronouncements.

In  accordance  with  the  recognition  and  measurement 
principles set out in AS 30, changes in fair value of derivative 
financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges are 
recognised directly in Reserves and Surplus and reclassified 
into the statement of profit and loss upon the occurrence 
of the hedged transaction. 

The Company designates derivative financial instruments 
as  hedges  of  net  investments  in  foreign  operations. 
Changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the  derivative  hedging 
instruments and gains/losses on translation or settlement 
of foreign currency denominated borrowings designated 
as  a  hedge  of  net  investment  in  foreign  operations  are 
recognized  in  Reserves  and  Surplus  to  the  extent  that 
the  hedge  is  effective. To  the  extent  that  the  hedge  is 
ineffective,  changes  in  fair  value  are  recognized  in  the 
statement of profit and loss.

The  Company  has  provided  for  depreciation  using 
straight line method over the useful life of the assets 
as  prescribed  under  part  C  of  Schedule  II  of  the 
Companies Act, 2013 except in the case of following 
assets  which  are  depreciated  based  on  useful  lives 
estimated by the Management:

Class of asset

Building

Plant and machinery

Office equipment

Vehicles

Furniture and fixtures

Electrical installations (included 
under plant and machinery)

Computer equipment and 
software (included under plant 
and machinery)

Estimated  
Useful Life 

28-40 years

5 – 21 years

3 - 10 years

4 - 5  years

3 - 10 years

2-7 years

2 – 7 years

For  the  class  of  assets,  based  on  internal  technical 
assessment, management believes that the useful lives as 
given above best represent the period over which assets 
are expected to be used. 

Hence the useful lives for these assets are different from 
the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II 
of the Companies Act, 2013. 

 Freehold land is not depreciated.

Fixed assets individually costing Rupees five thousand or 
less are depreciated at 100% over a period of one year.

Assets  under  finance  lease  are  amortised  over  their 
estimated useful life or the lease term, whichever is lower.

Payments for leasehold land are amortised over the period 
of lease.

The estimated useful lives of the amortizable intangible 
assets  for  the  current  and  comparative  periods  are  as 
follows:

Impairment of assets

Financial assets:

The Company assesses at each period end whether 
there is any objective evidence that a financial asset 
or group of financial assets is impaired. If any such 
indication exists, the Company estimates the amount 
of impairment loss. The amount of loss for receivables 
is  measured  as  the  difference  between  the  assets 
carrying amount and undiscounted amount of future 
cash flows. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the 
statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet 
date there is any indication that a previously assessed 
impairment  loss  no  longer  exists,  the  recognised 
impairment loss is reversed, subject to maximum of 
initial carrying amount of the short-term receivable.

compensated  absences  and  utilize  it  in  future 
periods or receive cash at retirement or termination 
of employment. The Company records an obligation 
for  compensated  absences  in  the  period  in  which 
the employee renders the services that increases this 
entitlement. The  Company  measures  the  expected 
cost  of  compensated  absences  as  the  additional 
amount that the Company expects to pay as a result of 
the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the 
end of the reporting period. The Company recognizes 
accumulated  compensated  absences  based  on 
actuarial  valuation  using  the  projected  unit  credit 
method. Non-accumulating compensated absences 
are recognized in the period in which the absences 
occur. The Company recognizes actuarial gains and 
losses immediately in the statement of profit and loss. 

Other than financial assets: 

Gratuity:

The Company assesses at each period end whether 
there  is  any  indication  that  a  non-financial  asset 
including  goodwill  may  be  impaired.  If  any  such 
indication  exists,  the  Company  estimates  the 
recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable 
amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the 
cash generating unit to which the asset belongs to is 
less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is 
reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is 
treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the 
statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet 
date there is an indication that a previously assessed 
impairment  loss  no  longer  exists,  the  recoverable 
amount  is  reassessed  and  the  asset  is  reflected  at 
the  recoverable  amount  subject  to  a  maximum  of 
depreciated  historical  cost.  In  respect  of  goodwill, 
the impairment loss will be reversed only when it was 
caused by specific external events of an exceptional 
nature that is not expected to recur and their effects 
have been reversed by subsequent external events.

xiv.  Employee benefits

Provident fund: 

Employees  receive  benefits  from  a  provident  fund, 
a defined benefit plan. The employee and employer 
each  make  monthly  contributions  to  the  plan.  A 
portion of the contribution is made to the approved 
provident  fund  trust  managed  by  the  Company, 
while the remainder of the contribution is made to 
the  government  administered  pension  fund. The 
Company is generally liable for any shortfall in the 
fund  assets  based  on  the  government  specified 
minimum rate of return.

Compensated absences:

The  employees  of  the  Company  are  entitled  to 
compensated  absences. The  employees  can  carry 
forward  a  portion  of  the  unutilized  accumulating 

In  accordance  with  the  Payment  of  Gratuity 
Act,  1972  applicable  to  Indian  Companies,  the 
Company  provides  for  a  lump  sum  payment  to 
eligible employees, at retirement or termination of 
employment  based  on  the  last  drawn  salary  and 
years of employment with the Company. The gratuity 
fund is managed by the Life Insurance Corporation 
of India (LIC), HDFC Standard Life, TATA AIG life and 
Birla Sun-life. The Company’s obligation in respect of 
the gratuity plan, which is a defined benefit plan, is 
provided for based on actuarial valuation carried out 
by an independent actuary using the projected unit 
credit  method. The  Company  recognizes  actuarial 
gains  and  losses  immediately  in  the  statement  of 
profit and loss.

Superannuation: 

Superannuation plan, a defined contribution scheme, 
is administered by the LIC and ICICI Prudential Life 
Insurance  Company  Limited. The  Company  makes 
annual contributions based on a specified percentage 
of each eligible employee’s salary.

xv.  Employee stock options

The  Company  determines  the  compensation 
cost  based  on  the  intrinsic  value  method.  The 
compensation  cost  is  amortised  on  a  straight  line 
basis over the vesting period.

xvi.  Taxes

Income tax:

The  current  charge  for  income  taxes  is  calculated 
in accordance with the relevant tax regulations. Tax 
liability for domestic taxes has been computed under 
Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT). MAT credit are being 
recognized if there is convincing evidence that the 
Company  will  pay  normal  tax  after  the  tax  holiday 
period  and  the  resultant  asset  can  be  measured

reliably. The  excess  tax  paid  under  MAT  provisions 
being  over  and  above  regular  tax  liability  can  be 
carried forward for a period of ten years from the year 
of recognition and is available for set off against future 
tax liabilities computed under regular tax provisions, 
to the extent of MAT liability.

Deferred tax:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for 
the future tax consequences attributable to timing 
differences  that  result  between  the  profit  offered 
for income taxes and the profit as per the financial 
statements of each entity in the Group.

Deferred  taxes  are  recognised  in  respect  of  timing 
differences  which  originate  during  the  tax  holiday 
period but reverse after the tax holiday period. For this 
purpose, reversal of timing difference is determined 
using first in first out method.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using 
the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or 
substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The 
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change 
in tax rates is recognised in the period that includes 
the enactment/substantive enactment date. 

Deferred  tax  assets  on  timing  differences  are 
recognised  only  if  there  is  a  reasonable  certainty 
that sufficient future taxable income will be available 
against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. 
However, deferred tax assets on the timing differences 
when  unabsorbed  depreciation  and  losses  carried 
forward exist, are recognised only to the extent that 
there is virtual certainty that sufficient future taxable 
income will be available against which such deferred 
tax assets can be realized. 

Deferred  tax  assets  are  reassessed  for  the 
appropriateness of their respective carrying amounts 
at each balance sheet date. 

The  Company  offsets,  on  a  year  on  year  basis,  it’s 
current  and  non-current  tax  assets  and  liabilities, 
where it has a legally enforceable right and where it 
intends to settle such assets and liabilities on a net 
basis.

xvii.  Earnings per share 

Basic: 

The number of equity shares used in computing basic 
earnings per share is the weighted average number of 
shares outstanding during the year excluding equity 
shares held by controlled trust. 

Diluted: 

The  number  of  equity  shares  used  in  computing 
diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted 
average  number  of  equity  shares  considered  for 
deriving  basic  earnings  per  share,  and  also  the 
weighted average number of equity shares that could 
have  been  issued  on  the  conversion  of  all  dilutive 
potential equity shares.

Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted 
as  of  the  beginning  of  the  period,  unless  issued 
at  a  later  date. The  number  of  equity  shares  and 
potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for any 
stock splits and bonus shares issued.

xviii.  Cash flow statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, 
whereby  net  profits  before  tax  is  adjusted  for  the 
effects of transactions of a non-cash nature and any 
deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts 
or  payments. The  cash  flows  from  regular  revenue 
generating, investing and financing activities of the 
Company are segregated.

28.  Adoption of AS 30

The Company has applied the principles of AS 30, as per 
announcement by ICAI, to the extent such principles of AS 
30  does  not  conflict  with  existing  accounting  standards 
prescribed by Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. 

i) 

ii) 

As permitted by AS 30, the Company has designated 
a  USD-denominated  foreign  currency  borrowing 
amounting  to  USD  150  million  as  a  hedging 
instrument  to  hedge  its  net  investment  in  a  non-
integral foreign operation. 

Accordingly, the translation gain/ (loss) on the foreign 
currency borrowings and portion of the changes in 
fair value of IRS which are determined to be effective 
hedge of net investment in non-integral operation 
and cash flow hedge of foreign currency borrowings 

aggregating to ` (524) for the year ended March 31, 
2015  [2014:  `  (705)]  was  recognised  in  translation 
reserve  /  hedging  reserve  in  shareholders’  funds. 
The  amount  of  gain/  (loss)  of  `  (390)  for  the  year 
ended  March  31,  2015  [2014:  `  (839)]  recognised 
in translation reserve would be transferred to profit 
and loss account upon sale or disposal of the non-
integral foreign operation and the amount of gain / 
(loss) of ` (134) for year ended March 31, 2015 [2014: 
` 134] recognised in the hedging reserve would be 
transferred to the statement of profit and loss on the 
occurrence of the hedged transaction. 

iii) 

In  accordance  with  AS  11,  if  the  Company  had 
continued to recognize translation (losses)/ gains on 
foreign currency borrowing in the statement of profit 
and loss:

a. 

Foreign  currency  borrowing  of  USD  150  Mn 
would  not  have  been  eligible  as  a  hedge 
instrument for hedge accounting and changes in 
the fair value of the foreign currency borrowing 
would have to be recognized in the statement of 
profit and loss. As a result profit after tax would 
have been lower by ` 390 for the year ended 
March 31, 2015 (2014: ` 839).

29.  Derivatives

As of March 31, 2015, the Company has recognised gains 
of  `  4,268  [2014:  `  567]  relating  to  derivative  financial 
instruments  (comprising  of  foreign  currency  forward 
contract,  option  contracts,  and  interest  rate  swap)  that 
are  designated  as  effective  cash  flow  hedges  in  the 
shareholders’ funds.

In addition to the derivative instruments discussed above in 
Note 28, the Company has also designated certain foreign 
currency  forward  contracts  to  hedge  its  net  investment 
in  non-integral  foreign  operations. The  Company  has 
recognized gain of ` 780 for the year ended March 31, 2015 
(2014:  loss  of  `  1,761)  relating  to  the  derivative  financial 
instruments in translation reserve in the reserves and surplus.

The  following  table  presents  the  aggregate  contracted 
principal amounts of the Company’s derivative contracts 
outstanding as at:

As of the balance sheet date, the Company has net foreign 
currency  exposures  that  are  not  hedged  by  a  derivative 
instrument or otherwise amounting to ` 18,303 (2014: ` 
18,196).

30.  Sale of financial assets

From time to time, in the normal course of business, the 
Company transfers accounts receivables, unbilled revenues, 
net  investment  in  finance  lease  receivables  (financials 
assets) to banks. Under the terms of the arrangements, the 
Company surrenders control over the financial assets and 
transfer is without recourse. Accordingly, such transfers are 
recorded as sale of financial assets. Gains and losses on sale 
of financial assets without recourse are recorded at the time 
of sale based on the carrying value of the financial assets 
and fair value of servicing liability. 

In  certain  cases,  transfer  of  financial  assets  may  be  with 
recourse.  Under  such  arrangements,  the  Company  is 
obligated to repurchase the uncollected financial assets, 
subject to limits specified in the agreement with the banks. 
These are reflected as part of loans and borrowings in the 
statement of balance sheet.

31.  Finance lease receivables

The Company provides lease financing for the traded and 
manufactured products primarily through finance leases. 
The  finance  lease  portfolio  contains  only  the  normal 
collection risk with no important uncertainties with respect 
to  future  costs. These  receivables  are  generally  due  in 
monthly  or  quarterly  installments  over  periods  ranging 
from 1 to 7 years.

