Annual Report 2015-16

DIGITAL TRANSFORMS EVERYTHING

Everyday  experiences  are  no  longer  what  they  used  to  be.    Buying  a 
car,  depositing  money,  booking  accommodation,  monitoring  fitness, 
trying on clothes and even telling the time are activities unrecognizable 
from just a few years ago.  New products and services promising greater 
relevance and higher value have transformed, at lightening speed, the 
way we live and work.

Our  world  is  exploding  with  data,  devices,  content  and  touchpoints.  
Increasingly, enterprises require more platforms, systems and processes 
to connect and make sense of the complexity and determine the ways 
in  which  brands  remain  relevant  to  first-time  buyers  and  long-time 
loyalists. This disruption is the new normal and there is no sign of this 
slowing  down.  As  a  result,  industries,  businesses,  consumers  and  our 
clients are experiencing fundamental challenges.  

No industry, business model or company can look the other way.  The 
average  lifespan  of  a  Fortune  500  company  has  dropped  from  75 
years to 15 years.  The unbundling of traditional products and services 
requires a change in how businesses operate and deliver relevance and 
value to consumers.

Business today needs to be redesigned and rebuilt for a world where 
experience  defines  value,  velocity  determines  growth  and  scale  is 
achieved not by big and few but by small and many.

The businesses that will succeed today are the ones that will offer new 
sources  of  values,  deliver  a  delightful  customer  experience,  adapt  at 
high velocity and tap innovation globally.

VALUE BEYOND

Businesses are created to offer value.  Now, value must go beyond the 
product,  service,  store  and  channel.    New  sources  of  value  are  found 
at the edge, on the periphery of existing domains, and once unlocked 
will deliver new sources of revenue and growth.  To find new sources of 
value one requires a new way of working, a multi-disciplinary approach, 
bringing together strategy, design and technology. 

When an engineer knows how to design, a strategist knows how to code 
or a designer knows how to roadmap organizational change, new ways 
of  colloborative  working  breakdown  traditional  siloed  and  inside-out 
thinking.  In its place grows an outside-in approach to defining products 
and services, one that is led and informed by the customer experience.  
Entirely  new  perspectives  now  create  the  most  compelling,  personal, 
relevant  and  meaningful  product  or  service.    These  experience-led 
enterprises, combined with high velocity and global scale, will be the 
ones to transform industries and deliver value beyond.

EXPERIENCE-LED

Successful  businesses  go  beyond  simply  delivering 
products  and  services.  They  design  and  deliver 
experiences  centered  around  the  customer,  not  a 
technology  or  business  process.  An  example  of  this 
approach is what we are doing at Chelsea Football Club 
to  transform  fan  experiences  in-stadium  on  game  day 
and beyond, harnessing digital to ensure there is no fan 
too far from the action. 

Not  only  does  this  require  an  outside-in  approach,  it 
requires  new  types  of  workers.    It  requires  talent  that 
is  x-shaped  (multi-skilled),  not  uni-disciplinary,  which 
brings complimentary but diverse skill sets. 

into  viable  propositions,  underpinned  by  intelligent 
operations and into the hands of customers. 

Therefore,  enabling  high  velocity  change  requires 
simplification of traditional development and operations 
practices.  Both  are  interrelated  and  complementary, 
but they differ in nature. Digitally fit operations reduce 
waste,  uncertainty  and  variation  in  order  to  create 
efficiency. Modern engineering disciplines cut feedback 
loops  through  automation,  allowing  teams  to  exploit 
uncertainty  and  variation  quickly  and  repeatedly 
throughout an adaptive design process. 

from 

failures 

We  help  our  clients  create  a  platform  to  learn  from 
experiments,  especially 
for  solving 
ambiguous  problems  and  exploiting  innovative  ideas. 
For  instance,  in  2015-16,  we  took  a  global  bank  from 
tightly coupled, fixed and interdependent systems to a 
responsive,  fluid  and  participative  architecture  capable 
of releasing new features and updates on demand. This 
resulted  in  improved  experiences  for  customers  and 
significant savings for the bank.

GLOBAL SCALE

Traditionally,  global  scale  is  thought  to  describe  size, 
breadth and presence around the world.  While any large 
multi-national  may  bring  this  type  of  scale  to  clients, 
global scale, for us,  means much more.  For us and our 
clients,  it  means  the  ability  to  innovate  at  global  scale.  
Innovation  may  come  from  a  startup  in  a  garage  half-
way around the world, an artificial intelligence platform 
like Wipro HOLMESTM, an unrelated industry setting new 
standards for customer experience or a small eco-system 
partner with big ambition. Today’s digital business needs 
to tap into all sources of traditional and non-traditional 
innovation. 

Because this is transformational, clients need a different 
method that goes beyond siloed, inside-out thinking.  We 
start with insights into customer needs and expectations 
–  insights  that  are  disruptive,  forward-looking  and 
unbound by standard industry expectations. Insights lead 
to dreaming and designing future experiences. Building, 
delivering  and  continuously  improving  experiences  at 
scale and with velocity completes the transformation of 
product-service experiences for customers.  

A large electronics client of Wipro believes, that in future, 
revenues will come from connected devices and not from 
products. This client relies on Wipro to support their end-

HIGH VELOCITY

In  a  rapidly  evolving  landscape,  Digital  businesses 
must  have  a  bias  towards  action.  Moving  away  from  a 
product-first  mindset  to  an  experience-first  mindset, 
companies need to embrace experimentation as well as  
rapid, reliable and continuous deployment. Competitive 
advantage  of  the  future  is  linked  to  better,  faster  and 
more relevant experiences.  
The  goal 
is  to 
experiences,  quickly  and  efficiently  shaping 

incrementally  craft  brand-defining 
ideas

to-end transformation, integrating internal and external 
value  chains  that  provide  new  sources  of  revenue  and 
new product-service experiences for consumers.   

DELIVERING AS BIG AS WE CAN DREAM

Our heritage lies in technology.  Wipro is known around 
the  world  for  deep  expertise  in  building  and  running 
is  changing.  Understanding 
systems.  Today,  Wipro 
technology is no longer enough. 

This  year,  Wipro  acquired  one  of  the  world’s  leading 
strategic  design  companies,  Designit,  and  invested 
internally to create Buildit™, a high caliber studio-based 
engineering capability. 

We  believe  design  is  not  simply  about  making  things 
look  good.    Strategic  design  makes  the  world  a  better 
place.  Strategic design fixes unusable systems, improves 
terrible experiences, innovates new services and creates 
products  that  go  beyond  category.  Put  simply,  design 
drives  human-shaped  products,  services  and  help 
radically simplify digital environments, in a future where 
there is no market for complicated.

Similarly, engineering great experiences is not something 
you  can  codify.  It  is  much  more  subtle,  complex  and 
elusive. It is a people thing - the right blend of talent, an 
effective  unit,  equipped  to  discover  and  create  things 
that matter to you and me.  For this, you need to create 

the  right  environment,  you  need  the  ability  to  figure 
out what’s not working when it’s not, and the ability to 
fix  it  so  it  does.   You  need  a  place  where  people  safely 
try, stumble, fall, learn, and try something else - quickly 
and often. The prize is special – an experience that, for 
a  moment,  delights  someone,  time  and  again.  A  good 
example  is  what  we  are  doing  for  a  global  technology 
company, where we are bringing the combined strength 
of our digital, engineering and Designit teams to redesign 
and reengineer how they work by creating a platform to 
develop  iteratively  and  deliver  lasting  product-service 
experiences in collaboration with their clients.

When  design  and  build  mindsets  are  fused  together, 
the  continuous  evolution  of  technology  results 
in 
experiences that no longer trail consumer behavior but 
rather  make  brand-defining  moments  and  create  new 
markets. Designing and building new experiences makes 
today’s businesses into human centric enterprises. When 
Digital is approached in this manner large, Digital drives 
large corporations to innovate like startups.

Strategic 

Combining  strategic  design  with  strategic  technology 
is our future.  Strategic design creates new experiences 
continuously. 
technology  brings  new 
experiences  into  the  hands  of  end-users  continuously. 
The  future  belongs  to  those  who  understand  that  it’s 
not about system specification but end-user expectation 
and experience.  The future belongs to those who Design 
it and Build it.  The future belongs to those who make it.

DESIGN  IS  NOT  SIMPLY  ABOUT 
MAKING  THINGS  LOOK  GOOD.  
STRATEGIC DESIGN MAKES THE 
WORLD A BETTER PLACE.

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER TO THE 
STAKEHOLDERS 

Dear Stakeholders,

The  global  economy  continued  to  recover,  albeit  at  a 
lower  trajectory  affecting  prospects  unevenly  across 
regions.  The sharp drop in oil prices in 2014-15 sustained 
through 2015-16, affecting the energy economy. US saw 
an  improving  labor  market  and  started  the  journey  of 
rate hikes. Continental Europe shows mixed trends even 
as many emerging market economies such as Brazil are 
under economic recession. China’s economy, in the midst 
of a structural adjustment, is a concern. India continued 
to  be  a  bright  spot  in  the  global  economy  with  the 
economy growing by 7.6%. Overall, the outlook is stable 
for economies that form key markets for Wipro.  

In 2015-16, Gross Revenues of the Company crossed the 
landmark of Rs. 50,000 crores and grew by 9% YoY. Net 
Income for the year grew by 3% YoY to Rs 8,892 crores.

Over  the  past  five  years,  our  organization  continued 
to  transform  into  a  next  generation  technology  and 
consulting  company,  with  defining  differentiators  in 
the  market. We  have  built  a  stronger  customer  facing 
organization,  increased  our  presence  and  wins  in  large 
deals,  developed  effective  capability  enhancement 
programs  for  employees  and  been  at  the  forefront  of 
technology changes. TK Kurien (TK), who led our Company 
as  the  CEO  till  January  31,  2016  has  been  appointed 
Executive Vice  Chairman,  effective  February  1,  2016.         

TK  will  focus  on  key  strategic  initiatives  while  also 
providing  continuity  on  client  relationships  without 
disruption.

We announced the appointment of Abidali Neemuchwala 
as  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Member  of  the  Board  of 
Wipro Limited effective February 1, 2016.   Abid joined 
Wipro  as  Group  President  &  Chief  Operating  Officer  on 
April 1, 2015. In a short span of time, he has established 
himself  as  a  tall  leader  and  won  the  respect  and 
acceptance of the leadership team. His track record with 
customers, passion for excellence and rigor in execution 
makes him uniquely positioned to lead Wipro through the 
next phase of growth.  

The  leadership  structure  is  in  place  and  this  has  been 
one of the smoothest transitions we have had in a CEO 
transition.  Both Abid and TK are working closely to build 
on  the  solid  foundation  we  have  developed  to  drive 
superior growth and profitability.

We are seeing pervasive change all around us.  Consumer 
expectations  and  experiences,  business  models, 
consumptions models and at times, entire industries are 
getting fundamentally transformed.

Digital is pervading all our lives. Experiences delivered on 
Digital technology not just by humans but also machines

quality STEM education at the K-12 levels in US schools.  
The  program  is  currently  running  in  Chicago,  New 
Jersey, New York and Boston. The program works in close 
collaboration in over 20 school districts wherein 250-350 
teachers  go  through  a  2  year  fellowship  with  intense 
support to develop their capacities to be better teachers 
and change leaders. The current commitment of Wipro to 
these programs is about USD 8 million.

Wipro Cares engages with our proximate communities on 
the issues of Education for the Underprivileged, Primary 
Health-Care and Environment. Wipro Cares also works on 
long-term  rehabilitation  of  affected  communities  after 
natural  disasters. Wipro  Cares  encourages  employees 
participation  by  contributing  their  time  as  well  as 
donations. Wipro makes a matching contribution to the 
donations.