The components of finance lease receivables are as follows:

Gross investment in lease
Not later than one year
Later than one year and not later 
than five years
Later than five years
Unguaranteed residual values 

Unearned finance income

Gratuity:  In  accordance  with  applicable  Indian  laws, 
the  Company  provides  for  gratuity,  a  defined  benefit 
retirement plan (Gratuity Plan) covering certain categories 
of  employees. The  Gratuity  Plan  provides  a  lump  sum 
payment to vested employees, at retirement or termination 
of  employment,  an  amount  based  on  the  respective 
employee’s last drawn salary and the years of employment 
with  the  Company. The  Company  provides  the  gratuity 
benefit through annual contributions to a fund managed 
by  the  Life  Insurance  Corporation  of  India  (LIC),  HDFC 
Standard  Life, Tata  AIG  Life  and  Birla  Sun  Life  (‘Insurer’). 
Under this plan, the settlement obligation remains with 
the Company, although the Insurer administers the plan 
and determines the contribution premium required to be 
paid by the Company.

The Company has invested the plan assets in the insurer 
managed funds. The expected rate of return on plan asset 
is based on expectation of the average long term rate of

The  Company  assesses  these  assumptions  with  its 
projected  long-term  plans  of  growth  and  prevalent 
industry standards. The estimates of future salary increase, 
considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, 
seniority,  promotion  and  other  relevant  factors  such  as 
supply and demand factors in the employment market.

Superannuation:  Apart  from  being  covered  under 
the  gratuity  plan,  the  employees  of  the  Company  also 
participate  in  a  defined  contribution  plan  maintained 
by  the  Company. This  plan  is  administered  by  the  Life 
Insurance  Corporation  of  India  and  ICICI  Prudential 
Insurance Company Limited. The Company makes annual 
contributions  based  on  a  specified  percentage  of  each 
covered employee’s salary.

For  the  year  ended  March  31,  2015,  the  Company  has 
contributed  (net)  `  518  to  superannuation  fund  [2014: 
contribution recognized ` 484]. 

Provident Fund (PF): In addition to the above, all employees 
receive benefits from a provident fund. The employee and 
employer each make monthly contributions to the plan. A 
portion of the contribution is made to the provident fund 
trust established by the Company, while the remainder of 
the contribution is made to the Government administered 
pension fund. 

The interest rate payable by the trust to the beneficiaries 
is regulated by the statutory authorities. The Company has 
an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between 
the returns from its investments and the administered rate.

i) 

ii) 

iii) 

Employees  covered  under  Stock  Option  Plans  and 
Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) Option Plans (collectively 
“stock  option  plans”)  are  granted  an  option  to 
purchase  shares  of  the  Company  at  the  respective 
exercise  prices,  subject  to  requirements  of  vesting 
conditions. These options generally vest in tranches 
over  a  period  of  three  to  five  years  from  the  date 
of grant. Upon vesting, the employees can acquire 
one  equity  share  for  every  option. The  maximum 
contractual  term  for  aforementioned  stock  option 
plans is generally 10 years.

The stock compensation cost is computed under the 
intrinsic value method and amortised on a straight 
line basis over the total vesting period. The intrinsic 
value on the date of grant approximates the fair value. 
For the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company has 
recorded  stock  compensation  expense  of  `  1,327 
(2014: ` 560). 

The compensation committee of the board evaluates 
the  performance  and  other  criteria  of  employees 
and  approves  the  grant  of  options. These  options 
vest with employees over a specified period subject 
to  fulfillment  of  certain  conditions.  Upon  vesting, 
employees are eligible to apply and secure allotment 
of  Company’s  shares  at  a  price  determined  on  the 
date of grant of options. The particulars of options 
granted under various plans are tabulated below. (The 
numbers of shares in the table below are adjusted for 
any stock splits and bonus shares issues).

Income tax

The  provision  for  taxation  includes  tax  liability  in  India 
on  the  Company’s  worldwide  income. The  tax  has  been 
computed  on  the  worldwide  income  as  reduced  by  the 
various  deductions  and  exemptions  provided  by  the 
Income Tax Act, 1961 in India (Act) and the tax credit in 
India for the tax liabilities payable in foreign countries. 

Most  of  the  Company’s  operations  are  through  units  in 
Software Technology Parks (‘STPs’) and Special Economic 
Zones (SEZ’s). Income from STPs is not eligible for deduction 
from 1st April, 2011. Income from SEZ’s are eligible for 100% 
deduction for the first 5 years, 50% deduction for the next 
5 years and 50% deduction for another 5 years subject to 
fulfilling certain conditions.

The  Company  has  calculated  its  tax  liability  after 
considering  the  provisions  of  law  relating  to  Minimum 
Alternate Tax  (MAT).  As  per  the  Act,  any  excess  of  MAT 
paid over the normal tax payable can be carried forward 
and set off against the future tax liabilities. Accordingly 
an amount of ` 1,844 (2014: ` 1,842) is included under 
‘Long term loans and advances’ in the balance sheet as 
of March 31, 2015.

i) 

Tax expenses are net of reversal of provisions recorded 
in  earlier  periods,  which  are  no  longer  required, 
amounting  to  `  891  for  the  year  ended  March  31, 
2015 (2014: ` 1,244) and MAT credit of ` 2 for the year 
ended March 31, 2015 (2014: Nil).

In March 2004, the Company received a tax demand for 
year ended March 31, 2001 arising primarily on account 
of denial of deduction under section 10A of the Income 
Tax  Act,  1961  (Act)  in  respect  of  profit  earned  by  the 
Company’s undertaking in Software Technology Park at 
Bangalore. The same issue was repeated in the successive 
assessments for the years ended March 31, 2002 to March 
31, 2010 and the aggregate demand is ` 46,515 (including 
interest  of  `  13,673). The  appeals  filed  against  the  said 
demand  before  the  Appellate  authorities  have  been 
allowed in favor of the Company by the second appellate 
authority  for  the  years  up  to  March  31,  2007.  Further 
appeals  have  been  filed  by  the  Income  tax  authorities 
before the Hon’ble High Court. The Hon’ble High Court 
has heard and disposed off the appeals upto years ended 

05_Wipro AR_Consolidated Accnts_2015.indd   202

6/21/2015   4:12:50 PM

Consolidated Financial StatementsAnnual Report 2014-15 
 
 
March 31, 2004. Order of the Hon’ble High Court is not 
yet received.

On similar issues for years prior to years ended March 31, 
2001, the Hon’ble High Court in Karnataka has upheld the 
claim of the Company under section 10A of the Act.

For  the  years  ended  March  31,  2008,  March  2009,  the 
appeals are pending before Income Tax Appellate Tribunal 
(Tribunal).

For  year  ended  March  31,  2010,  the  Dispute  Resolution 
Panel  (DRP)  allowed  the  claim  of  the  Company  under 
section 10A of  the Act. The  Income  tax authorities have 
filed an appeal before the Tribunal.

For year ended March 31, 2011, the Company received the 
draft assessment order in March 2015, on similar grounds 
as that of earlier years, with a demand of ` 7,852 (including 
interest of ` 2,547) for the financial year ended March 31, 
2011. 

Considering the facts and nature of disallowance and the 
order of the Appellate authority/Hon’ble Karnataka High 
Court  upholding  the  claims  of  the  Company  for  earlier 
years, the Company believes that the final outcome of the 
above  disputes  should  be  in  favor  of  the  Company  and 
there should not be any adverse impact on the financial 
statements.

41.  Acquisitions

On August 15, 2014, the Company obtained control of ATCO 
I-Tek Inc., a Canadian entity, by acquiring 100% of its share 
capital and certain assets of IT services business of ATCO 
I-Tek Australia (hereafter the Acquisitions are collectively 
referred  to  as ‘acquisition  of  ATCO  I-Tek’)  for  an  all-cash 
consideration  of  `  11,420  million  (Canadian  Dollars  204 
million). ATCO I-Tek provides IT services to ATCO Group.

As part of conclusion of certain closing conditions, ` 349 
has been reduced from the purchase price. 

42.  Amalgamation of companies

The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries namely, 
Wipro Technology  Services  (‘WTS’)  and Wipro  Energy  IT 
Services Limited (‘WEITSL’) who are engaged in the business 
of  providing  information  technology  services  including 
software  maintenance  and  support  services.  During  the 
previous year, WTS and WEITSL have been amalgamated 
with the Company in terms of the scheme of amalgamation 
(‘Scheme’)  sanctioned  by  the  Honorable  High  Court  of 
Karnataka pursuant to its Order dated March 28, 2014. The 
Scheme became effective on April 9, 2014 with appointed 
date of April 1, 2013 when the sanction of the Honorable 
High Court of Karnataka and filing of the certified copy of 
the  same  with  the  Registrar  of  Companies. The  Scheme 
has  been  accounted  for  under  the ‘pooling  of  interest 
method’ as prescribed under AS 14 as per the terms of the 

Court  Order.  Since  the  subsidiaries  amalgamated  were 
wholly  owned  subsidiaries  of  the  Company,  there  was 
no  exchange  of  shares  to  effect  the  amalgamation. The 
difference between the amounts recorded as investments 
of the Company and the amount of share capital of the 
aforesaid amalgamating subsidiaries have been adjusted 
in the reserves in the standalone financial statements of 
the Company.

During the current year, Wipro IT Services Canada Limited 
has  been  amalgamated  with Wipro  Solutions  Canada 
Limited in terms of the articles of amalgamation (“scheme”) 
dated October 3, 2014. The scheme has been accounted for 
under the ‘pooling of interest method’ as prescribed under 
AS 14. The difference between the amounts recorded as 
investments and the amount of share capital have been 
adjusted  in  the  reserves  in  the  consolidated  financial 
statements of the Company.

43.  Segment reporting

The  Company  is  organized  by  the  following  operating 
segments; IT Services and IT Products.

IT Services: The IT Services segment primarily consists of IT 
Service offerings to our customers organized by industry 
verticals  as  follows:  Banking,  Financial  Services  and 
Insurance (BFSI), Healthcare and Life Sciences (HLS), Retail, 
Consumer, Transport  and  Government  (RCTG),  Energy, 
Natural  Resources  and  Utilities  (ENU),  Manufacturing 
and  Hi-tech  (MFG),  Global  Media  and Telecom  (GMT). 
Key  service  offering  to  customers  includes  software 
application development and maintenance, research and 
development services for hardware and software design, 
business  application  services,  analytics,  consulting, 
infrastructure outsourcing services and business process 
services.

IT  Products: The  IT  Products  segment  sells  a  range  of 
Wipro  personal  desktop  computers, Wipro  servers  and 
Wipro  notebooks. The  Company  is  also  a  value  added 
reseller of desktops, servers, notebooks, storage products, 
networking solutions and packaged software for leading 
international brands. In certain total outsourcing contracts 
of the IT Services segment, the Company delivers hardware, 
software products and other related deliverables. During FY 
2013-14, the Company ceased the manufacturing of ‘Wipro 
branded desktops, laptops and servers’. Revenue relating 
to the above items is reported as revenue from the sale of 
IT Products.

Assets and liabilities used in the Company’s business are not 
identified to any of the reportable segments, as these are 
used  interchangeably  between  segments.  Management 
believes  that  it  is  currently  not  practicable  to  provide 
segment disclosures relating to total assets and liabilities 
since  a  meaningful  segregation  of  the  available  data  is 
onerous.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Equity holders 
Wipro Limited: 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Wipro Limited and subsidiaries (“the Company”) 
as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and 
cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended March 31, 2015. These consolidated financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements 
based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures 
in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable 
basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position 
of the Company as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the 
three year period ended March 31, 2015, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by International 
Accounting Standard Board. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Wipro 
Limited’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated 
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated 
May 23, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

statements were authorized for issue by the Audit Committee 
on May 23, 2015. 

2. 

 Basis of preparation of financial statements 

(i)   Statement of compliance and basis of preparation 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in 
accordance  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards 
and  its  interpretations  (“IFRS”),  as  issued  by  the  International 
Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accounting policies have 
been  applied  consistently  to  all  periods  presented  in  these 
financial statements. 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  correspond  to  the 
classification provisions contained in IAS 1(revised), “Presentation 
of Financial Statements”. For clarity, various items are aggregated 
in the statements of income and statements of financial position. 
These items are disaggregated separately in the notes to the 
consolidated financial statements, where applicable. 

All amounts included in the consolidated financial statements 
are  reported  in  millions  of  Indian  rupees  (Rupees  in  millions) 
except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated. Due to 
rounding off, the numbers presented throughout the document 
may not add up precisely to the totals and percentages may not 
precisely reflect the absolute figures. 

(ii)   Basis of measurement 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on 
a historical cost convention and on an accrual basis, except for 

the following material items which have been measured at fair 
value as required by relevant IFRS:- 

a.  Derivative financial instruments; 

b. 

c. 

Available-for-sale financial assets; and 

The  defined  benefit  asset/(liability)  is  recognised  as  the 
present value of defined benefit obligation less fair value 
of plan assets. 

(iii)   Convenience translation (unaudited) 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared and reported in Indian rupees, the national currency of 
India. Solely for the convenience of the readers, the consolidated 
financial  statements  as  of  and  for  the  year  ended  March  31, 
2015,  have  been  translated  into  United  States  dollars  at  the 
certified foreign exchange rate of US$1 = ` 62.31, as published 
by Federal Reserve Board of Governors on March 31, 2015. No 
representation  is  made  that  the  Indian  rupee  amounts  have 
been, could have been or could be converted into United States 
dollars at such a rate or any other rate. 

(iv)   Use of estimates and judgment 

The  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  in 
conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, 
estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  application  of 
accounting  policies  and  the  reported  amounts  of  assets, 
liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from 
those estimates. 

Estimates  and  underlying  assumptions  are  reviewed  on  an 
ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized 
in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future 
periods  affected.  In  particular,  information  about  significant 
areas  of  estimation,  uncertainty  and  critical  judgments  in 
applying  accounting  policies  that  have  the  most  significant 
effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial 
statements are included in the following notes: 

a) 
Revenue recognition:  The Company uses the percentage of 
completion method using the input (cost expended) method to 
measure progress towards completion in respect of fixed price 
contracts. Percentage of completion method accounting relies 
on estimates of total expected contract revenue and costs. This 
method  is  followed  when  reasonably  dependable  estimates 
of  the  revenues  and  costs  applicable  to  various  elements  of 
the  contract  can  be  made.  Key  factors  that  are  reviewed  in 
estimating  the  future  costs  to  complete  include  estimates  of 
future  labor  costs  and  productivity  efficiencies.  Because  the 
financial  reporting  of  these  contracts  depends  on  estimates 
that are assessed continually during the term of these contracts, 
recognized  revenue  and  profit  are  subject  to  revisions  as  the

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRSAnnual Report 2014-15contract  progresses  to  completion. When  estimates  indicate 
that a loss will be incurred, the loss is provided for in the period 
in which the loss becomes probable. 

b)  Goodwill: Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually 
and when events occur or changes in circumstances indicate 
that  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  cash  generating  unit  is 
less  than  its  carrying  value. The  recoverable  amount  of  cash 
generating units is higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost 
to sell. The calculation involves use of significant estimates and 
assumptions which includes turnover and earnings multiples, 
growth rates and net margins used to calculate projected future 
cash  flows,  risk-adjusted  discount  rate,  future  economic  and 
market conditions. 

c) 
Income taxes: The major tax jurisdictions for the Company 
are India and the United States of America. Significant judgments 
are  involved  in  determining  the  provision  for  income  taxes 
including judgment on whether tax positions are probable of 
being sustained in tax assessments. A tax assessment can involve 
complex issues, which can only be resolved over extended time 
periods. 

d)  Deferred  taxes:  Deferred  tax  is  recorded  on  temporary 
differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and 
their  carrying  amounts,  at  the  rates  that  have  been  enacted 
or  substantively  enacted  at  the  reporting  date. The  ultimate 
realization  of  deferred  tax  assets  is  dependent  upon  the 
generation of future taxable profits during the periods in which 
those temporary differences and tax loss carry-forwards become 
deductible. The  Company  considers  the  expected  reversal  of 
deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in 
making  this  assessment. The  amount  of  the  deferred  income 
tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in 
the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the 
carry-forward period are reduced. 

Business  combination:  In  accounting  for  business 
e) 
combinations, judgment is required in identifying whether an 
identifiable intangible asset is to be recorded separately from 
goodwill. Additionally, estimating the acquisition date fair value 
of the identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities and contingent 
consideration  assumed  involves  management  judgment. 
These measurements are based on information available at the 
acquisition date and are based on expectations and assumptions 
that have been deemed reasonable by management. Changes 
in these judgments, estimates, and assumptions can materially 
affect the results of operations. 

f )  Other estimates: The  preparation  of  financial  statements 
involves  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported 
amount of assets, liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities 
at the date of financial statements and the reported amount of 
revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Specifically, the 
Company estimates the uncollectability of accounts receivable by 
analyzing historical payment patterns, customer concentrations, 
customer  credit-worthiness  and  current  economic  trends.  If 
the  financial  condition  of  a  customer  deteriorates,  additional 

allowances may be required. Similarly, the Company provides 
for  inventory  obsolescence,  excess  inventory  and  inventories 
with  carrying  values  in  excess  of  net  realizable  value  based 
on  assessment  of  the  future  demand,  market  conditions  and 
specific inventory management initiatives. If market conditions 
and  actual  demands  are  less  favorable  than  the  Company’s 
estimates, additional inventory provisions may be required. In all 
cases inventory is carried at the lower of historical cost and net 
realizable value. The stock compensation expense is determined 
based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments that will 
eventually vest. 

Non-marketable  equity  investments  are  initially  recorded 
at  cost  and  subsequently  measured  at  fair  value.  Fair  value 
of  investments  is  determined  using  the  market  and  income 
approaches. The market approach includes the use of financial 
metrics and ratios of comparable companies, such as revenue, 
earnings, comparable performance multiples, recent financial 
rounds and the level of marketability of the investments. The 
selection  of  comparable  companies  requires  management 
judgment  and  is  based  on  a  number  of  factors,  including 
comparable  company  sizes,  growth  rates,  and  development 
stages. The  income  approach  includes  the  use  of  discounted 
cash flow model, which requires significant estimates regarding 
the investees’ revenue, costs, and discount rates based on the 
risk profile of comparable companies. Estimates of revenue and 
costs are developed using available historical and forecast data. 

3.   Significant accounting policies 

(i)   Basis of consolidation 

Subsidiaries 

The Company determines the basis of control in line with the 
requirements of IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements. 

Subsidiaries  are  entities  controlled  by  the  Group. The  Group 
controls  an  entity  when  it  is  exposed  to,  or  has  rights  to, 
variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has 
the  ability  to  affect  those  returns  through  its  power  over  the 
entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in 
the consolidated financial statements from the date on which 
control commences until the date on which control ceases. 

All intra-Group balances, transactions, income and expenses are 
eliminated in full on consolidation. 

Equity accounted investees 

Equity  accounted  investees  are  entities  in  respect  of  which 
the  Company  has  significant  influence,  but  not  control,  over 
the  financial  and  operating  policies.  Interest  in  associates  is 
accounted  for  using  the  equity  method.  Under  the  equity 
method, the investment is initially recorded at cost. Subsequent 
to  initial  recognition,  the  consolidated  financial  statements 
include  the  Company’s  share  of  the  profit  or  loss  and  other 
comprehensive income (“OCI”) of equity accounted investees, 
until the date on which significant influence ceases.

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRSWipro LimitedNon-controlling interest 

Non-controlling interests in the net assets (excluding goodwill) 
of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the 
Company’s equity. The interest of non-controlling shareholders 
may  be  initially  measured  either  at  fair  value  or  at  the  non-
controlling interest’s proportionate share of the fair value of the 
acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement 
basis is made on an acquisition to acquisition basis. Subsequent 
to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interest 
is  the  amount  of  those  interest  at  initial  recognition  plus  the 
non-controlling interest’s share of subsequent changes in equity. 
Total  comprehensive  income  is  attributed  to  non-controlling 
interests even if it results in the non-controlling interest having 
a deficit balance. 

(ii)   Functional and presentation currency 

Items  included  in  the  financial  statements  of  each  of  the 
Company’s  entities  (including  equity  accounted  investees) 
are  measured  using  the  currency  of  the  primary  economic 
environment in which these entities operate (i.e. the “functional 
currency”).  These  consolidated  financial  statements  are 
presented in Indian rupees, the national currency of India, which 
is the functional currency of the Company. 

(iii)   Foreign currency transactions and translation 

a)  

Transactions and balances 

Transactions  in  foreign  currency  are  translated  into  the 
respective  functional  currencies  using  the  exchange  rates 
prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains 
and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions 
and  from  translation  at  the  exchange  rates  prevailing  at  the 
reporting date of monetary assets and liabilities denominated 
in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of income 
and reported within foreign exchange gains/(losses), net within 
results  of  operating  activities  except  when  deferred  in  other 
comprehensive  income  as  qualifying  cash  flow  hedge  and 
qualifying  net  investment  hedges.  Gains/(losses)  relating  to 
translation or settlement of borrowings denominated in foreign 
currency  are  reported  within  finance  expense  except  foreign 
exchange gains/(losses) on short-term borrowings, which are 
considered as a natural economic hedge for the foreign currency 
monetary assets and are classified and reported within foreign 
exchange  gains/(losses),  net  within  results  from  operating 
activities. Non monetary assets and liabilities denominated in 
foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated 
at  the  exchange  rate  prevalent  at  the  date  of  transaction. 
Translation  differences  on  non-monetary  financial  assets 
measured at fair value such as equities classified as available for 
sale are included in other comprehensive income, net of taxes. 

b)  

Foreign operations 

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, 
the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations 
that  have  a  functional  currency  other  than  Indian  rupees  are 

220

translated into Indian rupees using exchange rates prevailing at 
the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at 
the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences 
arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income 
and  held  in  foreign  currency  translation  reserve  (FCTR),  a 
component of equity. When a foreign operation is disposed off, 
the relevant amount recognized in FCTR is transferred to the 
statement of income as part of the profit or loss on disposal. 
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition 
of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the 
foreign operation and translated at the exchange rate prevailing 
at the reporting date. 

c)   Others 

Foreign  currency  differences  arising  on  the  translation  or 
settlement  of  a  financial  liability  designated  as  a  hedge  of  a 
net investment in a foreign operation are recognized in other 
comprehensive income and presented within equity in the FCTR 
to the extent the hedge is effective. To the extent the hedge is 
ineffective, such differences are recognized in the statement of 
income. When the hedged part of a net investment is disposed 
off,  the  relevant  amount  recognized  in  FCTR  is  transferred 
to  the  statement  of  income  as  part  of  the  profit  or  loss  on 
disposal. Foreign currency differences arising from translation 
of  intercompany  receivables  or  payables  relating  to  foreign 
operations,  the  settlement  of  which  is  neither  planned  nor 
likely in the foreseeable future, are considered to form part of 
net investment in foreign operation and are recognized in FCTR. 

(iv)   Financial instruments 

a)   Non-derivative financial instruments 

Non derivative financial instruments consist of: 

•	

•	

financial	assets,	which	include	cash	and	cash	equivalents,	
trade  receivables,  unbilled  revenues,  finance  lease 
receivables,  employee  and  other  advances,  investments 
in equity and debt securities and eligible current and non-
current assets; 

financial	liabilities,	which	include	long	and	short-term	loans	
and borrowings, bank overdrafts, trade payables, eligible 
current and non-current liabilities. 

Non  derivative  financial  instruments  are  recognized  initially 
at  fair  value  including  any  directly  attributable  transaction 
costs. Financial assets are derecognized when substantial risks 
and  rewards  of  ownership  of  the  financial  asset  have  been 
transferred.  In  cases  where  substantial  risks  and  rewards  of 
ownership  of  the  financial  assets  are  neither  transferred  nor 
retained,  financial  assets  are  derecognized  only  when  the 
Company has not retained control over the financial asset. 

Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  non  derivative  financial 
instruments are measured as described below: 

A.   Cash and cash equivalents 

The  Company’s  cash  and  cash  equivalents  consist  of  cash  on 
hand  and  in  banks  and  demand  deposits  with  banks,  which 

06_US Gap IFRS_182-232.indd   220

6/21/2015   4:10:15 PM

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRSAnnual Report 2014-15can be withdrawn at any time, without prior notice or penalty 
on the principal. 

For  the  purposes  of  the  cash  flow  statement,  cash  and  cash 
equivalents include cash on hand, in banks and demand deposits 
with banks, net of outstanding bank overdrafts that are repayable 
on  demand  and  are  considered  part  of  the  Company’s  cash 
management system. In the consolidated statement of financial 
position, bank overdrafts are presented under borrowings within 
current liabilities. 

B.   Available-for-sale financial assets 

The Company has classified investments in liquid mutual funds, 
equity securities (other than equity accounted investees) and 
certain  debt  securities  (primarily  certificate  of  deposits  with 
banks) as available-for-sale financial assets. These investments 
are  measured  at  fair  value  and  changes  therein,  other  than 
impairment  losses,  are  recognized  in  other  comprehensive 
income  and  presented  within  equity,  net  of  taxes.  The 
impairment  losses,  if  any,  are  reclassified  from  equity  into 
statement of income. When an available for sale financial asset 
is derecognized, the related cumulative gain or loss recognised 
in equity is transferred to the statement of income. 

C.  

Loans and receivables 

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with 
fixed  or  determinable  payments  that  are  not  quoted  in  an 
active market. They are presented as current assets, except 
for those maturing later than 12 months after the reporting 
date which are presented as non-current assets. Loans and 
receivables are initially recognized at fair value plus directly 
attributable  transaction  costs  and  subsequently  measured 
at  amortized  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method,  less 
any impairment losses. Loans and receivables comprise trade 
receivables,  unbilled  revenues,  cash  and  cash  equivalents 
and other assets. 

D.   Trade and other payables 

Trade and other payables are initially recognized at fair value, 
and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective 
interest method. For these financial instruments, the carrying 
amounts approximate fair value due to the short term maturity 
of these instruments. 

Derivatives  are  recognized  and  measured  at  fair  value. 
Attributable  transaction  costs  are  recognized  in  statement  of 
income as cost. 

Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial instruments 
are measured as described below: 

A.   Cash flow hedges 

Changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instrument 
designated  as  a  cash  flow  hedge  are  recognized  in  other 
comprehensive income and held in cash flow hedging reserve, 
net of taxes, a component of equity, to the extent that the hedge 
is effective. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, changes in 
fair value are recognized in the statement of income and reported 
within foreign exchange gains/(losses), net within results from 
operating activities. If the hedging instrument no longer meets 
the  criteria  for  hedge  accounting,  then  hedge  accounting  is 
discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires 
or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss 
on  the  hedging  instrument  recognized  in  cash  flow  hedging 
reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash 
flow  hedging  reserve  until  the  forecasted  transaction  occurs. 
The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash 
flow hedging reserve is transferred to the statement of income 
upon  the  occurrence  of  the  related  forecasted  transaction.  If 
the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, such 
cumulative balance is immediately recognized in the statement 
of income. 