As  corporations  continue  to  play  their  role  of  driving  
responsible,  sustainable  businesses,  I  firmly  believe 
that owners of corporates are trustees of wealth, which 
needs to be used for furthering social causes. As I have 
mentioned  before,  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 University and our grant making arm, 
Azim Premji Philanthropic Initiatives. As a result of this, 
the excellence in business performance at Wipro  would 
translate into value creation for shareholders, a substantial 
portion of which would be towards social causes. 

In  2015-16, Wipro  achieved  the  milestone  of  its  70th 
anniversary and moved into its 71st year. At this juncture, 
I am grateful to all stakeholders- customers, employees, 
suppliers,  partners  and  investors  –  for  their  continuing 
support to Wipro. 

Very Sincerely,

Azim Premji

is increasingly commonplace.

At Wipro, the concept of a Digital business is founded on 
three principles:  it is experience-led, runs at high velocity, 
is of  global scale and leverages the use of robotics.  This 
definition  of  a  Digital  business  requires  new  business 
models, new ways of working and integrated capability 
across strategy, design and technology.

We invested in significantly up-skilling our employees in 
Digital technologies to be able to service this demand. 
We  are  also  focused  on  increasing  the  diversity  and 
globalization  of  our  workforce. Today,  our  workforce 
comprises  employees  from  100+  nationalities.  32%  of 
our  employees  are  women. We  have  more  than  31,000 
employees  outside  India,  out  of  which  42%  are  locally 
hired. We  are  investing  in  building  multiple  innovation 
and delivery centers across the globe. 

We have always strived to enhance stakeholder value for 
investors. The Company’s philosophy is to provide regular, 
stable and consistent payouts. In line with this philosophy, 
we announced a share buyback through a tender offer 
amounting to Rs 25,000 million in addition to dividends 
of Rs.6 per share.  For the year 2015-16, dividends declared 
and proposed, combined with the buyback amount will 
enhance the payout ratio to 48% from 41% for the year 
2014-15. 

Just as financial capital is important for a firm, so is human 
capital,  natural  capital,  social  and  relationship  capital. 
In  this  year’s  Annual  Report,  we  have  articulated  the 
overall performance of the Company across these forms 
of  capital  stock.  At  the  core  of  this  articulation  is  the 
integration of social and environment parameters within 
the management discussion and analysis, in addition to 
financial performance.  

We  continue  to  run  very  effective  programs  related  to 
community  and  education  domains. Wipro  Applying 
Thought  in  Schools  is Wipro’s  social  initiative  in  school 
education that aims to build capacities for systemic reform 
in India and has been running for over 15 years. 

Wipro-earthian is Wipro’s Sustainability Education Program 
which seeks to support and drive sustainability thinking 
and  action  through  the  learning  process  in  school  and 
colleges across India. The program completed 5 years in 
2015 and we achieved wide geographical representation 
in 21 states, 45 districts and increased our reach to 2,000 
schools, 1,500 colleges and 2,200 teachers.

We  started  the Wipro  Science  Education  Fellowship 
(SEF) in the US in 2013. The key focus is to facilitate high

VICE-CHAIRMAN’S LETTER TO 
THE STAKEHOLDERS 

Dear Stakeholders,

Last  year  was  a  momentous  year  for  the  technology 
industry. The discontinuities, which I have been talking 
about  in  my  previous  interactions,  is  fast  approaching. 
Across the board, industries will undergo a fundamental 
transformation that will not only create new markets, but 
also give rise to new competitors who will operate with a 
belief that traditional boundaries do not apply to them. 
Enterprises that have used the web as just another sales 
channel are now going to find that new-age enterprises 
leverage simplicity and the power of technology to reach 
the customer directly - with more customized offerings 
and delivery channels, at lower costs and often in units 
of one. Concepts of mass marketing and scale that have 
driven  enterprises  for  over  200  years,  are  now  being 
challenged.

To respond to this challenge, enterprises have to transform 
not  just  their  Sales  and  Supply  chain  channels  but 
also  create  the  culture  to  access  the  larger  ecosystem 
seamlessly.  Likewise,  organizations  need  to  build 
capability  to  harness  the  power  of  ideas  from  not  just 
within, but from anywhere in the world. The other critical 
change for organizations is that technology is no longer 
a  support  function  that  can  be  handed  over  to  a  Chief 
Technology Officer - it is front and center of all that is going 
to happen. In a way, the power to harness technology to 
deliver dramatic impact is increasingly becoming a critical 

skill across functions and levels.

It is sometimes easy to get fascinated or scared by these 
changes. Building perspective over a longer time frame, 
enables us to better understand the current dynamic and 
define steps that technology companies like us need to 
take, to remain relevant.

Information Technology,  in  its  early  days,  used  to  be  a 
mechanism for processing data efficiently at large scale 
and  was  used  as  a  system  of  record.  Over  time,  this 
led  to  improved  process  orchestration  with  seamless 
flow  of  information  to  drive  back-office  enterprise 
applications,  ultimately  leading  to  the  internet  being 
central to consumer engagement. Technology capability 
has changed further with new paradigms - end-to-end 
digitization,  cloud-based  delivery,  actionable  insights 
from  Artificial  Intelligence  (AI),  and  lastly  mobility 
becoming  central  to  user-engagement.  Going  forward, 
business success will be increasingly driven by creative 
integration of these capabilities across processes. As an 
instance, the industry will see the growing rise of robots 
that will slowly integrate into the traditional workforce. 
Traditional  manufacturing  is  now  already  feeling  the 
impact of additive manufacturing. In adjacent areas of the 
value chain, supply chains are getting disrupted by drones 
and service management by virtual reality.

remain steadfast to our core values that we have observed 
over  the  last  70  years  -  customer  centricity,  employee 
sensitivity, integrity and sustainable development.

I  feel  very  confident  that Wipro  is  well  placed  for  its 
next  phase  of  growth,  with  Abid  at  the  helm.  He  has 
demonstrated  a  deep  understanding  of  technology, 
business  vision,  and  an  innate  ability  to  bring  people 
together for a common purpose.

Let me close by thanking all of you for your support when I 
was the CEO. In my new role as Vice-Chairman, I am excited 
to enable Abid achieve the goals he has articulated for the 
company. I look forward to your continued support as we 
embark with renewed zeal on our journey.

Very Sincerely,

T K Kurien

Given  this  context,  technology  decisions  are  being 
increasingly  made  by  business  users  leading  to  a  new 
set  of  expectations  and  purchase  constructs. We  see 
many  enterprises  working  around  developing  an 
optimal operating model to address this - to balance the 
efficiency from a traditional IT division with the innovation 
opportunity arising from a deeper business linkage.

These  disruptions  demand  Technology  Consulting 
organizations like ours to execute along two key themes- 

•	

•	

Engage closely with business users for new business 
models that makes them more successful

Relook operations in traditional delivery to improve 
efficiency & drive out cost on an accelerated basis 

It  will  also  be  critical  to  help  our  customers  through 
the  cultural  and  organizational  change  that  these  new 
business models bring.

We  believe  that  to  deliver  sustainable  impact  to  our 
customers, we will need to build deeper competency in 
selected business processes - leveraging a combination 
of  process  knowledge,  AI  and  automation.  Given  the 
complexity of skills required to achieve a holistic view, we 
have merged Consulting with Digital practice. 

We  are  now  focused  around  building  algorithmic 
capability and hyper-automation to significantly reduce 
cycle time for delivery, improve quality and reduce cost. 
We  have  invested  in  developing  targeted  use  cases 
leveraging AI - our cognitive intelligence platform Holmes  
has  been  deployed  in  over  18  customer  engagements. 
Additionally,  we  have  made  targeted  acquisitions  to 
deepen customer presence and acquire capability in high 
growth areas including platform-based services, Big Data, 
Cyber Security and Internet of Things.

On the people front, we are driving significant retraining 
efforts  to  ensure  that  our  workforce  skills  are  in  line 
with  new  business  expectations.  Our  organizational 
structure is also undergoing changes as we drive process 
simplification and reduce the number of layers to allow 
for greater business agility. 

These shifts have fundamental implications for Wipro and 
require that we need to rewire ourselves for this new age. 
Over the past few decades, we have been successful in 
identifying  waves  and  benefiting  from  the  disruptions. 
This inherent DNA gives me the confidence that we will 
be  able  to  make  the  right  adjustments  to  thrive  in  the 
current disruption.

In  the  midst  of  this  churn,  let  me  reiterate  that  we  will

CEO’S LETTER TO THE 
STAKEHOLDERS 

Dear Stakeholders,

It  is  an  honor  and  privilege  to  be  asked  to  lead Wipro,  a 
company with a rich heritage of technology and innovation 
that is built on a foundation of ethics and responsibility.

I  would  like  to  thank  our  Chairman  Azim  Premji  and  the 
Board  of  Directors  for  reposing  confidence  in  me. The 
Company has benefitted immensely from the leadership of 
my predecessor, TK Kurien, and I thank him for building a 
deep leadership bench that I can benefit from coming in, and 
executing one of the Company’s most seamless leadership 
transitions.

The business world, in the recent past, has seen tremendous 
technology  led  business  disruptions.  One  common 
takeaway  is  that  it  is  no  longer  about  the  product;  it  is 
about the experience. An example of this is how online cab 
aggregators  have  changed  the  user  experience  of  a  cab 
ride. The innovations that make these experience happen 
are disrupting the old order. Winning in the new world thus 
requires new business models, agile ways of working and a 
fresh strategy, design and technology vision. 

It  is  in  the  context  of  this  business  and  technology 
environment  and  market  opportunity  that  we  have  set 
out  our  vision,  which  is: “To  earn  our  Clients’  trust  and 
maximize value of their businesses by providing solutions 
that integrate deep industry insights, leading technologies 
and best in class execution”.

Our  ambition  is  to  achieve  $15  billion  in  revenues  with 
23% Operating Margins by 2020 in our IT Services business 
segment. While the ambition is aggressive, it is an aspiration 
that your company’s leadership believes in. It is making us 
look at things differently, breaking away from the thinking 
that constrained us and is yet grounded in reality – because 
the opportunity for such growth exists in the market.

To  deliver  on  this  ambition,  we  have  a  sound  strategy, 
leveraging our strengths to differentiate in the market and 
being relevant to our client’s current and future needs. 

Our strategy is based on two themes – “Modernize the Core” 
of our clients’ business (Run Strategy) and help our clients’ 
“Drive the Future” (Change Strategy) of their businesses. 

Modernize  the  Core  (RUN)  - We  will  continue  to  drive 
market share in our core businesses through the following 
key themes:

Integrated domain and technology services and solutions 
(IT  and  Ops)  across  prioritized  verticals,  service  lines  and 
geographies. This is helping us deliver improved productivity 
and  efficiency  gains  to  our  clients  and  in  turn,  enhance 

our footprint and wallet share within the client landscape 
through  cross-selling  multiple  services  to  provide  an 
integrated  solution. We  are  also  investing  in  innovative 
business models like BPaaS (business process as a service) 
that integrates across IT Infrastructure, Application Platforms 
and Business Operations and provides consumption based 
pricing to our clients.

Simplification  of  the  client  technology  landscape  by 
elimination  of  legacy  activities  and  hyper-automation 
leveraging Wipro’s own IP, our cognitive intelligence platform 
Wipro  HOLMESTM  as  well  as  third  party  IP  through  our 
alliances with various automation providers. Over the last 
12 months, we have implemented simplification programs 
and hyper automation across 42 existing clients and are able 
to significantly differentiate our proposition to new clients.  