B.   Hedges of net investment in foreign operations 

The  Company  designates  derivative  financial  instruments  as 
hedges of net investments in foreign operations. The Company 
has  also  designated  a  combination  of  foreign  currency 
denominated borrowings and related cross-currency swaps as 
a hedge of net investment in foreign operations. Changes in the 
fair value of the derivative hedging instruments and gains/losses 
on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated 
borrowings designated as a hedge of net investment in foreign 
operations  are  recognized  in  other  comprehensive  income 
and presented within equity in the FCTR to the extent that the 
hedge is effective. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, 
changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of income 
and reported within foreign exchange gains/(losses), net within 
results from operating activities. 

b)   Derivative financial instruments 

C.   Others 

The  Company  is  exposed  to  foreign  currency  fluctuations  on 
foreign  currency  assets,  liabilities,  net  investment  in  foreign 
operations and forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign 
currency. 

The  Company  limits  the  effect  of  foreign  exchange  rate 
fluctuations by following established risk management policies 
including  the  use  of  derivatives. The  Company  enters  into 
derivative  financial  instruments  where  the  counterparty  is 
primarily a bank. 

Changes in fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments 
neither  designated  as  cash  flow  hedges  nor  hedges  of  net 
investment in foreign operations are recognized in the statement 
of income and reported within foreign exchange gains/(losses), 
net within results from operating activities. 

Changes in fair value and gains/(losses) on settlement of foreign 
currency derivative instruments relating to borrowings, which 
have  not  been  designated  as  hedges  are  recorded  in  finance 
expense.

h)   Dividend 

a)  

Share capital and share premium 

The authorized share capital of the Company is ` 6,100,000,000 
divided into 2,917,500,000 equity shares of ` 2 each, 25,000,000 
preference  shares  of  `  10  each  and  150,000  10%  optionally 
convertible cumulative preference shares of `  100 each. Par 
value of the equity shares is recorded as share capital and the 
amount received in excess of par value  is classified as share 
premium. 

Every holder of the equity shares, as reflected in the records of the 
Company as of the date of the shareholder meeting shall have 
one vote in respect of each share held for all matters submitted 
to vote in the shareholder meeting. 

A  final  dividend,  including  tax  thereon,  on  common  stock 
is  recorded  as  a  liability  on  the  date  of  approval  by  the 
shareholders.  An  interim  dividend,  including  tax  thereon,  is 
recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the board 
of directors. 

(vi)   Property, plant and equipment 

a)   Recognition and measurement 

Property,  plant  and  equipment  are  measured  at  cost  less 
accumulated  depreciation  and  impairment  losses,  if  any.  Cost 
includes expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition of 
the asset. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction 
of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost. 

b)  

Shares held by controlled trust (Treasury shares) 

b)   Depreciation 

The Company’s equity shares held by the controlled trust, which 
is consolidated as a part of the Group are classified as Treasury 
shares. The Company has 14,841,271, 16,640,212 and 14,829,824 
treasury shares as of March 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. 
Treasury shares are recorded at acquisition cost. 

c)  

Retained earnings 

Retained earnings comprises of the Company’s undistributed 
earnings after taxes. A portion of these earnings amounting to 
` 1,139 is not freely available for distribution. 

d)  

Share based payment reserve 

The share based payment reserve is used to record the value 
of  equity-settled  share  based  payment  transactions  with 
employees. The  amounts  recorded  in  share  based  payment 
reserve are transferred to share premium upon exercise of stock 
options by employees. 

e)   Cash flow hedging reserve 

Changes  in  fair  value  of  derivative  hedging  instruments 
designated and effective as a cash flow hedge are recognized 
in other comprehensive income (net of taxes), and presented 
within equity in the cash flow hedging reserve. 

f)  

Foreign currency translation reserve 

The exchange differences arising from the translation of financial 
statements  of  foreign  subsidiaries,  differences  arising  from 
translation of long-term intercompany receivables or payables 
relating  to  foreign  operations,  changes  in  fair  value  of  the 
derivative hedging instruments and gains/losses on translation 
or  settlement  of  foreign  currency  denominated  borrowings 
designated  as  hedge  of  net  investment  in  foreign  operations 
are recognized in other comprehensive income, net of taxes and 
presented within equity in the FCTR. 

g)   Other reserves 

Changes in the fair value of available for sale financial assets is 
recognized in other comprehensive income (net of taxes), and 
presented within equity in other reserves. 

The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment over 
the estimated useful life on a straight-line basis from the date 
the assets are available for use. Assets acquired under finance 
lease  and  leasehold  improvements  are  amortized  over  the 
shorter of estimated useful life of the asset or the related lease 
term.  Freehold  land  is  not  depreciated. The  estimated  useful 
life of assets are reviewed and where appropriate are adjusted, 
annually. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows: 

Category
Buildings
Plant and machinery
Computer, equipment and software
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
Vehicles

Useful life  
28 to 40 years
5 to 21 years
2 to 7 years
3 to 10 years
4 to 5 years

When  parts  of  an  item  of  property,  plant  and  equipment 
have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate 
items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. 
Subsequent  expenditure  relating  to  property,  plant  and 
equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future 
economic  benefits  associated  with  these  will  flow  to  the 
Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. 

Deposits and advances paid towards the acquisition of property, 
plant and equipment outstanding as of each reporting date and 
the cost of property, plant and equipment not available for use 
before such date are disclosed under capital work- in-progress.

Business  combinations  are  accounted  for  using  the  purchase 
(acquisition)  method. The  cost  of  an  acquisition  is  measured 
as the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred or 
assumed and equity instruments issued at the date of exchange 
by  the  Company.  Identifiable  assets  acquired  and  liabilities 
and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination 
are  measured  initially  at  fair  value  at  the  date  of  acquisition. 
Transaction  costs  incurred  in  connection  with  a  business 
acquisition are expensed as incurred.

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRSAnnual Report 2014-15The  cost  of  an  acquisition  also  includes  the  fair  value  of  any 
contingent consideration measured as at the date of acquisition. 
Any  subsequent  changes  to  the  fair  value  of  contingent 
consideration classified as liabilities, other than measurement 
period  adjustments,  are  recognized  in  the  consolidated 
statement of income. 

b)   Goodwill 

The excess of the cost of an acquisition over the Company’s share 
in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and 
contingent liabilities is recognized as goodwill. If the excess is 
negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in 
the statement of income. 

made under operating leases are recognized in the statement of 
income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 

b)   Arrangements where the Company is the lessor 

In  certain  arrangements,  the  Company  recognizes  revenue 
from  the  sale  of  products  given  under  finance  leases. The 
Company records gross finance receivables, unearned income 
and the estimated residual value of the leased equipment on 
consummation of such leases. Unearned income represents the 
excess of the gross finance lease receivable plus the estimated 
residual  value  over  the  sales  price  of  the  equipment. The 
Company  recognizes  unearned  income  as  financing  revenue 
over the lease term using the effective interest method. 

c)  

Intangible assets 

(ix)  

Inventories 

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost of 
acquisition. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination 
are measured at fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following 
initial  recognition,  intangible  assets  are  carried  at  cost  less 
accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. 

The amortization of an intangible asset with a finite useful life 
reflects the manner in which the economic benefit is expected 
to be generated and consumed. Intangible assets with indefinite 
lives  comprising  of  brands  are  not  amortized,  but  instead 
tested for impairment at least annually and written down to the 
recoverable amount as required. 

The estimated useful life of amortizable intangibles are reviewed 
and  where  appropriate  are  adjusted,  annually. The  estimated 
useful lives of the amortizable intangible assets for the current 
and comparative periods are as follows: 

Category
Customer-related intangibles
Marketing related intangibles

(viii)   Leases 

Useful life 
5 to 10 years
5 to 10 years

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, 
a  lease  is  based  on  the  substance  of  the  arrangement  at  the 
inception  date. The  arrangement  is,  or  contains  a  lease  if, 
fulfillment  of  the  arrangement  is  dependent  on  the  use  of  a 
specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to 
use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly specified 
in an arrangement. 

a)   Arrangements where the Company is the lessee 

Leases of property, plant and equipment, where the Company 
assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are 
classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the 
lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present 
value  of  the  minimum  lease  payments.  Lease  payments  are 
apportioned between the finance charge and the outstanding 
liability. The finance charge is allocated to periods during the 
lease term at a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining 
balance of the liability. 

Leases  where  the  lessor  retains  substantially  all  the  risks  and 
rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Payments 

Inventories  are  valued  at  lower  of  cost  and  net  realizable 
value, including necessary provision for obsolescence. Cost is 
determined using the weighted average method. 

(x)  

Impairment 

a)  

Financial assets 

The  Company  assesses  at  each  reporting  date  whether  there 
is  any  objective  evidence  that  a  financial  asset  or  a  group  of 
financial  assets  is  impaired.  If  any  such  indication  exists,  the 
Company estimates the amount of impairment loss. 

A.  

Loans and receivables 

Impairment losses on trade and other receivables are recognized 
using separate allowance accounts. Refer Note 2 (iv) (f) for further 
information regarding the determination of impairment. 

B.   Available for sale financial assets 

When the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets declines 
below  acquisition  cost  and  there  is  objective  evidence  that 
the  asset  is  impaired,  the  cumulative  gain/loss  that  has  been 
recognized  in  other  comprehensive  income,  a  component  of 
equity in other reserves is transferred to the statement of income. 
An impairment loss may be reversed in subsequent periods, if 
the indicators for the impairment no longer exist. Such reversals 
are recognized in other comprehensive income. 

b) 

 Non financial assets 

The Company assesses long-lived assets such as property, plant, 
equipment  and  acquired  intangible  assets  for  impairment 
whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that 
the  carrying  amount  of  an  asset  or  group  of  assets  may  not 
be  recoverable.  If  any  such  indication  exists,  the  Company 
estimates  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  asset  or  group  of 
assets. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating 
unit is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell (FVLCTS) and 
its  value-in-use  (VIU).  If  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  asset 
or  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  cash  generating  unit  to 
which  the  asset  belongs  is  less  than  its  carrying  amount,  the 
carrying  amount  is  reduced  to  its  recoverable  amount. The 
reduction  is  treated  as  an  impairment  loss  and  is  recognized 
in the statement of income. If at the reporting date, there is an 

223

06_US Gap IFRS_182-232.indd   223

6/21/2015   4:10:15 PM

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRSWipro Limitedindication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer 
exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the impairment 
losses previously recognized are reversed such that the asset is 
recognized at its recoverable amount but not exceeding written 
down value which would have been reported if the impairment 
losses had not been recognized initially. 

Intangible  assets  with  indefinite  lives  comprising  of  brands 
are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least 
annually at the same time and written down to the recoverable 
amount as required. 

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually at the same 
time  and  when  events  occur  or  changes  in  circumstances 
indicate  that  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  cash  generating 
unit is less than its carrying value. The goodwill impairment test 
is performed at the level of cash-generating unit or groups of 
cash-generating units which represent the lowest level at which 
goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. An 
impairment in respect of goodwill is not reversed. 

(xi)   Employee benefits 

a)  

Post-employment and pension plans 

The  Group  participates  in  various  employee  benefit  plans. 
Pensions and other post-employment benefits are classified as 
either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. Under 
a  defined  contribution  plan,  the  Company’s  only  obligation 
is  to  pay  a  fixed  amount  with  no  obligation  to  pay  further 
contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay 
all employee benefits. The related actuarial and investment risks 
fall on the employee. The expenditure for defined contribution 
plans is recognized as an expense during the period when the 
employee provides service. Under a defined benefit plan, it is 
the  Company’s  obligation  to  provide  agreed  benefits  to  the 
employees. The related actuarial and investment risks fall on the 
Company. The present value of the defined benefit obligations 
is  calculated  by  an  independent  actuary  using  the  projected 
unit credit method. 

During the year ended March 31, 2014, the Company had applied 
IAS  19  (as  revised  in  June  2011)  Employee  Benefits  and  the 
related consequential amendments. IAS 19R has been applied 
retrospectively in accordance with transitional provisions. As a 
result, all actuarial gains or losses are immediately recognized 
in other comprehensive income, net of taxes and permanently 
excluded from profit or loss. Further, the profit or loss will no 
longer include an expected return on plan assets. Instead net 
interest recognized in profit or loss is calculated by applying the 
discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation to 
the net defined benefit liability or asset. The actual return on the 
plan assets above or below the discount rate is recognized as 
part of re-measurement of net defined liability or asset through 
other  comprehensive  income,  net  of  taxes. The  adoption  of 
IAS  19R  did  not  have  a  material  impact  on  the  consolidated 
financial  statements.  Also,  the  comparative  information  has 
not  been  restated  as  the  cumulative  effect  of  the  change  in 
the  accounting  policy  is  inconsequential  to  the  consolidated 
financial statements. 

224

The Company has the following employee benefit plans: 

A.   Provident fund 

Employees receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a 
defined benefit plan. The employer and employees each make 
periodic contributions to the plan. A portion of the contribution 
is made to the approved provident fund trust managed by the 
Company while the remainder of the contribution is made to 
the government administered pension fund. The Company is 
generally liable for any shortfall in the fund assets based on the 
government specified minimum rates of return. 

B.  

Superannuation 

Superannuation  plan,  a  defined  contribution  scheme  is 
administered by Life Insurance Corporation of India and ICICI 
Prudential  Insurance  Company  Limited. The  Company  makes 
annual contributions based on a specified percentage of each 
eligible employee’s salary. 

C.   Gratuity 

In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, applicable 
for Indian companies, the Company provides for a lump sum 
payment  to  eligible  employees,  at  retirement  or  termination 
of  employment  based  on  the  last  drawn  salary  and  years  of 
employment with the Company. The gratuity fund is managed 
by the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), HDFC Standard 
Life, TATA  AIG  and  Birla  Sun-life. The  Company’s  obligation  in 
respect of the gratuity plan, which is a defined benefit plan, is 
provided for based on actuarial valuation using the projected 
unit credit method. The Company recognizes actuarial gains and 
losses immediately in other comprehensive income, net of taxes. 

b)  

Termination benefits 

Termination benefits are expensed when the Company can no 
longer withdraw the offer of those benefits. 

c)  

Short-term benefits 

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an 
undiscounted basis and are recorded as expense as the related 
service  is  provided.  A  liability  is  recognized  for  the  amount 
expected  to  be  paid  under  short-term  cash  bonus  or  profit-
sharing plans, if the Company has a present legal or constructive 
obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided 
by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably. 

d)   Compensated absences 

The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated 
absences. The  employees  can  carry  forward  a  portion  of  the 
unutilized accumulating compensated absences and utilize it 
in future periods or receive cash at retirement or termination 
of  employment.  The  Company  records  an  obligation  for 
compensated  absences  in  the  period  in  which  the  employee 
renders  the  services  that  increases  this  entitlement.  The 
Company measures the expected cost of compensated absences 
as the additional amount that the Company expects to pay as a 
result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the end 

06_US Gap IFRS_182-232.indd   224

6/21/2015   4:10:15 PM

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRSAnnual Report 2014-15of the reporting period. The Company recognizes accumulated 
compensated absences based on actuarial valuation using the 
projected unit credit method. Non-accumulating compensated 
absences are recognized in the period in which the absences 
occur. The  Company  recognizes  actuarial  gains  and  losses 
immediately in the statement of income. 

(xii)   Share based payment transactions 

Selected employees of the Company receive remuneration in 
the form of equity settled instruments, for rendering services 
over a defined vesting period. Equity instruments granted are 
measured by reference to the fair value of the instrument at the 
date of grant. In cases, where equity instruments are granted at 
a nominal exercise price, the intrinsic value on the date of grant 
approximates the fair value. The expense is recognized in the 
statement of income with a corresponding increase to the share 
based payment reserve, a component of equity. 

The equity instruments generally vest in a graded manner over 
the vesting period. The fair value determined at the grant date is 
expensed over the vesting period of the respective tranches of 
such grants (accelerated amortization). The stock compensation 
expense  is  determined  based  on  the  Company’s  estimate  of 
equity instruments that will eventually vest. 

(xiii)  Provisions 

and  the  collectability  is  reasonably  assured. The  method  for 
recognizing revenues and costs depends on the nature of the 
services rendered: 

A.   Time and materials contracts 

Revenues and costs relating to time and materials contracts are 
recognized as the related services are rendered. 

B.  

Fixed-price contracts 

Revenues  from  fixed-price  contracts,  including  systems 
development  and  integration  contracts  are  recognized  using 
the “percentage-of-completion”  method.  Percentage  of 
completion is determined based on project  costs incurred  to 
date as a percentage of total estimated project costs required 
to complete the project. The cost expended (or input) method 
has  been  used  to  measure  progress  towards  completion  as 
there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. 
If  the  Company  does  not  have  a  sufficient  basis  to  measure 
the  progress  of  completion  or  to  estimate  the  total  contract 
revenues and costs, revenue is recognized only to the extent 
of contract cost incurred for which recoverability is probable. 
When total cost estimates exceed revenues in an arrangement, 
the estimated losses are recognized in the statement of income 
in the period in which such losses become probable based on 
the current contract estimates. 

Provisions  are  recognized  when  the  Company  has  a  present 
obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is 
probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required 
to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of 
the amount of the obligation. 

‘Unbilled  revenues’  represent  cost  and  earnings  in  excess  of 
billings as at the end of the reporting period. ‘Unearned revenues’ 
represent  billing  in  excess  of  revenue  recognized.  Advance 
payments received from customers for which no services have 
been rendered are presented as ‘Advance from customers’. 

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of 
the consideration required to settle the present obligation at 
the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks 
and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. 

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a 
provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the 
receivable is recognized as an asset, if it is virtually certain that 
reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable 
can be measured reliably. 

Provisions  for  onerous  contracts  are  recognized  when  the 
expected  benefits  to  be  derived  by  the  Company  from  a 
contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the 
future  obligations  under  the  contract.  Provisions  for  onerous 
contracts  are  measured  at  the  present  value  of  lower  of  the 
expected  net  cost  of  fulfilling  the  contract  and  the  expected 
cost of terminating the contract. 

(xiv) Revenue 

The  Company  derives  revenue  primarily  from  software 
development, maintenance of software/hardware and related 
services, business process services, sale of IT and other products. 

a)  

Services 

The Company recognizes revenue when the significant terms of 
the arrangement are enforceable, services have been delivered 

C.   Maintenance contracts 

Revenue from maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over 
the period of the contract using the percentage of completion 
method. When  services  are  performed  through  an  indefinite 
number  of  repetitive  acts  over  a  specified  period  of  time, 
revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the specified 
period unless some other method better represents the stage 
of completion. 

In certain projects, a fixed quantum of service or output units is 
agreed at a fixed price for a fixed term. In such contracts, revenue 
is  recognized  with  respect  to  the  actual  output  achieved  till 
date as a percentage of total contractual output. Any residual 
service unutilized by the customer is recognized as revenue on 
completion of the term. 

b)  

Products 

Revenue  from  products  are  recognized  when  the  significant 
risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer, 
continuing  managerial  involvement  usually  associated  with 
ownership  and  effective  control  have  ceased,  the  amount  of 
revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that economic 
benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company 
and  the  costs  incurred  or  to  be  incurred  in  respect  of  the 
transaction can be measured reliably.

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRSWipro Limitedc)   Multiple element arrangements 

a)   Current income tax 

Revenue from contracts with multiple-element arrangements 
are  recognized  using  the  guidance  in  IAS  18,  Revenue. The 
Company allocates the arrangement consideration to separately 
identifiable  components  based  on  their  relative  fair  values 
or  on  the  residual  method.  Fair  values  are  determined  based 
on  sale  prices  for  the  components  when  it  is  regularly  sold 
separately,  third-party  prices  for  similar  components  or  cost 
plus an appropriate business-specific profit margin related to 
the relevant component.

Revenue includes excise duty. 

The	Company	accrues	the	estimated	cost	of	warranties	at

amortized over the contract term. 

Contract	expenses	are	recognised	as	expenses	by	reference	
to the stage of completion of contract activity at the end 
of the reporting period. 

(xv)   Finance expenses 

Finance  expenses  comprise  interest  cost  on  borrowings, 
impairment losses recognized on financial assets, gains/ (losses) 
on  translation  or  settlement  of  foreign  currency  borrowings 
and changes in fair value and gains/ (losses) on settlement of 
related derivative instruments except foreign exchange gains/
(losses), net on short-term borrowings which are considered as 
a natural economic hedge for the foreign currency monetary 
assets which are classified as foreign exchange gains/(losses), 
net within results from operating activities. Borrowing costs that 
are not directly attributable to a qualifying asset are recognized 
in the statement of income using the effective interest method. 

(xvi) Finance and other income 

Finance  and  other  income  comprises  interest  income  on 
deposits, dividend income and gains / (losses) on disposal of 
available-for-sale financial assets. Interest income is recognized 
using  the  effective  interest  method.  Dividend  income  is 
recognized when the right to receive payment is established. 

(xvii) Income tax 

Income  tax  comprises  current  and  deferred  tax.  Income  tax 
expense  is  recognized  in  the  statement  of  income  except  to 
the extent it relates to a business combination, or items directly 
recognized in equity or in other comprehensive income. 

226

Current  income  tax  for  the  current  and  prior  periods  are 
measured  at  the  amount  expected  to  be  recovered  from  or 
paid to the taxation authorities based on the taxable income 
for the period. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the 
current tax amount are those that are enacted or substantively 
enacted by the reporting date and applicable for the period. The 
Company  offsets  current  tax  assets  and  current  tax  liabilities, 
where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized 
amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or 
to realize the asset and liability simultaneously. 

b)   Deferred income tax 

Deferred  income  tax  is  recognized  using  the  balance  sheet 
approach.  Deferred  income  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are 
recognized  for  deductible  and  taxable  temporary  differences 
arising  between  the  tax  base  of  assets  and  liabilities  and 
their  carrying  amount  in  financial  statements,  except  when 
the  deferred  income  tax  arises  from  the  initial  recognition  of 
goodwill  or  an  asset  or  liability  in  a  transaction  that  is  not  a 
business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable 
profits or loss at the time of the transaction. 

Deferred  income  tax  assets  are  recognized  to  the  extent  it  is 
probable  that  taxable  profit  will  be  available  against  which 
the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of 
unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized. 

Deferred  income  tax  liabilities  are  recognized  for  all  taxable 
temporary  differences  except  in  respect  of  taxable  temporary 
differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates 
and  foreign  branches  where  the  timing  of  the  reversal  of  the 
temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the 
temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed 
at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no 
longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to 
allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the 
tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset 
is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax 
laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the 
reporting date. 

The Company offsets deferred income tax assets and liabilities, 
where it has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets 
against current tax liabilities, and they relate to taxes levied by 
the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity, or 
on different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle 
the current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax 
assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously. 

(xviii) Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average 
number of equity shares outstanding during the period adjusted 
for treasury shares held. Diluted earnings per share is computed 

06_US Gap IFRS_182-232.indd   226

6/21/2015   4:10:15 PM

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRSAnnual Report 2014-15using  the  weighted-average  number  of  equity  and  dilutive 
equivalent  shares  outstanding  during  the  period,  using  the 
treasury stock method for options and warrants, except where 
the results would be anti-dilutive. 

(xix) Discontinued operations 

A  discontinued  operation  is  a  component  of  the  Company’s 
business  that  represents  a  separate  line  of  business  that  has 
been disposed off or is held for sale, or is a subsidiary acquired 
exclusively with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued 
operation  occurs  upon  the  earlier  of  disposal  or  when  the 
operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale. 

A demerger that is a business under common control is outside 
the scope of IFRS 3, Business Combination and IFRIC 17, Non-
Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations and 
can  be  accounted  using  either  carrying  values  or  fair  values. 
The Company accounts for such demergers at carrying value. 

New Accounting standards adopted by the Company: 

The  Company  has,  with  effect  from  April  01,  2014,  adopted 
the  following  interpretation  and  amendments  to  accounting 
standards. 

IFRIC 21 – Levies 

IFRIC  21  is  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after 
January 1, 2014 and is applied retrospectively. It is applicable 
to all levies imposed by governments under legislation, other 
than outflows that are within the scope of other standards (e.g., 
IAS 12 Income Taxes) and fines or other penalties for breaches 
of legislation. 

The interpretation clarifies that an entity recognizes a liability 
when the activity that triggers the payment of levy, as identified 
by  the  relevant  legislation,  occurs.  No  liability  needs  to  be 
recorded  towards  levy  that  will  be  triggered  by  operating  in 
a  future  period.  It  also  clarifies  that  a  levy  liability  is  accrued 
progressively only if the activity that triggers payment occurs 
over a period of time, in accordance with the relevant legislation. 
For a levy that is triggered upon reaching a minimum threshold, 
no liability is recognized before the specified minimum threshold 
is reached. The interpretation requires these same principles to 
be applied in interim financial statements. This has no impact 
on the Company. 

Amendments  to  IAS  32  Financial  instruments  –  Offsetting 
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities* 

Amendments to IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements, 
IFRS  12 – Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities and IAS 27 – 
Separate Financial Statements – Investment Entities* 

Amendments to IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets – Recoverable 
Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets* 

Amendments  to  IAS  39  –  Financial Instruments: Recognition 
and Measurement – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of 
Hedge Accounting* 

*  The  adoption  of  these  accounting  standards  including 
consequential amendments did not have any material impact 
on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. 