A key enabler to building capability and scale is working with 
the larger Partner ecosystem viz. M&A, start-ups, alliances, 
academia and other strategic partnerships. Over the last 12 
months, we have established key engagement models with 
our Partners and our clients are able to see the benefit of such 
a Partner eco-system enabling us to win and deliver complex 
system  integration  and  transformation  engagements  like 
postal  systems,  airport  maintenance  and  market  utilities 
within financial services and other industries.

Localization is key to respond to the current market demand 
and  socio-economic  environment. We  are  driving  higher 
localization  in  all  key  markets.  In  2015-16,  we  enhanced 
our  local  presence  in  Continental  Europe  through  the 
acquisition of cellent AG. Within US and UK, we are setting 
up innovation and delivery centers in Atlanta, Dallas, New 
York, Mountain View, London, Reading and Edinburgh. We 
continue  to  localize  our  workforce  in  all  our  key  markets 
through campus and lateral hiring as well as invest in delivery 
centers in growth markets such as Latin America, Canada, 
Africa, Middle East, Japan and Australia.

Drive  the  future  (CHANGE)  -  We  will  drive  the  CHANGE 
strategy through the following key themes:

We  are  investing  in  building  digital  advisory,  design, 
technology and engineering capabilities with business and 
IT stakeholders leveraging our investments in Designit and 
Digital Pods. Earlier this year, we integrated our Consulting 
practive  under  our  Digital  practice. This  enables  us  (1)  to 
engage  with  the  client’s  business  stakeholders  and  be  in 
the forefront of shaping tomorrow’s business models. (2) to 
generate consultative led demand in Digital  since selling 
Digital  is  fundamentally  different  from  how  traditional  IT 
services have historically been sold. Our recent acquisition 
of strategic design firm Designit, remains at the core of this 
strategy as this new approach completely  changes the way 

14

Annual Report 2015-16

we engage with our client stakeholders in transforming their 
business. A great example of this is the recent wins we have 
had in key clients in the banking and consumer space where 
Wipro was named the clients’ Digital partner.

Driving IP based Non Linear revenues is another strategic 
priority  and  along  with  investments  in  AI,  Open  Stacks 
and  IoT,  we  will  be  able  to  provide  our  customers  with 
solutions to help transform their business. Wipro HOLMESTM 
is focused on solving key enterprise business use cases by 
deploying  cognition  into  IT  and  Business  processes.   We 
have  completed  pilots  and  proof  of  concepts  across  18 
engagements and received extremely positive feedback on 
deploying Wipro HOLMESTM. We plan to scale the number of 
use cases significantly.

M&A continues to be a key lever to acquire strategic assets 
to  accelerate  execution  of  our  strategy. We  announced  4 
acquisitions  and  closed  3  within  FY16. These  acquisitions 
have  already  started  showing  early  signs  of  success. We 
invested in acquiring HealthPlan Services, a business with 
market-leading technology platforms and a fully integrated 
Business Process as a Service solution to Health Insurance 
companies  globally  apart  from  cellent  AG  and  Designit. 
Our  investments  in  innovative  companies  through  Wipro 
Ventures allow us to tap innovation early. We have made 6 
such investments with a committed spend of $20 million in 
the areas of Big Data & Analytics, AI, the IoT and Security. Our 
H2/H3 programs organically incubate capabilities, solutions 
and  platforms  in  emerging  areas.  In  FY16,  we  funded  13 
such areas.

The key to a successful strategy is disciplined execution. The 
execution of the strategy is monitored through the strategy 
and  execution  office. We  have  defined  various  input  and 
outcome markers which are internally published monthly 
for the leadership to ensure that all aspects of our strategic 
priorities are being executed with rigor.

Finance, HR and People Transformation, M&A and Marketing 
act as the key enablers for the execution of our strategy. We 
have  identified  23  key  client  themes  on  technology  and 
business  and  named  23  key  leaders  across  the  Company 
to  lead  these  client  themes  cutting  across  traditional 
organizational  structure  to  transform  the  organization 
towards the new, while we continue to focus on delivering 
the  current  without  distraction.   The  leadership  teams 
are  collaboratively  working  together  and  are  aligning  to 
the  concept  of  One  Amazing Wipro  where  we  are  able 
to  bring  to  our  clients  and  employees,  the  power  of  the 
entire organization in a unified way opening tremendous 
opportunities to bring value.

Enterprise transformations of the magnitude your company 
is  undergoing,  need  intervention  programs  focused  on 
behavior  and  new  ways  of  working.  Over  the  past  few 
months,  we  have  launched  various  initiatives  such  as 
Newton’s  Cradle,  DRIVE,  OneVoice,  ADROIT,  PRISM  and 
TopGear  focused  at  various  employee  segments  across 
sales,  delivery,  middle  management,  bench,  technology 
and domain teams to transform all facets of our workforce 
to behave as an integrated, responsive, mobile and digital 
workforce. At the same time, we have simplified more than 

75  business  processes  to  empower  our  employees  and 
increase their productivity. We continue to make investments 
aligned to our business imperatives to create a One Amazing 
Wipro that has the speed of a startup. We saw an example 
of  One  Amazing Wipro  at  a  time  of  the  Chennai  floods 
which impacted our operations. I want to thank the team in 
Chennai and also at other locations for their commitment, 
teamwork and customer orientation during the floods last 
month. It was heartening to see our teams stretching well 
beyond the call of duty- especially given that in many cases 
their own homes and families were significantly impacted.

While we focus on customer and revenue growth, I believe 
that the only way to ensure business success is by making 
our clients successful. I have spent a lot of time meeting our 
clients across the globe and personally understanding their 
strategy,  articulating  our  strategy  and  getting  feedback. 
I  believe  that  what  we  are  doing  is  extremely  relevant  to 
our clients and our clients are looking to do business with 
providers with a futuristic outlook like ours. in 2015-16 our 
net promoter score moved by over 400 basis points to one of 
the highest in the industry, positioning us as an organization 
strongly focused on client delivery and delight.

Within the first 100 days as CEO, I met over 70 of our top-
100 clients and key alliance partners across the globe. I am 
very  encouraged  by  the  trust  and  respect  your  company 
commands from its clients and partners and the depth of the 
relationships of our teams with their executives is enormous.

Given  the  depth  of  the  leadership  bench  that  I  inherited, 
within  the  first  few  weeks  of  the  announcement  of  my 
appointment as CEO, I communicated the new organization 
structure and installed the leadership that I believe is the 
right  team  to  take  your  company  forward.  Our  approach 
to leadership talent is primarily to source from within the 
Company,  where  we  have  significant  talent. We  augment 
this internal talent with external hiring. The philosophy has 
been to first look inside and provide opportunities to our 
employees, before we go outside. When we do go outside, 
the  endeavor  is  to  get  the  best  who  can  hit  the  ground 
running. 

Overall, I am very confident that we have the right strategy, 
deep leadership bench, a talented and energized employee 
base, support from our clients and partners. I am fortunate 
to  have  a  very  motivated,  capable  set  of  colleagues  in 
my  leadership  team  committed  to  our  values  to  build  a 
sustainable world class organization and motivated with a 
sense of purpose – to maximize the value of the 39% of the 
company that Mr. Premji has irrevocably transferred to the 
Trust for the larger good of society. 

I will take this opportunity to thank all our stakeholders for 
their continued support as we take your company to newer 
heights in its journey towards excellence.

Sincerely,

Abidali Z Neemuchwala

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

IT Services

Fast-evolving  technology 
landscapes,  dynamic  economic 
environments  and  the  emergence  of  digital  business  has 
created a need for enterprises to look for a partner to advise, 
design  and  execute  their  technology  transformation  and 
support  programs.  Large  multinational  enterprises  are 
engaging  global  IT  Services  companies  who  can  deliver  high 
quality service on a global scale and at competitive costs. Over 
the  past  two  decades,  with  the  emergence  of  the  internet 
and  inexpensive  connectivity,  the  global  delivery  model  of 
service  delivery  has  risen  to  become  the  preferred  model  in 
sourcing of IT services, business process services and research 
and  development  services.  In  this  period,  service  providers 
have  gained  technological  expertise,  domain  competency 
and  delivery  capability  by  either  developing  organically  or 
by  acquiring  companies  with  these  competencies.  Large 
multinational  enterprises  are  engaging  global  IT  Services 
companies to deliver high quality service on a global scale and 
at competitive costs. 

Global IT service providers offer a range of end to end software 
development,  digital  services,  IT  business  solutions,  research 
and development services, technology infrastructure services, 
business  process  services,  consulting  and  related  support 
functions.  According  to  the  Strategic  Review  2016  of  the 
National  Association  of  Software  and  Service  (“NASSCOM”) 

(“the  NASSCOM  Report”)  in  FY16,  IT  export  revenues,  from 
India  grew  by  12.3%  in  constant  currency,  to  an  estimated 
$108 billion. NASSCOM expects FY17 export growth rates to be 
between 10% and 12%. We believe the IT Services industry has 
significant growth potential.

In  the  last  few  years,  enterprises  around  the  world  are 
embracing  the  reality  that  digital  transforms  every  aspect  of 
business.  Experiences,  consumers,  entire  industries,  business 
models and ways of working are all rapidly and fundamentally 
changing.  Recognition  of  these  trends,  combined  with  the 
realization  that  enterprises  may  not  be  able  keep  up  with 
this  pace  of  change,  has  a  profound  impact  on  our  clients. 
This requires new business models, new ways of working and 
integrated  capability  across  strategy,  design  and  technology. 
According to NASSCOM Perspective 2025: Shaping the Digital 
Revolution  the  Indian  technology  and  services  industry  is  on 
track to reach $200 billion to $225 billion in revenues by 2020, 
from a base of $143 billion in 2016, and furthermore, to reach 
revenues of $350 billion by 2025. The digital transformation of 
businesses  provides  opportunities  for  IT  Services  industry  in 
providing a range of new services. 

IT Products 

The  key  components  of  the  hardware  industry  are  servers, 
desktop,  notebook  and  tablet  computers,  storage  devices, 
peripherals,  printers  and  networking  equipment.  According 
to  the  NASSCOM  Report,  the  hardware  segment  of  the  IT-
Business  Process  Management  (“IT-BPM”)  market  in  India  is 
estimated  to  be  $13  billion  in  fiscal  year  2016  or  25%  of  the 
India IT-BPM industry including e-commerce. According to the 
NASSCOM report, the size of the hardware market in India has 
been stagnant at $13 billion for the last two years. Emergence 
of  cloud  computing  technologies  is  affecting  demand  for  IT 
products like servers. 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

We  are  one  of  the  leading  providers  of  IT  services  globally. 
We  combine  the  business  knowledge  and  industry  expertise 
of  our  domain  specialists  and  the  technical  knowledge

our  products,  platforms,  partnerships  and  solutions  in  our 
development centers located around the world. 

We  develop  and  integrate  innovative  solutions  that  enable 
our clients to leverage IT to achieve their business objectives

markets  we  serve  are  undergoing  rapid  changes  due  to  the 
pace  of  developments  in  technology,  innovation  in  business 
models  and  changes  in  the  sourcing  strategies  of  clients. 
Pressures on cost-competitiveness and an uncertain economic 
environment  are  causing  clients  to  develop  newer  business 
models. On the technology front, digital business has changed 
the nature of demand for IT services. Development of advanced 
technologies such as cloud based offerings, big data analytics, 
mobile  applications  and  the  emergence  of  social  media  are 
shifting  the  point  of  decision-making  on  IT  sourcing  within 
clients’  organization  from  the  traditional  Chief  Information 
Officer to newer stakeholders such as Chief Marketing Officer, 
Chief  Digital  Officer,  Chief  Risk  Officer  etc.  These  trends  on 
newer business models, emerging technologies and sourcing 
patterns provide us with significant growth opportunities. 