New accounting standards not yet adopted: 

A  number  of  new  standards,  amendments  to  standards  and 
interpretations are not yet effective for annual periods beginning 
after  1  April  2014,  and  have  not  been  applied  in  preparing 
these  consolidated  financial  statements.  New  standards, 
amendments to standards and interpretations that could have 
potential  impact  on  the  consolidated  financial  statements  of 
the Company are: 

IFRS 9 – Financial instruments 

In  July  2014,  the  IASB  completed  its  project  to  replace  IAS 
39,  Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and  Measurement  by 
publishing  the  final  version  of  IFRS  9:  Financial  Instruments. 
IFRS  9  introduces  a  single  approach  for  the  classification  and 
measurement  of  financial  assets  according  to  their  cash  flow 
characteristics  and  the  business  model  they  are  managed  in, 
and  provides  a  new  impairment  model  based  on  expected 
credit losses. IFRS 9 also includes new guidance regarding the 
application  of  hedge  accounting  to  better  reflect  an  entity’s 
risk management activities especially with regard to managing 
non-financial  risks. The  new  standard  is  effective  for  annual 
reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, while 
early  application  is  permitted. The  application  of  IFRS  9  may 
have a material impact on the classification, measurement and 
presentation of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities. The 
Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 9 on 
the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. 

IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. 

IFRS 15 supersedes all existing revenue requirements in IFRS 
(IAS  11  Construction  Contracts,  IAS  18  Revenue  and  related 
interpretations).  According  to  the  new  standard,  revenue  is 
recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services 
to  a  customer  in  an  amount  that  reflects  the  consideration 
to  which  the  entity  expects  to  be  entitled  in  exchange  for 
those goods or services. IFRS 15 establishes a five step model 
that  will  apply  to  revenue  earned  from  a  contract  with  a 
customer  (with  limited  exceptions),  regardless  of  the  type 
of revenue transaction or the industry. Extensive disclosures 
will  be  required,  including  disaggregation  of  total  revenue; 
information about performance obligation; changes in contract 
asset and liability account balances between periods and key 
judgments  and  estimates. The  standard  permits  the  use  of 
either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. 
The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or 
after  January  1,  2017;  early  application  is  permitted.  In  May 
2015, the IASB, through an exposure draft, proposed changing 
the  effective  date  to  periods  beginning  on  or  after  January 
1, 2018 instead of January 1, 2017. The Company is currently 
assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 15 on the Company’s 
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRSWipro Limited4.   Demerger  of  diversified  business  and  discontinued 

operations 

During the financial year 2012-13, the Company had initiated 
and completed the demerger of its consumer care and lighting, 
infrastructure engineering and other non-IT business segment 
(collectively, “the  Diversified  Business”).  The  scheme  was 
effective March 31, 2013 (“Effective Date”) after the sanction of 
the Honorable High Court and filing of the certified copy of the 
scheme with the Registrar of Companies. 

The results of the Diversified Business are as follows: 

Following the Effective Date, the Diversified Business is classified 
and  presented  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  as 
discontinued operation in accordance with IFRS 5 – Non-Current 
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. The Demerger 
is  considered  as  business  under  common  control  and  hence 
is outside the scope of application of IFRS 3 and International 
Financial  Reporting  Standards  Interpretations  (“IFRIC”)  17. 
Accordingly, assets and liabilities of the Diversified Business as 
on the Effective Date are at their carrying values.

conditions  pursuant  to  acquisition  of  Opus  Capital  Markets

Following  the  Demerger,  the  Company’s  remaining  two 
operating segments are IT Services and IT Products. 

Goodwill as at March 31, 2014 and 2015 has been allocated to

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually in accordance with 
the Company’s procedure for determining the recoverable value 
of such assets. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill 
is allocated to a CGU representing the lowest level within the 
Group at which goodwill is monitored for internal management 
purposes, and which is not higher than the Company’s operating 
segment. 

The recoverable amount of the CGU within IT Services segment is 
determined on the basis of Fair Value Less Cost To Sell (FVLCTS). 
The  FVLCTS  of  the  CGU  is  determined  based  on  the  market 
capitalization  approach,  using  the  turnover  and  earnings 
multiples derived from observable market data. The fair value 
measurement is categorised as a level 2 fair value based on the 
inputs in the valuation techniques used. 

The carrying value of goodwill allocated to the CGU within IT 
Products  segment  is  not  significant. The  recoverable  value  of 
this CGU has been determined using value-in-use (VIU). The VIU 
is determined based on discounted cash flow projections. Key 
assumptions on which the Company has based its determination 
of VIU include estimated cash flows, terminal value and discount 
rates. 

Value-in-use is calculated using after tax assumptions. The use 
of after tax assumptions does not result in a value-in-use that 
is materially different from the value-in-use that would result if 
the calculation was performed using before tax assumptions. The 
before tax discount rate is determined based on the value-in-use 
derived from the use of after tax assumptions.

Based on the above, no impairment was identified as of March 31, 
2014 and 2015 as the recoverable value of the CGUs exceeded the 
carrying value. Further, none of the CGU’s tested for impairment 
as of March 31, 2014 and 2015 were at risk of impairment. An 
analysis  of  the  calculation’s  sensitivity  to  a  change  in  the  key 
parameters (revenue growth, operating margin, discount rate 
and  long-term  growth  rate)  based  on  reasonably  probable 
assumptions, did not identify any probable scenarios where the 
CGU’s recoverable amount would fall below its carrying amount.

Summary of acquisitions made in 2013-14 is given below: 

As  of  March  31,  2015,  the  estimated  remaining  amortization 
period for intangibles acquired on acquisition are as follows: 

Opus Capital Markets Consultants LLC

LLC

Estimated remaining 
amortization period  
9.50 years
5.25 – 6.25  years

7.25 years
3.75 – 5.75 years

On January 14, 2014, the Company had obtained control of Opus 
Capital Markets Consultants LLC (“Opus”) by acquiring 100% of 
its share capital. Opus is a US-based provider of mortgage due 
diligence  and  risk  management  services. The  acquisition  has 
strengthened Wipro’s mortgage solutions and complemented 
our  existing  offerings  in  mortgage  origination,  servicing  and 
secondary market. 

The  acquisition  was  executed  through  a  share  purchase 
agreement for a consideration of ` 4,589 (US$ 75 million) which 
included  a  deferred  earn-out  component  of  `  1,285  (US$  21 
million), dependent on achievement of revenues and earnings 
targets over a period of 3 years. This earn-out liability was fair 
valued at ` 782 and recorded as part of preliminary purchase 
price allocation. 

During the current year, the Company concluded the fair value 
adjustments of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on 
acquisition. Consequently, the fair value of earn-out liability was 
recorded at ` 589. Comparatives have not been retrospectively 
revised as the amounts are not material.

The goodwill of ` 2,810 comprises value of expected synergies 
arising  from  the  acquisition.  Goodwill  is  not  expected  to  be 
deductible for income tax purposes. 

During the current year, the fair value of earn-out liability was 
determined to be ` 144 as a result of changes in estimates of 
revenue and earnings over the earn-out period. The revision of 
the estimates has inter alia resulted in reduction in the carrying 
value of intangibles recognized on acquisition. Accordingly, a 
net gain of ` 470 has been recorded in the statement of income. 

The  fair  value  of  earn-out  consideration  was  estimated  by 
applying  the  Discounted  Cash  Flow  approach. The  fair  value 
estimates  are  based  on  discount  rate  of  7%  and  probability 
adjusted revenue and earnings estimates. 

During the year ended March 31, 2015, an amount of ` 39 has 
been paid to the sellers representing earn-out payments for the 
calendar year 2014. 

The following table presents the allocation of purchase price: 

Summary of acquisitions made in 2014-15 is given below: 

ATCO I-Tek Inc. 

On August 15, 2014, the Company obtained control of ATCO 
I-Tek Inc., a Canadian entity, by acquiring 100% of its share 
capital and certain assets of IT services business of ATCO I-Tek 
Australia (hereafter the acquisitions are collectively referred to 
as ‘acquisition of ATCO I-Tek’) for an all-cash consideration of 
` 11,420 (Canadian Dollars 204 million). ATCO I-Tek provides 
IT  services  to  ATCO  Group. The  acquisition  will  strengthen 
Wipro’s  IT  services  delivery  model  in  North  America  and 
Australia. 

As part of conclusion of certain closing conditions, ` 349 has 
been  reduced  from  the  purchase  price.  Consequently,  the 
Company  concluded  the  fair  value  adjustments  of  the  assets 
acquired and liabilities assumed on acquisition.

The goodwill of ` 3,808 comprises value of expected synergies 
arising  from  the  acquisition.  Goodwill  is  not  expected  to  be 
deductible for income tax purposes. 

From the date of acquisition, ATCO I-Tek has contributed ` 6,301 
of  revenue  and  `  868  of  profit  after  taxes.  If  the  acquisition 
had  occurred  on  April  1,  2014,  management  estimates  that 

consolidated  revenue  for  the  Company  would  have  been  ` 
472,142 and the profit after taxes would have been ` 87,503 for 
twelve months ended March 31, 2015. The pro-forma amounts 
are  not  necessarily  indicative  of  the  results  that  would  have 
occurred if the acquisition had occurred on date indicated or 
that may result in the future.

The  Company  had  entered  into  interest  rate  swap  (IRS)  in 
connection with the unsecured external commercial borrowing. 

The  contract  governing  the  Company’s  unsecured  external 
commercial  borrowing  contain  certain  covenants  that  limit 
future  borrowings  and  payments  towards  acquisitions  in  a 
financial  year. The  terms  of  the  other  secured  and  unsecured 
loans and borrowings also contain certain restrictive covenants 
primarily requiring the Company to maintain certain financial 
ratios.  As  of  March  31,  2015,  the  Company  has  met  all  the 
covenants under these arrangements. 

A  portion  of  the  above  short-term  loans  and  borrowings, 
other secured term loans and obligation under finance leases 
aggregating to ` 6,467 and ` 8,694 as at March 31, 2014 and 2015, 
respectively,  are  secured  by  inventories,  accounts  receivable, 
certain property, plant and equipment and underlying assets. 
Interest expense was ` 868 and ` 768 for the year ended March 31, 
2014 and 2015, respectively for the continuing operations.

Particulars

For  the  financial  assets  and  liabilities  subject  to  offsetting  or 
similar arrangements, each agreement between the Company 
and the counterparty allows for net settlement of the relevant 
financial assets and liabilities when both elect to settle on a net 
basis. In the absence of such an election, financial assets and 
liabilities will be settled on a gross basis. 

Fair value 

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, 
unbilled revenues, trade payables, current financial liabilities and 
borrowings approximate their carrying amount largely due to 
the short-term nature of these instruments. A substantial portion 
of the Company’s long-term debt has been contracted at floating 
rates of interest, which are reset at short intervals. Accordingly, 
the  carrying  value  of  such  long-term  debt  approximates  fair 
value.  Further,  finance  lease  receivables  that  are  overdue  are 
periodically  evaluated  based  on  individual  credit  worthiness 
of customers. Based on this evaluation, the Company records 
allowance  for  expected  losses  on  these  receivables.  As  of 
March 31, 2014 and 2015, the carrying value of such receivables, 
net of allowances approximates the fair value. 

Investments in liquid and short-term mutual funds, which are 
classified as available-for-sale are measured using quoted market 
prices at the reporting date multiplied by the quantity held. Fair 
value  of  investments  in  certificate  of  deposits,  classified  as 
available for sale is determined using observable market inputs. 

The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined 
based on observable market inputs including currency spot and 
forward rates, yield curves, currency volatility etc. 

Fair value hierarchy 

Level  1  –  Quoted  prices  (unadjusted)  in  active  markets  for 
identical assets or liabilities. 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 
1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. 
as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). 

Level 3 – Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on 
observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The following table presents fair value hierarchy of assets and 
liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis: 

Assets
Derivative instruments

- Cash flow hedges
- Net investment hedges
- Others

Available for sale financial assets:

-  Investment in liquid and short-term   

mutual funds
-   Investment in certificate of deposit,

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate 
the fair value of the level 2 financial instruments included in the 
above table: 

Derivative  instruments  (assets  and  liabilities): The  Company 
enters  into  derivative  financial  instruments  with  various 
counterparties, primarily financial institutions with investment 
grade  credit  ratings.  Derivatives  valued  using  valuation 
techniques with market observable inputs are mainly interest 
rate  swaps,  foreign  exchange  forward  contracts  and  foreign 
exchange  option  contracts.  The  most  frequently  applied 
valuation techniques include forward pricing, swap models and 
Black Scholes models (for option valuation), using present value 
calculations. These models incorporate various inputs including 

the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and 
forward rates, interest rate curves and forward rate curves of the 
underlying. As at March 31, 2015, the changes in counterparty 
credit  risk  had  no  material  effect  on  the  hedge  effectiveness 
assessment  for  derivatives  designated  in  hedge  relationships 
and other financial instruments recognized at fair value. 

Available  for  sale  investments  (Investment  in  certificate  of

Derivatives assets and liabilities: 

The  Company  is  exposed  to  foreign  currency  fluctuations 
on  foreign  currency  assets  /  liabilities,  forecasted  cash  flows 
denominated in foreign currency and net investment in foreign 
operations. The Company follows established risk management 
policies,  including  the  use  of  derivatives  to  hedge  foreign 
currency  assets  /  liabilities,  foreign  currency  forecasted  cash 
flows  and  net  investment  in  foreign  operations. The  counter 
party in these derivative instruments is a bank and the Company 
considers the risks of non-performance by the counterparty as 
non-material.

As at March 31, 2014 and 2015, there were no significant gains 
or losses on derivative transactions or portions thereof that have 
become ineffective as hedges, or associated with an underlying 
exposure that did not occur. 

Sale of financial assets 

From time to time, in the normal course of business, the Company 
transfers accounts receivables, unbilled revenues, net investment 
in finance lease receivables (financials assets) to banks. Under the 
terms of the arrangements, the Company surrenders control over 
the financial assets and transfer is without recourse. Accordingly, 
such transfers are recorded as sale of financial assets. Gains and 
losses on sale of financial assets without recourse are recorded 
at the time of sale based on the carrying value of the financial 
assets and fair value of servicing liability. 

In certain cases, transfer of financial assets may be with recourse. 
Under arrangements with recourse, the Company is obligated 
to repurchase the uncollected financial assets, subject to limits 
specified in the agreement with the banks. These are reflected 
as part of loans and borrowings in the statement of financial 
position. 

Financial risk management 

General 

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, to fair values or 
to future cash flows that may result from a change in the price 
of  a  financial  instrument. The  value  of  a  financial  instrument 
may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign 
currency exchange rates and other market changes that affect 
market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all 
market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments, 
foreign currency receivables, payables and loans and borrowings. 

The  Company’s  exposure  to  market  risk  is  a  function  of 
investment  and  borrowing  activities  and  revenue  generating 
activities  in  foreign  currency. The  objective  of  market  risk 
management is to avoid excessive exposure of the Company’s 
earnings and equity to losses. 

Risk Management Procedures 

The Company manages market risk through a corporate treasury 
department, which evaluates and exercises independent control 

over the entire process of market risk management. The corporate 
treasury department recommends risk management objectives 
and policies, which are approved by senior management and 
Audit  Committee. The  activities  of  this  department  include 
management  of  cash  resources,  implementing  hedging 
strategies for foreign currency exposures, borrowing strategies, 
and ensuring compliance with market risk limits and policies. 

Foreign currency risk 

The Company operates internationally and a major portion of 
its business is transacted in several  currencies. Consequently, 
the  Company  is  exposed  to  foreign  exchange  risk  through 
receiving payment for sales and services in the United States 
and elsewhere, and making purchases from overseas suppliers 
in various foreign currencies. The exchange rate risk primarily 
arises from foreign exchange revenue, receivables, cash balances, 
forecasted cash flows, payables and foreign currency loans and 
borrowings. A significant portion of the Company’s revenue is in 
the U.S. Dollar, the United Kingdom Pound Sterling, the Euro, the 
Canadian Dollar and the Australian Dollar, while a large portion 
of costs are in Indian Rupees. The exchange rate between the 
rupee and these currencies has fluctuated significantly in recent 
years and may continue to fluctuate in the future. Appreciation 
of the rupee against these currencies can adversely affect the 
Company’s results of operations. 

The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from 
these transactions and enters into foreign currency derivative 
instruments to mitigate such exposure. The Company follows 
established  risk  management  policies,  including  the  use  of 
derivatives like foreign exchange forward/option contracts to 
hedge forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currency. 

The Company has designated certain derivative instruments as 
cash  flow  hedges  to  mitigate  the  foreign  exchange  exposure 
of  forecasted  highly  probable  cash  flows. The  Company  has 
also designated foreign currency borrowings as hedge against 
respective net investments in foreign operations. 

As  of  March  31,  2014  and  2015  respectively,  a  `  1  increase/
decrease in the spot exchange rate of the Indian rupee with the 
U.S. dollar would result in approximately ` 1,212 and ` 1,495 
decrease/increase  in  the  fair  value  of  foreign  currency  dollar 
denominated derivative instruments.

Interest rate risk 

Interest rate risk primarily arises from floating rate borrowing, 
including  various  revolving  and  other  lines  of  credit. The 
Company’s investments are primarily in short-term investments, 
which  do  not  expose  it  to  significant  interest  rate  risk. The 
Company manages its net exposure to interest rate risk relating 
to borrowings by entering into interest rate swap agreements, 
which  allows  it  to  exchange  periodic  payments  based  on  a 
notional amount and agreed upon fixed and floating interest 
rates. As of March 31, 2015, substantially all of the Company’s 
borrowings were subject to floating interest rates, which reset 
at short intervals. If interest rates were to increase by 100 bps 
from March 31, 2015, additional net annual interest expense on 
floating rate borrowing would amount to approximately ` 640. 

Credit risk 

Credit risk arises from the possibility that customers may not 
be  able  to  settle  their  obligations  as  agreed. To  manage  this, 
the  Company  periodically  assesses  the  financial  reliability  of 
customers, taking into account the financial condition, current 
economic trends, analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of 
accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly. No 
single customer accounted for more than 10% of the accounts 
receivable  as  of  March  31,  2014  and  2015,  respectively  and 
revenues for the year ended March 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, 
respectively. There is no significant concentration of credit risk. 

Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired 

Cash  and  cash  equivalents,  available-for-sale  financial  assets, 
investment  in  certificates  of  deposits  and  interest  bearing 
deposits  with  corporates  are  neither  past  due  nor  impaired. 
Cash  and  cash  equivalents  with  banks  and  interest-bearing 
deposits  are  placed  with  corporate,  which  have  high  credit-
ratings  assigned  by  international  and  domestic  credit-rating 
agencies.  Available-for-sale  financial  assets  substantially 
include investment in liquid mutual fund units. Certificates of 
deposit represent funds deposited with banks or other financial 
institutions for a specified time period. 

Financial assets that are past due but not impaired 

There is no other class of financial assets that is past due but 
not impaired except for receivables of ` 4,585 and ` 5,510 as of 
March 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Of the total receivables, ` 
59,927 and ` 67,997 as of March 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively, 
were neither past due nor impaired. The Company’s credit period 
generally  ranges  from  45-60  days. The  aging  analysis  of  the 
receivables has been considered from the date the invoice falls 
due. The age wise break up of receivables, net of allowances that 
are past due, is given below: 

Financial assets that are neither past 
due nor impaired
Financial assets that are past due but 
not impaired

Past due 0 – 30 days
Past due 31 – 60 days
Past due 61 – 90 days
Past due over 90 days

Counterparty  risk  encompasses  issuer  risk  on  marketable 
securities,  settlement  risk  on  derivative  and  money  market 
contracts and credit risk on cash and time deposits. Issuer risk is 
minimized by only buying securities which are at least AA rated 
in India based on Indian rating agencies. Settlement and credit 
risk is reduced by the policy of entering into transactions with 
counterparties  that  are  usually  banks  or  financial  institutions 
with acceptable credit ratings. Exposure to these risks are closely 
monitored and maintained within predetermined parameters. 
There are limits on credit exposure to any financial institution. 
The limits are regularly assessed and determined based upon 
credit  analysis  including  financial  statements  and  capital 
adequacy ratio reviews. 

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity  risk  is  defined  as  the  risk  that  the  Company  will 
not  be  able  to  settle  or  meet  its  obligations  on  time  or  at  a 
reasonable price. The Company’s corporate treasury department

is  responsible  for  liquidity  and  funding  as  well  as  settlement 
management.  In  addition,  processes  and  policies  related  to 
such risks are overseen by senior management. Management 
monitors the Company’s net liquidity position through rolling 
forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows. As of March 31, 
2015, cash and cash equivalents are held with major banks and 

financial institutions.

Amounts presented in

position:
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax liabilities

Deferred taxes on unrealized foreign exchange gain / loss relating 
to  cash  flow  hedges  is  recognized  in  other  comprehensive 
income and presented within equity in the cash flow hedging 
reserve. Deferred tax liability on the intangible assets identified 
and recorded separately at the time of an acquisition is recorded 
by an adjustment to goodwill. Other than these, the change in 
deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  is  primarily  recorded  in  the 
statement of income. 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company 
considers the extent to which it is probable that the deferred 
tax  asset  will  be  realized. The  ultimate  realization  of  deferred 
tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable 
profits during the periods in which those temporary differences 
and tax loss carry-forwards become deductible. The Company 
considers  the  expected  reversal  of  deferred  tax  liabilities, 
projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in 
making this assessment. Based on this, the Company believes 
that it is probable that the Company will realize the benefits of 
these deductible differences. The amount of deferred tax asset 
considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near 
term if the estimates of future taxable income during the carry-
forward period are reduced. Deferred tax asset amounting to ` 
2,096 and ` 1,858 as at March 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively 
in respect of unused tax losses have not been recognized by 
the Company.

The tax loss carry-forwards of ` 6,920 and ` 6,509 as at March 31, 
2014  and  March  31,  2015,  respectively,  relates  to  certain 
subsidiaries on which deferred tax asset has not been recognized 
by the Company, because there is a lack of reasonable certainty 
that  these  subsidiaries  may  generate  future  taxable  profits. 
Approximately, ` 5,869 and ` 4,971 as at March 31, 2014 and 
March  31,  2015,  respectively,  of  these  tax  loss  carry-forwards 
is not currently subject to expiration dates. The remaining tax 
loss carry-forwards of approximately ` 1,051 and ` 1,538 as at 
March  31,  2014  and  March  31,  2015,  respectively,  expires  in 
various years through fiscal 2035. 

The Company has recognized deferred tax assets of ` 4,207 and 
` 3,763 in respect of carry forward losses of its various subsidiaries 
as at March 31, 2014 and 2015. Management’s projections of 
future taxable income and tax planning strategies support the 
assumption that it is probable that sufficient taxable income will 
be available to utilize these deferred tax assets. 

Pursuant to the changes in the Indian income tax laws, Minimum 
Alternate Tax  (MAT)  has  been  extended  to  income  in  respect 
of  which  deduction  is  claimed  under  Section  10A,  10B  and 
10AA of the Income Tax Act, 1961; consequently, the Company 
has calculated its tax liability for current domestic taxes after 
considering  MAT. The  excess  tax  paid  under  MAT  provisions 
over and above normal tax liability can be carried forward and 
set-off  against  future  tax  liabilities  computed  under  normal 
tax  provisions. The  Company  was  required  to  pay  MAT  and 
accordingly, a deferred tax asset of ` 1,844 has been recognized 
in the statement of financial position as of March 31, 2014 and 
2015, which can be carried forward for a period of ten years from 
the year of recognition. 

A  substantial  portion  of  the  profits  of  the  Company’s  India 
operations are exempt from Indian income taxes being profits 
attributable to export operations and profits from undertakings 
situated in Software Technology, Hardware Technology Parks and 
Export Oriented units. Under the tax holiday, the taxpayer can 
utilize an exemption from income taxes for a period of any ten 
consecutive years. The tax holidays on all facilities under Software 
Technology,  Hardware Technology  Parks  and  Export  oriented 
units  has  expired  on  March  31,  2011.  Additionally,  under  the 
Special Economic Zone Act, 2005 scheme, units in designated 
special economic zones providing service on or after April 1, 2005 
will be eligible for a deduction of 100 percent of profits or gains 
derived from the export of services for the first five years from 
commencement of provision of services and 50 percent of such 
profits and gains for a further five years. Certain tax benefits are 
also available for a further five years subject to the unit meeting 
defined conditions. Profits from certain other undertakings are 
also eligible for preferential tax treatment. The tax holiday period 
being  currently  available  to  the  Company  expires  in  various 
years through fiscal 2028. The expiration period of tax holiday 
for each unit within a SEZ is determined based on the number 
of years that have lapsed following year of commencement of 
production by that unit. The impact of tax holidays has resulted 
in a decrease of current tax expense from continuing operations 
of ` 9,244, ` 11,043 and ` 11,412 for the years ended March 31, 

244

2013, 2014 and 2015 respectively, compared to the effective tax 
amounts that we estimate we would have been required to pay 
if these incentives had not been available. The per share effect 
of these tax incentives for the years ended March 31, 2013, 2014 
and 2015 was ` 3.77, ` 4.50 and ` 4.65 respectively. 

Deferred  income  tax  liabilities  are  recognized  for  all  taxable 
temporary differences except in respect of taxable temporary 
differences associated with investments in subsidiaries where 
the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be 
controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will 
not  reverse  in  the  foreseeable  future.  Accordingly,  deferred 
income  tax  liabilities  on  cumulative  earnings  of  subsidiaries 
amounting to ` 28,959 and ` 21,954 as of March 31, 2014 and 
2015,  respectively  has  not  been  recognized.  Further,  it  is  not 
practicable to estimate the amount of the unrecognized deferred 
tax liabilities for these undistributed earnings. 

The Company is subject to U.S. tax on income attributable to its 
permanent establishment in the United States due to operation 
of the U.S. branch. In addition, the Company is subject to a 15% 
branch profit tax in the United States on the “dividend equivalent 
amount” as that term is defined under U.S. tax law. The Company 
has not triggered the branch profit tax until year ended March 31, 
2015. The Company intends to maintain the current level of net 
assets in the United States commensurate with its operation and 
consistent with its business plan. The Company does not intend 
to repatriate out of the United States any portion of its current 
profits. Accordingly, the Company did not record current and 
deferred tax provision for branch profit tax. 

20.   Dividends 

The  Company  declares  and  pays  dividends  in  Indian  rupees. 
According  to  the  Companies  Act,  2013  any  dividend  should 
be  declared  out  of  accumulated  distributable  profits.  A 
company may, before the declaration of any dividend, transfer a 
percentage of its profits for that financial year as it may consider 
appropriate to the reserves. 