Our  IT  Products  segment  provides  a  range  of  third-party  IT 
products,  which  allows  us  to  offer  comprehensive  IT  system 
integration  services.  These  products 
include  computing, 
Platforms  and  Storage,  Networking  Solutions,  Enterprise 
Information  Security,  and  software  products, 
including

of clients, primarily in the India and Middle East markets from 
small and medium enterprises (“SMEs”) to large enterprises in 
all major industries.

Technology  has  become 
to  enterprises  across 
In  addition, 
consumerization  of  IT  has  led  to  blurring  of  boundaries 
between  business  needs  and  technology  enablement.  This 
has led to clear separation of priorities and shifting ownership

by Wipro and its partner ecosystems.

‘RUN’ STRATEGY - Modernize the Core

Integrated Services | Simplification

Hyper-Automation | Alliances | Localization

1. 

   Integrated Services 

Enterprises are looking for the right partner in helping them with 
business outcomes. Traditionally, IT services have evolved across 
distinct  set  of  services.  In  recent  times,  the  expectation  from 
vendors is to solve client’s business problem leveraging domain 
knowledge and synergistic integration of multiple services. The 
emergence of ‘As a service’ consumption models is leading to a 
market  demand  for  delivery  of  integrated  services  e.g.  BPaaS 
(Business Process as a Service). 

We  have  set  up  dedicated  Integrated  Services  and  Solutions 
Group  (ISSG)  with  a  mandate  of  integrating  end-to-end 
technology solutions from multiple service lines like Applications, 
Infrastructure services and Analytics. In integrating services to 
solve  customer’s  business  problems,  the  unit  will  consider 
reference  architectures,  selection  of  tools  and  platform,  cost 
effectiveness of solution and best practices. An example is the 
Managed File Transfer as a Service (MFTaaS) platform which is a 
cloud offering enabling large file transfers in organizations in a 
secure manner. The MFT platform has transformed B2B (business 
to  business)  enterprise  file  transfers  for  global  customers 
including Fortune 500 customers.

2.  Simplification

Enterprises  are  focused  on  cost  reduction  with  improved 
quality of service and reliability, coupled with variable pricing 
arrangements. Wipro’s approach to achieve enterprise objectives 
is  to  deliver  simplification  of  client  technology  landscape 
through  consolidation,  elimination  and  automation. We  are 
building automation assets covering Application Development 
and  Management  services.  Our  aim  is  to  offer  value  added 
solutions  through  portfolio  rationalization,  modernization, 
cloud migration and SaaS / PaaS offerings. We focus on target 
operating  model  with  capabilities  such  as  Cloud  Ready  AMS, 
Crowd Sourced AMS, and Digital Ready AMS towers.

3. 

 Hyper-Automation

Our  focus  is  to  help  clients  achieve  their ‘Run’  goals  through 
significant cost optimization in operations by deploying cutting 
edge platforms and technologies that drive Hyper-automation 
and achieve industrialization of service delivery.

Hyper  automation  is  a  focused  initiative  for  us  to  drive,  not 
only  the  delivery  productivity,  but  also  the  new  way  of  work 
as  we  see  Cognitive  and  Robotic  process  automation  (RPA) 
drastically changing traditional IT delivery model. In FY 2015-
2016  we  have  done  successful  Proof-of-Concept  (PoC)  in  this

area across large clients. In FY 2016-2017 we plan to do large 
scale roll out across various archetypes, namely infrastructure 
and  application  managed  services,  application  development 
and testing services.

We developed Wipro HOLMESTM, a Cognitive AI Platform with a 
rich set of cognitive computing services based on open source 
software. It is focused towards solving key enterprise business 
use cases by injecting cognition into IT and Business processes. 
Wipro  HOLMESTM  enables  development  of  various  types  of 
AI  applications  like  Intelligent Virtual  Agents,  Anticipatory 
and Predictive Systems, Cognitive Process Automation, Visual 
Computing  and  Human  Computer  Interface,  Knowledge 
Processing Systems. The automation platform is backed by the 
approach to deliver simplification in IT and Operations landscape 
through consolidation, elimination and automation.

4.  Alliances

We  have  a  dedicated  unit  to  deepen  and  widen  alliance 
ecosystems  to  drive  creation  of  new  markets  and  solutions, 
expand  in  key  verticals/geographies  and  drive  Go-To-Market 
(GTM) outcomes. We have classified alliances as follows:

•	

•	

•	

Strategic  Alliances:  Multiple  product

lines  with 

Growth Alliances: Single practice alliances.

Niche  Alliances:  Niche  products  with  differentiated 
solutions.

5. 

Localization

Key  geographies  such  as  Continental  Europe,  Canada,  Latin 
America, Africa and Asia-Pacific region are emerging as areas of 
growth for the IT services industry. We believe that commitment 
to these geographies is important in growing our business.

We are driving a higher localization in all our key markets. In 
Continental Europe, we enhanced our local presence through 
acquisition  of  Cellent  AG,  an  IT  Services  company  serving 
Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The acquisition has stabilized 
and  the  traction  is  positive. We  are  enhancing  local  delivery 
capability  at  multiple  locations. We  are  investing  dedicated 
efforts in growth markets like Latin America, Canada and Africa. 
We expect locals as a percentage of the workforce to increase as 
we execute on this theme and diversity is a key strategic priority 
as part of our globalization.

We  are  also  taking  many  local  initiatives  in  engaging  with 
the  local  industry,  universities,  community  and  entering  into 
partnerships with local entities.

‘CHANGE’ STRATEGY -  Driving the Future

Digital and Advisory | Non-Linearity

World class Ecosystem | Invest to lead in the future

6.  Digital and Advisory 

With  clients  across  industries  driving  adoption  of  Digital  and 
leading with Digital transformation, expectations from service 
providers  are  to  partner  and  enable  organizations  design, 
strategize and partner in executing through the transformation 
process.  In  addition  as  Enterprises  go ‘Digital’,  business 
stakeholders are playing a key role in influencing and driving 
technology decisions given the core role of Digital technologies 
in enabling businesses go Digital.

Thus,  as  clients  increasingly  transform  to  become ‘Digital 
providers’ of products and services, we continue to invest and 
build capabilities in Digital Strategy, Design, Architecture and 
Engineering. These capabilities help Business and IT stakeholders 
achieve Digital goals leveraging the breadth of talent at Wipro 
across superior data analytics, engineering and design.

Our vision of the Digital business across advisory, design and 
technology is securing mindshare amongst existing and new 
customers. We believe Consulting capabilities in Business and 
IT Strategy, Functional and Process Excellence are critical to the 
Advisory offering in Digital along with design and technology 
pillars. With this in view, we have aligned our Consulting services 
with  the  Digital  unit  to  further  boost  the  capabilities  of  both 
units.

Our acquisition in the Digital and Strategic Design space, Design 
it, has integrated well with our digital unit. Harmonizing teams, 
cultures and capabilities has created differentiated positioning in 
the market for us. Our clients are beginning to see the benefit of 
design and engineering working together to deliver remarkable 
customer  experiences  at  speed  and  at  scale. The  joint  GTM 
is  securing  synergy  deal  wins  for  us.  For  example,  the  design 
capability combine d with our technology skills helped us win 
a large digital engagement with a global bank.

In 2015-16, we launched a program to train approximately 10,000 
professionals  in  digital  technologies. We  are  ramping  up  this 
capability significantly to cover another 20,000 professionals in 
2016-17. Our focus is to build high caliber teams covering high 
end engineers, top end coders, digital architects, data scientists, 
digitization  consultants,  service  design  experts,  specialized 
digital  delivery  practitioners,  industry  focused  strategists 
and  solution  experts.  Keeping  in  line  with  this  priority,  we 
have launched the Digital Academy to train super specialized 
engineering  talent  and  are  running  specific  enablement 
programs to transform customer facing and delivery teams to be 
‘Digital’ ready. We opened Digital pods in London and New York 
to offer enhanced transformation services to global customers.

Annual Report 2015-16

 
7.  Non-Linearity

Given the need to address business challenges with speed and 
to differentiate amongst service providers, we continue to drive 
use of intellectual property to drive non-linearity in our business.

We  have  a  significant  thrust  to  drive  non-linearity  through 
investments in Intellectual Property in the form of products (like 
Gallagher, Opus, Healthplan Services (HPS), Promax, platforms 
(like Wipro HOLMESTM), frameworks and solutions.

We have formed a dedicated unit to drive non-linear revenue 
growth by leveraging IP based products, platforms and solutions 
as  well  as  through  automation  and  innovative  commercial 
constructs and delivery models.

Wipro  HOLMESTM  continues  to  receive  strong  adoption  with 
18 engagements across diverse industry segments. During the 
year ended March 31, 2016, we successfully completed a pilot 
engagement  in  deploying  and  implementing  an  eKYC Wipro 
HOLMESTM solution in a Wall Street Bank.

We  have  filed  for  a  number  of  patents  on Wipro  HOLMESTM 
and initiated two new research programs in collaboration with 
leading universities. Overall during FY 2015-2016 we filed for 514 
patents and we now own over 1,085 patents (including patent 
applications) in nine jurisdictions. 

8.  World class Ecosystem

Given  the  pace  and  scale  of  disruption  in  the  technology 
landscape, it is imperative to have a proactive and structured 
approach to work with the innovation ecosystem. Our ecosystem 
strategy  is  defined  around  building  and  nurturing  four  types 
of  ecosystem  plays  through  Start-ups,  M&A,  Consulting 
partnerships and academia partnerships.

Start-up partnerships

As part of a start-up engagement model, we have invested in 
building  a  world  class  ecosystem  through  a  US$  100  million 
corporate  venture  capital  fund,  Wipro  Ventures,  aimed  at 
investing  in  cutting  edge  start-ups  in  areas  such  as  Digital, 
Internet of  Things (IoT), Big data, Open source, Cybersecurity 
and Artificial Intelligence (AI). In 2015-16, Wipro Ventures has 
seen strong traction and scale. We have made 6 investments with 
a cumulative spend of US$ 15 million and a further committed 
spend of US$ 5 million in FY16 in start-ups working in Big Data 
and  Analytics,  Artificial  Intelligence,  the  Internet  of Things, 
Mobility, Cloud Infra, Fintech and Security – technologies that 
are reshaping the future of enterprises.

M&A

Acquisitions are key enablers in building capability in industry 
domain,  emerging  technology  areas,  Digital  and  increasing 
market footprint in newer markets. We focus on opportunities 
where we can further develop our domain expertise, specific 
skill  sets  and  our  Global  Delivery  Model  to  maximize  service 
and product enhancements and higher margins. We also use 

our  acquisition  program  to  increase  our  presence  in  select 
geographies, increase our footprint in certain large customers 
and  pursue  select  business  opportunities.  Key  acquisitions 
consummated  during  the  year  ended  March  31,  2016  are 
Designit, Cellent and HPS.

Designit is a global strategic design firm, helping businesses tap 
into the opportunities in the digital age by turning technology 
into  meaningful  experiences. With  an  international  team  of 
designers,  strategists,  and  technologists  across  nine  offices 
in  Denmark,  Germany,  Spain,  Norway,  Sweden,  Israel,  Japan 
and Brazil, Designit uses a strategic Design Process to design 
unified product-service experiences that bring end-user value, 
business value and business transformation. This acquisition will 
complement  the  capabilities  of  an  established  design  leader 
with Wipro’s engineering heritage and bring compelling value 
to the clients. Designit’s expertise in experience-driven design 
complements Wipro Digital’s capabilities in technology, digital 
strategy,  design,  and  digital  architecture. Together,  the  two 
organizations  become  a  comprehensive  and  scalable  global 
digital transformation partner to improve customer experience 
while radically digitizing business operations.

Cellent is a leading IT consulting and software services company 
offering holistic innovative IT solutions and services in the DACH 
region of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

HPS  offers  market-leading  technology  platforms  and  a  fully 
integrated  Business  Process  as  a  Service  (BPaaS)  solution  to 
Healthcare Insurance companies (Payers) in the individual, group 
and ancillary markets. The acquisition would be closely aligned 
with Wipro’s  key  levers  for  growth,  which  is,  to  dominate  the 
services market through platform led or BPaaS offerings. Wipro 
would gain the competitive, early mover advantage in the high

Invest to lead in the future

Given  that  the  disruption  in  technology  is  resulting  in  newer 
opportunities  in  the  areas  of  Internet  of  Everything  (“IoE”), 
Software  Defined,  Cybersecurity,  Open  stacks  and  AI,  we 
continue to invest in emerging technologies.

IoE

•	 We  have  a  dedicated  unit  in  place  to  address  the  IoE 
opportunity  by  delivering  platforms,  framework  and 
solutions  based  on  use  cases  across  industries  such  as 
Manufacturing, Retail, Utilities and Healthcare segments 
(e.g., Heavy Equipment Asset Tracking).

Software Defined

•	 We  have  significantly  invested  in  building  a  center  of 
excellence to showcase our capabilities in SDX (Software 
Defined Everything). There is a significant focus to enhance 
skill sets across Software Defined Storage, Software Defined 
Network, Software Defined Data center and Cloud.

Cybersecurity

•	

Given  the  rise  of  connected  devices  and  transition  to 
cloud, the impact of threats will continue to increase since 
threat attack area is increasing beyond the enterprise. We 
have  invested  in  building  deep  capability  to  secure  our 
customers’ assets and IT estate from cyber threats.

Open Source

•	 We  are  leveraging  the  open  source  ecosystem  to  drive 
thought  leadership  through  community  and  industry 
partnerships. We have a dedicated open source council set 
up to drive collaboration and seamless execution of open 
source  services  (e.g.,  Open  Datacenter,  Open  Apps  and 
Open Network) and solutions across service lines.

To  enable  effective  implementation  of  the  Run  and  Change 
strategies, we are making focused investments in brand building, 
creating the right organization structure, processes, technology, 
people and driving significant sales transformation through a 
number of focused programs.

Driving differentiation and leadership through our people

We  believe  that  our  employees  are  the  backbone  of  our 
organization and a key differentiator in the global market for 
IT  services  and  IT  products. We  are  committed  to  recruiting

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  the 
central document on which the Company’s ethics compliance 
message is disseminated to all employees. Details are covered 
in  the ‘Corporate  Governance’  report.  In  2015-16,  Wipro  was 
awarded ‘The ICSI National Award for excellence in Corporate 
Governance’ for 2015 by the Institute of Company Secretaries 
of  India  (ICSI).  The  underlying  guideline  for  the  Corporate 
Governance  Award  is  to  identify  the  corporates,  that  lead  in 
best governance practices.

Risk Management

Risk Management at Wipro is an enterprise wide function backed 
by a qualified team of specialists with deep industry experience 
who develop frameworks and methodologies for assessing and 
mitigating risks.

Risk Management Framework

The  risk  landscape  in  the  current  business  environment  is 
changing  dynamically  with  the  dimensions  of  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. The framework is based on 
principles laid out in the four globally recognized standards.

Major Risks
Information Security & Cyber Security breaches 
that could result in systemic failures, loss, 
disclosure of confidential information.
Intellectual Property violating or misusing 
our clients’ intellectual property rights or for 
breaches of third-party intellectual property 
rights or confidential information in connection 
with services to our clients.
Data Privacy regulations relating to personal 
and health information dealt with both by and 
on behalf of Wipro increases the risk of non-
compliance.
Regulatory Compliances covering various 
federal, state, local and foreign laws relating to 
various aspects of the business operations are 
complex and non-compliances can result in 
substantial fines, sanctions etc.

Service Delivery risks relating to complex 
programs providing end-to-end business 
solutions for our clients.

Functional & Operational risks arising out of 
various operational processes

Business Continuity risks arising out of systems 
failure, natural disasters etc.

Mitigation Plan

Strong counter measures implemented and programs to continuously monitor the 
effectiveness of the controls have been implemented. Focus on sustaining controls and 
continuous improvement of solutions.
Elaborate program has been rolled out in the past years to assess and mitigate the risks 
on account of intellectual property, both customer and Wipro-owned. The program assists 
in identification, monitoring and creating awareness across the teams. The program has 
also been enhanced to address risks arising out of access provided to social media & 
collaboration platforms.
Data Privacy programs have been augmented by the creation of a dedicated Data Privacy 
team with specific emphasis to revalidate all existing frameworks, policies and processes 
that can be leveraged across by the respective teams, covering all applicable geographies 
and areas of operations.
A program on statutory compliance is in place with the objective to track all applicable 
regulations, obligation arising out the same and corresponding actions items that 
requires to be adhered to ensure compliance along with necessary workflows enabled. 
The program is monitored and regularly reviewed to ensure compliances are in place. 
Additional programs exist to cover specific regulations relating to immigration, anti-
bribery etc.
Risk Management framework has been deployed for large value deals to assess solution 
fitness, credit risks, financial risks, technology risks among other risk factors. Additionally 
contract compliance programs are in place with regular reviews, early warning systems as 
well as customer satisfaction surveys to assess the effectiveness of the service delivery and 
preempt any risks arising from the service delivery.

Appropriate risk and control matrix have been designed for all critical business processes 
and both design and effectiveness is tested under the SOX & Internal Financial Control 
Programs.

A separate function to address Business Continuity Planning has been formed and an 
enhanced Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) framework aligned to ISO 
22301 (latest global industry standard) has been launched. With this rollout, the accounts, 
service functions and locations will have a comprehensive and integrated view of the 
BCMS requirements and be able to plan, coordinate and execute the strategies effectively.

CHENNAI DELUGE

With Chennai witnessing its heaviest rainfall in 100 years, the city was completely inundated bringing life to a standstill for a 
couple of weeks in the month of December 2015. While residents were struggling to stay dry and obtain essential supplies, 
businesses  were  also  severely  impacted.    Our  campuses  (Sholinganallur,  Guindy  &  Mahindra  World  city)  were  impacted. 
Owing to priority on people safety, evacuation was first initiated and facilities were shut-down and Business Continuity Plans 
were invoked for all critical customer services that were supported from Chennai.

Our  teams  across  business  units  and  functions  worked  in  a  well  co-ordinated  manner,  demonstrating  sense  of  exigency. 
Many employees and contractors stretched beyond the call of duty and ensured that the continuity plans were well executed. 
Customers also understood the situation and reciprocated appropriately.

Multiple  business  continuity  arrangements  like  working  environment  for  employees  working  on  critical  projects,  special 
boarding arrangements for over a thousand employees in our campuses, travel arrangement for  thousands of employees to 
our facilities in other cities etc were made to ensure continuity of support to critical applications/processes.  Regular updates 
to customers and employees helped obtain cooperation and support.

We  express  our  gratitude  to  all  involved  for  their  dedication  &  perseverance.    It  is  a  success  story  for  us  as  employees, 
contractors, vendors, partners and customers went beyond their call of duty to make Wipro a more safe and secure place.

While  our  teams  have  done  a  good  job  in  recovering  from  Chennai  deluge,  we  have  taken  several  proactive  steps  as  an 
organization to prepare ourselves for similar crisis in future across locations. A separate function to address Business Continuity 
Planning  has  been  formed  and  an  enhanced  Business  Continuity  Management  System  (BCMS)  framework  aligned  to  ISO 
22301 (latest global industry standard) has been launched. With this rollout, the accounts, service functions and locations 
will have a comprehensive and integrated view of the BCM requirements and be able to plan, coordinate and execute the 
strategies effectively. 

Wipro  Cares,  the  community  initiatives  arm  of  Wipro,  supported  the  victims  of  Chennai  floods  in  December  2015  by 
collaborating with NGOs experienced in disaster relief operations and worked with the local government to help affected 
communities with particular focus on disadvantaged groups and those living near Wipro campuses.

The Ombudsprocess
Wipro  is  committed  to  the  highest  standards  of  openness, 
probity  and  accountability.  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.  An  important  aspect  of  accountability  and 
transparency  is  a  robust  mechanism  that  allows  partners, 
customers,  suppliers  and  other  members  of  the  public,  to 
voice  concerns  in  a  responsible  and  effective  manner.  What 
this  means  in  concrete  terms  is  that  whenever  a  stakeholder 
discovers 
reveals  serious  malpractice, 
impropriety,  abuse  or  wrongdoing  within  the  organization 
then the stakeholder should be able to report without fear of 
reprisal,  anyone  can  report  a  concern  to  the  ombudsperson

CAPITALS AND VALUE CREATION

We now introduce, in brief, a short explanation of the capitals, followed by Wipro’s approach to value creation 
across these capitals.

Financial capital is broadly understood as the pool of funds available to an organization.  Financial capital also 
serves as a medium of exchange that can obtain value through conversion into other forms of capital.

Intellectual capital  is broadly organizational, knowledge-based intangibles, including intellectual property, such 
as patents, copyrights, software, rights and licences and “organizational capital” such as tacit knowledge, systems, 
procedures and protocols

Human capital is broadly people’s competencies, capabilities and experience, and their motivations to innovate 
and support the organizations shared goals and values.

Social and relationship capital is broadly the institutions and the relationships within and between communities, 
groups of stakeholders and other networks, and the ability to share information to enhance individual and collective 
well-being such as customers, investors and suppliers.

Natural capital is broadly all renewable and nonrenewable environmental resources and processes that provide 
goods or services that support the past, current or future prosperity of an organization. It includes air, water, land, 
minerals, forests, biodiversity and eco-system health.

Manufactured capital is broadly seen as human-created, production-oriented equipment and tools. For the IT 
services business, these are the fixed assets like buildings, IT hardware and telecommunication equipment. The 
deployment of the capital is adequately represented in financial capital and through impacts to natural capital. 
Hence this report does not cover manufactured capital separately.

Global  economic  crisis:  We  derive  approximately  53% 
of our IT Services revenue from the Americas (including 
the  United  States)  and  25%  of  our  IT  Services  revenue 
from  Europe.  If  the  economy  in  the  Americas  or  Europe 
continues to be volatile or conditions in the global financial 
market deteriorate, pricing for our services may become 
less attractive and our clients located in these geographies

significantly.  Reduction  in  spending  on  IT  services  may 
lower the demand for our services and negatively affect 
our revenues and profitability. Our clients are concentrated 
in certain key industries. Any significant decrease in the 
growth  of  any  one  of  these  industries,  or  widespread 
changes  in  any  such  industry,  may  reduce  or  alter  the 
demand for our services and adversely affect our revenue 
and  profitability.  For  instance,  the  continued  softness 
in  global  crude  oil  price  has  significantly  impacted  the 
companies  operating  in  the  energy  industry,  impacting

revenue and profitability of our Energy, Natural Resources 
and Utilities industry vertical.

Taxation  Risks:  Our  profits  for  the  period  earned  from 
providing  services  at  client  premises  outside  India  are 
subject to tax in the country where we perform the work. 
Most of our taxes paid in countries other than India can 
be applied as a credit against our Indian tax liability to the 
extent that the same income is subject to taxation in India. 
Currently,  we  benefit  from  certain  tax  incentives  under 
Indian tax laws. These tax incentives include a tax holiday 
from  payment  of  Indian  corporate  income  taxes  for  our 
businesses  operating  from  specially  designated  Special 
Economic Zones (“SEZs”). Changes to these incentives and 
other exemptions we receive due to government policies 
can impact our financial performance. 

•	 Wage Pressure: Our wage costs in emerging markets have 
historically been significantly lower than wage costs in the 
developed markets for comparably skilled professionals, 
and  this  has  been  one  of  our  competitive  advantages. 
However, wage increases in emerging markets may prevent 
us from sustaining this competitive advantage and may 
negatively  affect  our  profit  margins. We  may  need  to 
increase the levels of our employee compensation more 
rapidly than in the past to retain talent. Unless we are able 
to continue to increase the efficiency and productivity of 
our  employees  over  the  long  term,  wage  increases  may 
reduce our profit margins. 

•	

General Market Risk: 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. 

Our  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  our  earnings  and  equity  to 
losses.

Components of Market Risk

Foreign currency risk: A significant portion of our revenue is in 
U.S. Dollars, United Kingdom Pound Sterling, Euros, Australian 
Dollars and Canadian Dollars while a large portion of our costs 
are  in  Indian  Rupees. The  exchange  rates  between  the  rupee 
and  these  currencies  have  fluctuated  significantly  in  recent 
years and may continue to fluctuate in the future. Appreciation 
of  the  Indian  Rupee  against  these  currencies  can  adversely 
affect our results of operations. 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. 

As  of  March  31,  2016,  a  Re.  1  increase/decrease  in  the  spot 
exchange rate of the Indian Rupee with the U.S. Dollar would 
result  in  approximately  Rs  1,398  million  decrease/increase 
in  the  fair  value  of  our  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.  Our  investments  are  primarily  in  short-term 
investments, which do not expose us to significant interest rate 
risk. To manage our net exposure to interest rate risk relating to 
borrowings, we may enter into interest rate swap agreements, 
which  allows  us  to  exchange  periodic  payments  based  on  a 
notional amount and agreed upon fixed and floating interest 
rates. As of March 31, 2016, substantially all of our borrowings 
was  subject  to  floating  interest  rates,  which  reset  at  short 
intervals.  If  interest  rates  were  to  increase  by  100  bps  from 
March 31, 2016, additional net annual interest expense on our 
floating  rate  borrowing  would  amount  to  approximately  Rs. 
1,102 million.

Credit risk: Credit risk arises from the possibility that customers 
may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage 
this, we periodically assess 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,  2015  and  2016,  respectively  and 
revenues for the year ended March 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, 
respectively. There is no significant concentration of credit risk.

Counterparty risk: 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 in 
India  which  are  at  least  AA  rated  by  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.  The 
counterparties  are  primarily  banks  and  financial  institutions 
and  the  Company  considers  the  risk  of  non-performance  by 
the counterparty as non-material.

in 

Our Hedge Book as on March 31, 2016 stood at USD 2.8 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 
foreign 
exchange  differences  on  debt  denominated 
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  deferred  and  reported  as  a 
component  of  other  comprehensive  income  in  stockholder’s 
equity  and  subsequently  recorded  in  the  income  statement 
when  the  hedged  transactions  occur,  along  with  the  hedged 
items.

Please  refer  note  15  in  ‘Consolidated  Financial  Statements 
under IFRS’ for further details.

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.

The Management has  laid down internal financial controls to 
be  followed  by  the  Company. We  have  adopted  policies  and 
procedures  for  ensuring  the  orderly  and  efficient  conduct  of 
the business, including adherence to the Company’s policies, 
the  safeguarding  of  its  assets,  the  prevention  and  detection 
of  frauds  and  errors,  the  accuracy  and  completeness  of  the 
accounting  records,  and  the  timely  preparation  of  reliable 
financial disclosures.  

Liquidity risk: Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that we will 
not  be  able  to  settle  or  meet  our  obligations  on  time  or  at  a 
reasonable  price.  Management  monitors  the  Company’s  net 
liquidity  position  through  rolling  forecasts  on  the  basis  of 
expected cash flows. As of March 31, 2016, our cash and cash 
equivalents are held with major banks and financial institutions. 

Risk Management Procedures

Foreign  Exchange  Risk  Management  Policy 
and Results 

We evaluate our foreign exchange rate exposure arising from 
these  transactions  and  enter  into  foreign  currency  derivative 
instruments to mitigate such exposure. 

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, 2015 and 2016 were 
Rs. 3,637 million and Rs. 3,867 million respectively.

We  have  designated  certain  derivative  instruments  as  cash 
flow  hedges  to  mitigate  the  foreign  exchange  exposure  of 
forecasted highly probable cash flows. We have also designated 
foreign currency borrowings as hedges against respective net 
investments in foreign operations.

(1) 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. 469,545 million and Rs. 512,440 million for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. 
Please see Note 29 of the ‘Consolidated Financial Statements under IFRS’ for additional details.

Revenue:  In  FY  2015-16  our  revenue  increased  by  9.1%. This 
was driven primarily by a 10.7% increase in revenue from our IT 
Services segment and was offset partially by a 12.6% decrease 
in  revenue  from  our  IT  Products  segment.  The  increase  in 
IT  Services  revenues  was  driven  by  volume  growth  in  our 
Healthcare and Life Sciences industry vertical, Retail, Consumer 
Goods & Transportation industry vertical and Manufacturing & 
Hitech  industry  vertical  as  well  as  depreciation  of  the  Indian 
rupee against the U.S. dollar.

Profitability:  In  absolute  terms,  cost  of  revenues  increased 
by  11%  primarily  on  account  of  increases  in  employee 
compensation  due  to  impact  of  rupee  depreciation,  salary 
increases, stock compensation awarded, increase in headcount 
through  business 
during 
combinations), and increase in subcontracting/technical fees, 
which was partially offset by reduction in cost of hardware and 
software. 

(including 

the  year 

increase 

As  a  result  of  the  foregoing  factors,  our  gross  profit  as 
percentage of our total revenue decreased by 119 basis points 
(bps).
Selling  and  Marketing  Expenses:  Our  selling  and  marketing 
expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased marginally 
from 6.5% for the year ended March 31, 2015 to 6.6% for the 
year  ended  March  31,  2016.  In  absolute  terms,  selling  and 
marketing expenses increased by 11.3%, primarily on account 
of increases in employee compensation due to impact of rupee 
depreciation,  salary  increases,  stock  compensation  awarded, 

increase  in  headcount  during  the  year,  advertisement  and 
brand  building  expenses,  depreciation  and  amortization  and 
travel  expenses  arising  from  intangible  assets  recognized 
through business combinations.

General  and  Administrative  Expenses:  Our  general  and 
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased 
marginally  from  5.46%  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  2015  to 
5.51%  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  2016.  In  absolute  terms, 
general  and  administrative  expenses  increased  by  10.1%, 
primarily  due  to 
in  employee  compensation, 
provision  for  doubtful  debts,  facility  expenses  and  legal  and 
professional fees.

Results from Operations: As a result of the foregoing factors, 
our  operating  income  increased  by  1.7%,  from  Rs  95,423 
million for the year ended March 31, 2015 to Rs 97,021 million  
for the year ended March 31, 2016. However, our results from 
operating  activities  as  a  percentage  of  revenue  (operating 
margin) decreased by 138 bps from 20.2% to 18.8%.

Finance  Expenses:  Our  finance  expenses  increased  from  Rs 
3,599  million  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  2015  to  Rs  5,582 
million  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  2016.  This  increase  is 
primarily  due  to  an  increase  of  Rs  1,341  million  in  exchange 
loss  on  foreign  currency  borrowings  and  related  derivative 
instruments as well as an increase in interest expense by Rs 642 
million  on  account  of  increased  borrowings  during  the  year 
ended March 31, 2016.

Revenue  -  IT  Services:  In  FY  2015-16  our  revenue  from  our 
IT  Services  segment,  in  INR  terms,  increased  by  10.71%.  In 
absolute  terms  in  INR,  we  experienced  growth  across  most 
IT  Services  industry  verticals,  particularly  in  Healthcare  and 
Life  Sciences  industry  vertical,  Retail,  Consumer  Goods  & 
Transportation  industry  vertical  and  Manufacturing  &  Hitech 
industry  vertical.  In  terms  of  USD  revenues,  the  growth  was 
3.7%.  In  terms  of  USD,  expressed  in  constant  currency,  the 

growth was 7.6%.  In our IT Services segment, we added 261 
new customers during  the year ended March 31, 2016 across 
all  industry  verticals  including  customers  added  on  account 
of  acquisitions.  Revenue  from  Product  Engineering,  Global 
Infrastructure Services, Business Process Services and Analytics 
grew strongly during the year. Amongst geographic segments, 
India and Middle East business and Americas regions showed 
strong growth.

During  the  year,  we  saw  significant  softness  in  the  Oil  &  Gas 
business due to the impact of low oil prices, which affected our 
revenue growth in US dollar. However, in absolute terms in INR, 
we experienced growth across all IT Services industry verticals. 

Profitability: Our gross profit as a percentage of our revenue 
from  our  IT  Services  segment  decreased  by  163  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,  2016  as  compared  to  year 
ended  March  31,  2015  as  part  of  our  annual  compensation 
review  and  annual  progression  cycle,  partially  offset  by  the 
depreciation  in  the  value  of  the  Indian  rupee  against  foreign 
currency.

absolute  terms,  selling  and  marketing  expenses  increased 
Rs  3,366  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  investments  in  manpower 
capacity  and  amortization  of  intangibles  acquired  through

Performance  against  Guidance:  Historically,  we  have 
followed  a  practice  of  providing  revenue  guidance  for  our 
largest  business  segment,  namely,  IT  Services.  The  guidance 
is  provided  at  the  release  of  every  quarterly  earnings  when 
revenue outlook for the succeeding quarter is shared. 

Revenue: Our revenue from the IT Products segment decreased 
by 12.60%. The decline was primarily due to our focus on being 
a  system  integrator  of  choice  where  we  provide  IT  products 
as  a  complement  to  our  IT  services  offerings  rather  than  sell 
standalone IT products.

The  following  table  presents  the  performance  of  IT  Services 
Revenue  against  outlook  previously  communicated  for  the 
four quarters of 2015-16.

Profitability: Our gross profit as a percentage of our IT Products 
segment revenue decreased by 103 bps primarily on account 
of  product  pricing  pressure  and  the  depreciation  of  Indian 
rupee resulting in higher product costs.

Resource Allocation Strategy

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. Our choices 
of  sources  of  funding  will  be  driven  with  the  objective  of 
maintaining an optimal capital structure.

We maintain a debt/borrowing 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 
strategies  are  executed  to  maintain  sufficient  flexibility  to 
access global funding sources, as needed. Please refer to Note 
12  of  our  Notes  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for 
additional details on our borrowings.

The  Company’s  cash  flow  from  its  operating,  investing  and 
financing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statement 
of Cash Flows, is summarized in the table below:

Annual Report 2015-16

 
 
As  of  March  31,  2016,  we  had  cash  and  cash  equivalent  and 
short-term  investments  of  Rs  301,432  million.  Cash  and  cash 
equivalent  and  short-term  investments,  net  of  debt,  was  Rs 
176,211 million. As of March 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, 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 15 of our Notes to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements for more details on our treasury activities.

In addition, we have unused credit lines of Rs 34,498 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.

In  the  normal  course  of  business,  we  transfer  accounts 
receivables  and  net  investment  in  finance  lease  (financial 
assets) to banks. The incremental impact of such transactions 
on our cash flow  and liquidity for the years ended March 31, 
2014, 2015 and 2016 is not material. Please refer Note 15 of our 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 

The  Company  enters  into  operating  leases  for  office  space, 
hardware,  and  certain  other  equipment. These  arrangements 
are  sometimes  referred  to  as  a  form  of  off-balance  sheet 
financing  and  details  are  available  in  the  notes  to  the 
Consolidated Financial statements.

Cash from Operating Activities: Cash generated by operating 
activities  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  2016  increased  by  Rs 
611 million over the year ended March 31, 2015, while profit for 
the year increased by Rs 2,355 million during the same period. 
This  is  primarily  due  to  longer  collection  cycles  in  India  and 
Middle East business.

Cash  used  in  Investing  Activities:  Cash  used  in  investing 
activities  for  the  year  ended  March  31,  2016  was  Rs  138,156 
million.  The  cash  invested  (net  of  sales)  in  available  for  sale 
investments  and  inter-corporate  deposits  amounted  to  Rs 
104,311  million.  Cash  utilized  for  the  payment  for  business 
acquisitions  amounted  to  Rs  39,373  million.  We  purchased 
property, plant and equipment amounted to Rs 13,951 million, 
which was primarily driven by the growth plan of the Company.

As of March 31, 2016, we had contractual commitments of Rs 
10,734 million related to capital expenditures on construction 
or  expansion  of  software  development  facilities,  Rs  16,859 
million  related  to  non-cancelable  operating  lease  obligations 
and  Rs  21,760  million  related  to  other  purchase  obligations. 
Plans  to  construct  or  expand  our  software  development 
facilities are determined by our business requirements. 

In  relation  to  our  acquisitions,  a  portion  of  the  purchase 

consideration  is  payable  upon  achievement  of  specified 
revenue  and  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.

Cash  used  in  Financing  Activities:  Cash  used  in  financing 
activities for the year ended March 31, 2016 was Rs 1,587 million 
as against Rs 8,523 million for the year ended March 31, 2015. 
This is primarily due to an increase in net proceeds of loans and 
borrowings  amounting  to  Rs  14,370  million.  Our  borrowings 
have increased primarily on account of bridge loans to finance 
our  acquisitions  of  Cellent  and  HPS.  This  increase  is  partly 
offset  by  increase  in  payment  of  dividend  amounting  to  Rs 
6,004 million. Dividends paid in the year ended March 31, 2016 
represents final dividend declared for the year ended March 31, 
2015 amounting to Rs 7 per share and interim dividend for the 
year March 31, 2016 amounting to Rs 5 per share.

Shareholder Returns

Dividend:  For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the Board 
of Directors declared an interim dividend of Re 5 per share and 
recommended  a  final  dividend  of  Re  1  per  share,  for  a  total 
dividend for the year of Re 6 per share.
The  recommended  final  dividend  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 
2,974 million, including corporate dividend tax thereon.

On  April  20,  2016,  we  announced  our  intention  to  conduct  a 
buyback of equity shares through a tender offer (the “Tender 
Offer”) in order to distribute returns to the equity shareholders. 
Under the Tender Offer, we will buy back up to 40 million equity 
shares of Rs 2 each (representing 1.62% of total equity capital) 
from the shareholders of the company on a proportionate basis. 
The buyback price will be Rs 625 per equity share payable in 
cash for an aggregate amount not exceeding Rs 25,000 million.

After maintaining a steady dividend payout ratio of 30%, 33% 
and 31% for the years 2013-14, 2012-13 and 2011-12, we had, 
considering the needs of liquidity and strategic requirements, 
enhanced the dividend payout ratio in 2014-15 to 41%.

For  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2016,  the  payout  ratio, 
computed  by  combining  the  interim  dividend,  the  proposed 
final  dividend  (including  the  dividend  distribution  tax)  and 
the  aforementioned  buyback  will  be  48%,  an  increase  of 
approximately 7% from the payout ratio for the previous year. 

Final  dividends  on  common  stock  are  recorded  as  a  liability 
on  the  date  of  declaration  by  the  stockholders  and  interim 
dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration
by the Board of Directors.

Outlook

Historically, we have followed a practice of providing revenue 
guidance for our largest business segment, namely, IT Services. 
The  guidance  is  provided  at  the  release  of  every  quarterly

ended March 31, 2016, we provided our most recent quarterly 
guidance. We expect Revenue from IT Services segment for the 
quarter ending June 30, 2016 to be in the range of USD 1,901- 
1,939 million*.
* Guidance is based on the following exchange rates: GBP/USD at 1.42, Euro/USD at

the foundation of our values

Our  analysis  of  employees’  perception,  expectation  and 
feedback,  forms  a  primary  input  in  designing  our  talent 
management processes. Additionally, our customers, investors 
and peer organizations also influence our people value chain 
and provide perspectives on material issues and risks. Finally, 
the  geo-political  situations,  particularly  in  markets  where  we 
have high dependencies also form a vital input to our people 
strategy.

We  have  taken  an  integrated  talent  management  approach 
that spans the complete employee lifecycle.  Our talent strategy 
has the following core elements: 

Commitment to Human Rights: Our Company wide Code Of 
Business  Conduct  (COBC)  and  our  recently  launched  Human 
Rights Policy reemphasize the principles of equal opportunity 
and  meritocracy  as  embedded  in  our  core  values.  They  are 
aligned  to  globally  accepted  standards  and  frameworks  like 
the U.N. Global Compact, U.N. Universal Declaration of Human 
Rights and International Labor Organization. Our commitment 
to  human  rights  covers  employees,  suppliers,  clients,  and 
communities  across  geographies  where  we  do  business.  We 
have  also  established  committees  like  Prevention  of  Sexual 
Harassment Committee, Audit/Risk & Compliance committees 
to review progress and formulate strategies to address material 
issues pertaining to compliance.

Diversity  &  Inclusion  (D&I):    Nurturing  diversity  and  making 
inclusivity  a  part  of Wipro’s  culture  has  remained  a  key  focus 
area for the organization and is a strategic enabler for business 
sustainability.  Our  D  &  I  Program  was  formally  launched  in 
2008  to  give  shape  and  direction  to  this  commitment.  The 
focus of our D & I program is multi-dimensional and consists 
of four pillars – gender, persons with disability, nationality, and 
underprivileged communities. Our collaboration with research 
partners  and  industry  platforms  like  Catalyst,  CII,  NASSCOM, 
Diversity  and  Equal  Opportunity  Centre  (DEOC)  bring  to  the 
fore focus areas and industry trends which help in shaping our 
D & I charter.

As  on  March  31,  2016,  our  global    workforce  comprised  over 
150,000  employees  with  32%  of  them  being  women.  Our 
workforce across 55 countries comprises employees from 100+ 
nationalities. Over the years, we have cultivated a strong ‘local 
national’ footprint in our international geographies with 42.3% 
of onsite workforce as local nationals.  We have a very young 

Employee  Well  Being  &  Safety:  Through  our  programs, 
we  believe  in  influencing  all  aspects  of  an  employee’s  life 
– 
including  physical,  mental  and  emotional  well-being. 
Protection  of  employees  from  injury  or  occupational  disease 
is  a  major  continuing  objective.  To  this  end,  we  continued 
our  efforts  to  enhance  safety  &  security  at  the  workplace  by

Annual Report 2015-16

 
prescribing  policies  &  procedures,  creating  awareness  and 
imparting trainings. We have institutionalized key policies like 
Prevention of Sexual Harassment policy and a robust grievance 
redressal system. 

Comprehensive  Benefits  &  Rewards:  We  continually  strive 
to  provide  our  employees  with  competitive  and  innovative 
compensation  packages.  We  have  devised  variable  pay 
programs 
linking  both  business  unit  performance  and 
individual performance. As a pioneering effort among all Indian 
IT companies, Wipro started providing long term incentives by 
granting  restricted  stock  units  (RSU’s)  in  2004  towards  long 
term retention of key talent/ niche skills. Our benefits program 
takes an integrated approach and provides a range of options 
for  better  financial  and  social  security  including  efficient 
tax-management    options,  insurance  &  medical  packages, 
assistance in managing financial and personal issues. 

Our  programs  are  reviewed  to  ensure  relevance  to  today’s 
changing  workforce  and  mirrors  the  latest  industry  offerings, 
based on the region’s local regulations / laws and norms. 

Employee  Engagement  &  Empowerment:  We  believe  that 
an  informed  workforce  is  an  empowered  workforce  and  only 
when employees are aware of the policies and processes that 
impact  them,  can  they  truly  participate  in  the  consultation 
process.  With  this  in  view,  we  have  institutionalized  various 
channels  that  create  awareness,  foster  dialogue,  and  provide 
opportunities  for  employees  to  give  feedback. These  include 
awareness  campaigns  through  mailers,  blogs,  webchats, 
webinars,  policy  sessions    group  announcements  for  key 
organizational  changes/updates,  quarterly 
‘Wipro  Meets’ 
session  with  the  CEO  and  senior  leadership  teams,  All  Hands 
Meet with business leaders, and group and individual connect 
sessions  with  the  human  resources  teams.  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.  Defined  metrics 
on  employee-connect  events  are  embedded  in  the  key 
performance areas of leaders and the HR function alike.

Careers & Capability: In the face of changing client expectations 
and the advent of rapidly changing technologies, it has become 
imperative to have a platform that equips the organization with 
futuristic  skills  and  competencies.  Anticipating  and  defining 
future  needs  and  developing  these  competencies  in  the 
employees is vital to organizational sustainability. Wipro offers 
multiple learning & development opportunities to employees 
at various stages of their career. These are aimed at upskilling, 
cross-skilling,  and  reskilling  through  a  number  of  training 
programs  in  technical,  domain,  soft  skills,  and  leadership 
aspects.  While  dedicated  teams  identify  learning  needs  at 
an  organizational  level,  employees  partake  in  identifying 
their  individual  learning  needs  through  appraisals,  feedback 
surveys,  and  career  tools.  Our  performance  management 

system is designed to achieve holistic employee development 
through  performance  differentiation, 
transparency,  and 
effective  evaluation. There  is  a  structured  process  of  formally 
and objectively evaluating one’s performance against defined 
goals & objectives. In FY 15-16, we moved away from ‘bell curve’ 
rating fitment, hence giving managers complete ownership to 
rate  their  team’s  performance,  while  at  the  same  time  being 
accountable  to  align  individual  to  unit  performance.  As  part 
of the performance evaluation process, for middle and senior 
management  roles,  feedback  is  also  provided  through  a 
360-degree feedback on leadership competencies. Appropriate 
development  plans  and  interventions  are  then  charted  out 
based on discussion between manager and employee.

C)  Employee Engagement & Empowerment

Wipro  holds  employee  feedback  in  very  high  regard  and 
solicits  this  through  formal  surveys,  informal  forums  like  one 
to one meetings, All Hands Meetings, focus group discussions, 
roundtables and team meetings. Through its social networking 
platform, Yammer, it has enabled employees to crowd source 
ideas  &  suggestions,  provide  real-time  feedback  and  ask 
queries directly to leaders / functional teams.

Freedom  of  Association:  We  respect  the  right  of  employees 
to  free  association  without  fear  of  reprisal,  discrimination, 
intimidation  or  harassment.  A  small  proportion  of  our 
employees  (~1%)  are  represented  through  registered  trade 
local  employee  representative  groups  and  work 
unions, 
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 
change that can impact work environment.

Employee Perception Survey (EPS): Our formal mechanism to 
capture employee feedback is through (1) Biennial Employee 
Perception Survey (EPS), and (2) a shorter dipstick survey (EPS 
Pulse) which is held between two EPS cycles. EPS survey 2015 
saw both an increase of participation and engagement from the 
previous biennial survey in 2013. Our employee engagement 
scores went up by 1 per cent point and employee participation 
scores  went  up  by  4  per  cent  points.  EPS  2015  results  have 
already been studied and action areas for the upcoming year 
have  been  finalized  which  includes  key  initiatives  around 
Manager Effectiveness, Careers & Capability.

Contract  Employee  Engagement:  Our  focus  on  responsible 
people  practices  extends  across  our  people  value  chain,  and 
covers  contract  employees  and  retainers,  primarily  located 
across  our  operations  in  India.  Many  of  these  employees 
are  deployed  at  our  client  sites,  and  a  Partner  Employee 

Engagement  team  (PEET)  is  responsible  for  building  an 
engaged  and  motivated  contract  workforce.  In  FY  15-16,  the 
PEET  team  led  various  initiatives  like  client-site  visits  to  meet 
contractor  employees  to  understand  needs  and  concerns 
&    initiated  programs  to  build  capability  through  training 
programs.  Focused  initiatives  through  these  programs    have 
led to higher engagement and retention levels.

D)  Careers & Capability

Based  on  the  evolution  of  technology  and  customer/market 
dynamics,  our  learning  and  development  (L  &  D)  function 
launched  multiple  programs  to  upskill/reskill  employees  in 
technical  as  well  as  behavioral  competencies.  Employees 
built  their  capabilities  through  e-learning  modules,  expert 
and  peer  learning,  project  trainings,  webinar  participation, 
outbound trainings, on-job learnings & mentoring. Year 2015-
16 saw an impetus on assessments for key roles and specialists; 
and  enablement  of  the  sales  teams  through  sales  training 
workshops.

One key area of focus has been to ensure that our employees 
are trained in Digital and quickly deployed:

1.  Approximately  15,000  employees  trained  through  an 
innovative  platform  called  “Future  Ready”  for  building 
Awareness on Digital Technologies for all customer-facing 
roles. 

2.  Over 20,000 employees trained on core digital technologies 

through Digital Foundation Academy.

3.  Over  4000 

  employees  benefitted  from  a  program 
called  Cutting  EDGE  program  which  trained  employees 
on  advanced  skills  for  Digital  transformation,  such  as 
Digital Architecture, Big Data, Analytics and Mobile Apps 
Development.

Besides the above, through our ‘Train to Bill’ initiative , employees 
whose projects are nearing end or are between projects to be 
deployed to new projects, are  imparted just in time training to 
suit the needs of the new project.  The L&D team works with the 
business teams to identify the gap in the skills of the employee. 
Just In Time training is provided to address skill gaps so that the 
employee can then be deployed in new project opportunities. 
This initiative aligns training to the business demand and helps 
in rapidly fulfilling customer requirements. 

For a number of our capability building programs, Yammer has 
been used extensively for social learning. For example, groups 
have been created focusing on specific technologies/roles in the 
organization, where employees can come together to effectively 
learn from each other. After classroom training, the faculty use 
this  platform  to  engage  with  the  participants  for  continued 
learning. The discussions are analyzed to derive feedback which 
enables L&D to improve training programs. To generate interest, 
we launched a competition across the various groups in Yammer 
on  how  they  could  use  the  social  media  platform  effectively 

Wipro Limited

for  learning. The  groups  were  measured  on  the  number  of 
discussion threads and responses, as well as the quality of the 
posts. There  was  enthusiastic  participation  and  many  of  the 
groups  demonstrated  creative  and  innovative  ways  of  using 
social media for learning. Over a period of just 6 months, more 
than 8,000 employees participated in learning groups, posting 
85,000 threads of discussion.

Governance approach – Human Capital
It is our belief that long-term sustainability requires a structured 
approach  to  identify,  monitor,  and  measure  indicators  of 
performance  and  drive  higher  accountability. With  this  in 
view, we have built people indicators like attrition, employee 
satisfaction  scores,  employee  engagement  initiatives,  talent 
development  initiatives  into  the  goals  and  targets  of  people 
functions  and  leaders  who  have  maximum  influence  in 
impacting them. This has created a higher level of accountability 
and drive in improving people indicators. The indicators provide 
key  insights  into  the  effectiveness  of  people  strategies  and 
are  reviewed  regularly  both  at  organizational  and  individual 
business unit levels through one-to-one performance reviews 
and team reviews. 

INNOVATION (INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL)

CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT  
(SOCIAL AND RELATIONSHIP CAPITAL)

IT  industry  is  undergoing  tremendous  change  in  the  face  of 
disruptive  technologies.  Customer  stewardship  hinges  on 
meeting  customer  expectations  by  being  responsive  to  the 
emerging  trends  and  offering  a  portfolio  of  products  and 
services which integrate resource efficiency, dematerialization, 
organizational transparency, connectedness and collaboration- 
to  meet  changing  customer  needs.  Customer  engagement  is 
critical to meet customer expectations and engagement is the 
foundation on which stewardship rests. Engaging better with 
customers improves customer retention.

According to a research conducted by Harvard Business School, 
a 5% increase in customer retention can result in a profit increase 
of 25% to 95%, depending on the industry. The key to retaining 
customers is building strong relationships with them and this 
requires prolonged and sustained customer engagement. Efforts 
towards  customer  engagement  are  justified  by  the  lifetime 
value  (LTV)  of  the  retained  customer.  A  retained  customer  is 
cost effective as it will require comparatively less service, at the 
same time providing more business. It is revenue enhancing as

providing positive referrals.

Approach
Wipro  believes  in  creating  value  for  the  customer  over  and 
above  the  contracted  terms.  Our  approach  is  based  on 
our  vision  of  delivering  maximum  value  to  our  customer 
businesses based on a solid relationship of trust, collaboration 
and  competence. We  ensure  this  by  providing  solutions  that

interaction with the client. The processes include CSAT Program, 
Quarterly  pulse  surveys  and  the  Annual  CSAT  conducted 
through  third  party  surveys. These  are  conducted  formally 
and at appropriate intervals to capture customer feedback on 
Wipro. We conduct surveys on brand perception to  understand 
customer’s expectation of Wipro and Wipro’s position relative to 
its competitors. 

The Wipro  Leaders  survey  is  an  annual  360  degree  feedback 
mechanism.  In  this ‘Customer  Centricity’  is  a  key  leadership 
attribute  on  which  a  leader  is  given  feedback  by  his  peers, 
managers and reportees. This feedback is both quantitative & 
qualitative and is analyzed and shared with employees. 

The  Customer  Advocacy  Group  (CAG)  in  Wipro  is  part  of 
the  Quality  organization  and  drives  customer  satisfaction 
improvement  initiatives  for  the  organization. This  group  is 
responsible for enabling and tracking the early warning system 
and for addressing alerts before they can potentially become 
serious customer issues. The team is also responsible for driving 
effective closures of customer escalations.

Sustainability Expectations from Customers
Apart  from  technology  driven  value  creation,  our  global 
customers also expect transparency and compliance on different 
sustainability aspects within our operations and in our extended 
value chain. Many customers require acceptance and alignment 
with their supplier code of conduct. Third party supply chain CSR 
raters like Ecovadis and Verego regularly assess and profile our 
sustainability performance in their platform which is used by 
more than 30 customers of Wipro. In the recent assessment by 
Ecovadis, we have achieved an overall CSR rating of Gold (highest 
among possible three levels). Verego has rated us “Best in Class” 
across  all  the  5  areas  (Leadership,  Ethics,  People,  Community 
and Environment) and designated us as a “CSR Thought Leader”. 
We have been assessed by customers for industry consortium 
developed  sustainability  protocols  like  the  JAC  (Joint  Audit 
Consortium)  of  Europe  based  telecom  companies  and  the 
Pharmaceutical  Supply  Chain  Initiative  (PSCI). We  also  have 
been  benchmarked  against  over  4,000  other  companies  that 
responded  to  CDP’s  2015  supply  chain  information  request 
sent on behalf of 74 CDP supply chain members with over US$2 
trillion spend and received a disclosure score of 100 which is the 
best possible score.

SUPPLIER  ENGAGEMENT 
(SOCIAL AND RELATIONSHIP CAPITAL)

We  value  our  suppliers  as  key  stakeholders  and  believe  in 
engaging  with  them  beyond  the  scope  of  legal  compliance. 
The program is driven more by responsible engagement and 
commitment as informed by our values. Our Code of Business 
Conduct which provides the ethical guidelines and expectations 
for  conducting  business  directs Wipro’s  relationship  with  its 
suppliers  and  is  applicable  to  all  suppliers,  agents,  service 
providers, channel partners, dealers, distributors and vendors 
(“Suppliers”).

In the reporting year, the procurement leadership and Chief Risk 
Office took up the Initiative of meeting suppliers across three 
locations - Chennai, Pune and Hyderabad.   The Team has covered 
significant numbers of suppliers in the Facilities management 
category. This  initiative  is  taken  up  with  primary  objective  of 

meeting  all  the  supplier  to  ensure  they  follow  the  risk  and 
compliance  processes  and  statutory  guidelines  adherence  to 
support  compliance with Wipro’s supplier code of conduct. A 
dedicated vendor helpdesk handles supplier queries on payment 
issues, policy clarifications and provides the initial contact for 
grievance redressal. 

Our approach to engagement is multi-pronged and the focus 
is  to  improve  the  capabilities  of  suppliers  in  managing  their 
sustainability performance.  

The approach is represented below:

A  significant  feature  of  our  engagement  is  how  we  align  our 
community or CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) programs 
with  supplier  engagement  wherever  it  is  possible. This  can 
address some of the fundamental issues at hand – our bridge 
program in education for children of migrant laborers for our new 
infrastructure projects and city municipal solid waste workers are 
some examples of areas of engagement in Bengaluru.

Various strands of our Supply Chain Sustainability program:

1.  Risk assessment or materiality study of  our supply chain 
– Trucost (UK), Fronesys (UK) and Supply Chain audits of 
key  support  services  by  DNV  has  helped  us  identify  and 
prioritize supply chain areas for engagement

2. 

Supplier  Code  of  Conduct  -    Communication  and 
evangelization through on-boarding, supplier meets and 
other forums

3.  Quarterly supplier audit for human rights and labor practice 

based on materiality assessment.

4.  Green  procurement  guidelines  based  on  EPEAT  (Green 

Electronics Council) communicated to suppliers 

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 5.4% 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 75% of our suppliers are 
based in India; by value 66% 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.

EDUCATION & COMMUNITY
(SOCIAL AND RELATIONSHIP CAPITAL)

At Wipro, we think that it is critical for business to engage with 
the  social  and  ecological  challenges  that  face  humanity  in  a 
deep  and  meaningful  manner  with  long  term  commitment; 
for that is the only way by which real change can happen on 
the ground. We try to engage with communities on issues that 
matter to them most.

Approach

Wipro’s social initiatives center on the following dimensions.
•	

Education:  Engaging  in  deep  and  meaningful  systemic 
work in the area of school and college education

•	

•	

Community Care: Engaging with the community on issues 
of utmost concern to them

Ecology: Addressing environmental issues

Governance

The review of our social programs is done at multiple levels. Every 
three to four years, the program strategy is reviewed with the 
Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO), and revised as needed. Every 
year, an annual review and goal setting exercise is done with 
the CSO and presented to the Chairman and Group Executive 
Council  (CEC).  Every  quarter,  the  progress  is  reviewed  by  the 
CSO  and  presented  to  the  Chairman  as  well  as  to  the  Board 
Committee on CSR.

Our  work  with  organizations  is  usually  in  the  nature  of 
programmatic  support. They  typically  span  a  period  of  three 
years and may be extended further, if needed. We work closely 
with  our  partners  and  review  the  progress  and  participate 
in  important  decisions  along  with  them  during  the  lifecycle 
of  the  project.  Details  of  the  Corporate  Social  Responsibility 
(CSR) spend across areas and the list of partners is disclosed in 
Director’s Report section of this report. 

Key Programs

Education

Wipro Applying Thought in Schools  

Wipro  Applying Thought  in  Schools  is Wipro’s  social  initiative