The cash dividends paid per equity share were ` 6, ` 8 and ` 
10  during  the  years  ended  March  31,  2013,  2014  and  2015, 
respectively, including an interim dividend of ` 2, ` 3 and ` 5 for 
the years ended March 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015. 

The  Board  of  Directors  in  their  meeting  on  April  21,  2015 
proposed a final dividend of ` 7 (U.S.$ 0.11) per equity share and 
ADS. The proposal is subject to the approval of shareholders at 
the ensuing Annual General Meeting of the shareholders, and 
if  approved,  would  result  in  a  cash  outflow  of  approximately 
`  20,739,  including  corporate  dividend  tax  thereon.  The 
proposed dividend has not been included as a liability in these 
consolidated financial statements. 

21.   Additional capital disclosures 

The  key  objective  of  the  Company’s  capital  management  is 
to ensure that it maintains a stable capital structure with the 
focus on total equity to uphold investor, creditor, and customer 
confidence and to ensure future development of its business. The 

06_US Gap IFRS_182-232.indd   244

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRSAnnual Report 2014-15Company focused on keeping strong total equity base to ensure 
independence, security, as well as a high financial flexibility for 
potential future borrowings, if required without impacting the 
risk profile of the Company. 

The Company’s goal is to continue to be able to return excess 
liquidity  to  shareholders  by  continuing  to  distribute  annual 
dividends  in  future  periods. The  Company  has  distributed  an 
interim dividend of ` 5 per equity share during the year ended 
March  31,  2015. The  Board  of  Directors  in  their  meeting  on 
April 21, 2015 proposed a final dividend of ` 7 (U.S.$ 0.11) per 
equity share and ADS. The proposal is subject to the approval of 
shareholders. The amount of future dividends will be balanced 
with efforts to continue to maintain an adequate liquidity status. 

The  capital  structure  as  of  March  31,  2014  and  2015  was  as 
follows:

The  Company  is  predominantly  equity-financed. This  is  also 
evident from the fact that loans and borrowings represented 
only 13% and 16% of total capital as of March 31, 2014 and 2015, 
respectively. Further, the Company has consistently been a net 
cash company with cash and bank balance along with available 
for sale investments being in excess of debt. The company is not 
subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

A reconciliation of profit for the year and equity shares used in 
the computation of basic and diluted earnings per equity share 
is set out below: 

Basic:  Basic  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing  the 
profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the 
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during 
the period, excluding equity shares purchased by the Company 
and  held  as  treasury  shares.  Equity  shares  held  by  controlled

Wipro Equity Reward Trust (“WERT”) and Wipro Inc Benefit Trust 
(“WIBT”) have been reduced from the equity shares outstanding 
for computing basic and diluted earnings per share. During the 
year ended March 31, 2015, WIBT sold 1.8 million shares of Wipro 
Limited. Earnings per share and number of shares outstanding 

for the year ended March 31, 2013, has been adjusted for the 
grant of 1 employee stock option for every 8.25 employee stock 
options held by each eligible employee in terms of the demerger 
scheme as on the Record Date.

Diluted: Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the 
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during 
the period for assumed conversion of all dilutive potential equity 
shares.  Employee  share  options  are  dilutive  potential  equity 
shares for the Company. 

The  calculation  is  performed  in  respect  of  share  options  to 
determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at 
fair value (determined as the average market price of the Company’s 
shares during the period). The number of shares calculated as above 
is compared with the number of shares that would have been 
issued assuming the exercise of the share options.

Wipro Equity Reward Trust (“WERT”) 

In 1984, the Company established a controlled trust called the 
Wipro Equity Reward Trust (“WERT”). In the earlier years, the WERT 
purchased shares of the Company out of funds borrowed from 
the Company. The Company’s Board Governance, Nomination 
and Compensation Committee recommends to the WERT certain 
officers and key employees, to whom the WERT grants shares 
from its holdings at nominal price. Such shares are then held by 
the employees subject to vesting conditions. The shares held by 
the WERT are reported as a reduction in stockholders’ equity.

The expected benefits are based on the same assumptions used to measure the Company’s benefit obligations as of March 31, 2015. 

Sensitivity for significant actuarial assumptions is computed to show the movement in defined benefit obligation by 0.5 percentage. 

As of March 31, 2015, every 0.5 percentage point increase/ decrease in discount rate will affect the gratuity benefit obligation by 
approximately ` 130. 

As of March 31, 2015 every 0.5 percentage point increase/ decrease in expected rate of salary increase will affect the gratuity benefit 
obligation by approximately ` 112. 

c)   Provident fund: 

Up to year ended March 31, 2011, in the absence of guidance from the Actuarial Society of India, actuarial valuation could not have 
been applied to reliably measure the provident fund liabilities. During the year ended March 31, 2012, the Actuarial Society of India 
issued the guidance for measurement of provident fund liabilities. 

The details of fund and plan assets are given below: 

Fair value of plan assets
Present value of defined benefit obligation
Net (shortfall)/excess

30.  Commitments and contingencies 

Operating  leases: The  Company  has  taken  office,  residential 
facilities  and  IT  equipment  under  cancellable  and  non-
cancellable operating lease agreements that are renewable on 
a periodic basis at the option of both the lessor and the lessee. 
The operating lease agreements extend up to a maximum of 
fifteen years from their respective dates of inception and some 
of these lease agreements have price escalation clause. Rental 
payments under such leases were ` 4,177, ` 4,583 and ` 4,727 
for the year ended March 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively 
in respect of continuing operations. 

Details  of  contractual  payments  under  non-cancelable  leases 
are given below: 

Not later than one year

than five years

`      10,878 `     11,942

Capital  commitments:  As  at  March  31,  2014  and  2015,  the 
Company had committed to spend approximately ` 778 and ` 
1,262 respectively, under agreements to purchase property and 
equipment. These amounts are net of capital advances paid in 
respect of these purchases. 

Guarantees:  As  at  March  31,  2014  and  2015,  performance 
and  financial  guarantees  provided  by  banks  on  behalf  of  the 
Company  to  the  Indian  Government,  customers  and  certain 
other agencies amount to approximately ` 22,864 and ` 21,234 
respectively, as part of the bank line of credit. 

Contingencies and lawsuits: In March 2004, the Company received 
a tax demand for year ended March 31, 2001 arising primarily on 
account of denial of deduction under section 10A of the Income 
Tax Act, 1961 (Act) in respect of profit earned by the Company’s 
undertaking in Software Technology Park at Bangalore. The same 
issue was repeated in the successive assessments for the years 
ended  March  31,  2002  to  March  31,  2010  and  the  aggregate 
demand is ` 46,515 (including interest of ` 13,673). The appeals 
filed against the said demand before the Appellate authorities 

have  been  allowed  in  favor  of  the  Company  by  the  second 
appellate authority for the years up to March 31, 2007. Further 
appeals have been filed by the Income tax authorities before 
the Honorable High Court. The Honorable High Court has heard 
and disposed-off the appeals up to years ended March 31, 2004. 
Order of the Honorable High Court is not yet received. 

On similar issues for years prior to years ended March 2001, the 
Honorable High Court in Karnataka has upheld the claim of the 
Company  under  section  10A  of  the  Act.  For  the  years  ended 
March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, the appeals are pending 
before Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (Tribunal). For year ended 
March 31, 2010, the Dispute Resolution Panel (DRP) allowed the 
claim of the Company under section 10A of the Act. The Income 
tax authorities have filed an appeal before the Tribunal. 

For  year  ended  March  2011,  the  Company  received  the  draft 
assessment order in March 2015, on similar grounds as that of 
earlier years, with a demand of ` 7,852 (including interest of ` 
2,547) for the year ended March 31, 2011. 

Considering the facts and nature of disallowance and the order 
of  the  appellate  authority/  Honorable  Karnataka  High  Court 
upholding  the  claims  of  the  Company  for  earlier  years,  the 
Company believes that the final outcome of the above disputes 
should be in favor of the Company and there should not be any 
material adverse impact on the financial statements. 

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which 
have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. The resolution 
of these legal proceedings is not likely to have a material and 
adverse  effect  on  the  results  of  operations  or  the  financial 
position of the Company. 

The  Contingent  liability  in  respect  of  disputed  demands  for 
excise duty, custom duty, sales tax and other matters amounts to 
` 2,560 and ` 2,338 as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. 

31.  Segment Information 

Following  the  demerger  of  the  Diversified  Business  (the 
“Demerger”),  the  Company  is  organized  by  the  following 
operating segments: IT Services and IT Products. 

IT  Services: The  IT  Services  segment  primarily  consists  of  IT 
Service offerings to customers organized by industry verticals 
as  follows:  Banking,  Financial  Services  and  Insurance  (BFSI),

Healthcare and Life Sciences (HLS), Retail, Consumer, Transport 
and Government (RCTG), Energy, Natural Resources and Utilities 
(ENU), Manufacturing and High-Tech (MFG), Global Media and 
Telecom  (GMT).  For  the  year  ended  March  31,  2015,  it  also 
includes Others which comprises dividend income and gains or 
losses (net) relating to strategic investments, which are presented 
within “Finance and other income” in the statement of Income. 
Key service offering to customers includes software application 
development  and  maintenance,  research  and  development 
services for hardware and software design, business application 
services,  analytics,  consulting,  infrastructure  outsourcing 
services and business process services. 

Following  the  Demerger,  to  align  with  industry  trends,  the 
Company  has  reported  IT  Services  revenue  and  results  by 
industry verticals beginning with the year ended March 31, 2014. 
The IT Services segment information for the comparative period 
(year ended March 31, 2013) by industry class of customers is 
not restated to reflect the above change since the meaningful 
segregation of the data is impracticable. However, as required 
under IFRS 8, the Company has presented segment information 
for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2015 on both the old 
basis and new basis of segmentation. 

IT Products: The  IT  Products  segment  sells  a  range  of Wipro 
personal  desktop  computers,  Wipro  servers  and  Wipro 
notebooks. The  Company  is  also  a  value  added  reseller  of 
desktops,  servers,  notebooks,  storage  products,  networking 
solutions  and  packaged  software  for  leading  international 
brands. In certain total outsourcing contracts of the IT Services 
segment,  the  Company  delivers  hardware,  software  products 
and other related deliverables. During FY 2013-14, the Company 
ceased the manufacturing of ‘Wipro branded desktops, laptops 
and servers’. Revenue relating to the above items is reported as 
revenue from the sale of IT Products. 

The  Chairman  of  the  Company  has  been  identified  as  the 
Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) as defined by IFRS 8, 
“Operating Segments.” The Chairman of the Company evaluates 
the  segments  based  on  their  revenue  growth  and  operating 
income. 

Assets  and  liabilities  used  in  the  Company’s  business  are  not 
identified to any of the operating segments, as these are used 
interchangeably between segments. Management believes that 
it  is  currently  not  practicable  to  provide  segment  disclosures 
relating  to  total  assets  and  liabilities  since  a  meaningful 
segregation of the available data is onerous.

Management  believes  that  it  is  currently  not  practicable  to 
provide disclosure of assets by segment, as they are not identified 
to any of the operating segments and meaningful segregation 
of the available information is onerous. 

The Company has four geographic segments: India, Americas, 
Europe and Rest of the world. The Americas refer to North and 
South America. Revenues from the geographic segments based

No  client  individually  accounted  for  more  than  10%  of  the 
revenues during the year ended March 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015. 

Management  believes  that  it  is  currently  not  practicable  to 
provide  disclosure  of  assets  by  geographical  location,  as 
meaningful segregation of the available information is onerous.

“Reconciling items” includes elimination of inter-segment 
transactions,  dividend  income/  gains/  losses  relating  to 
strategic investments and other corporate activities. 

Segment  result  represents  operating  profits  of  the 
segments and dividend income and gains or losses (net) 
relating  to  strategic  investments,  which  are  presented 
within “Finance  and  other  income”  in  the  statement  of 
Income. 

Revenues include excise duty of ` 79 and ` 2 for the year 
ended  March  31,  2014  and  2015,  respectively.  For  the 
purpose of segment reporting, the segment revenues are 
net of excise duty. Excise duty is reported in reconciling 
items. 

Revenue  from  sale  of  traded  cloud  based  licenses  is 
reported as part of IT Services revenues. 

For the purpose of segment reporting, the Company has 
included the impact of “foreign exchange gains / (losses), 
net” in revenues (which is reported as a part of operating 
profit in the statement of income). 

For  evaluating  performance  of  the  individual  operating 
segments,  stock  compensation  expense  is  allocated  on 
the  basis  of  straight  line  amortization. The  differential

impact of accelerated amortization of stock compensation 
expense over stock compensation expense allocated to the 
individual operating segments is reported in reconciling 
items. 

For evaluating the performance of the individual operating 
segments, amortization of customer and marketing related 
intangibles acquired through business combinations are 
reported in reconciling items. 

The Company generally offers multi-year payment terms 
in  certain  total  outsourcing  contracts. These  payment 
terms primarily relate to IT hardware, software and certain 
transformation services in outsourcing contracts. Corporate 
treasury provides internal financing to the business units 
offering multi-year payments terms. The finance income 
on deferred consideration earned under these contracts 
is included in the revenue of the respective segment and 
is eliminated under reconciling items.

Operating income of segments is after recognition of stock 
compensation expense arising from the grant of options:
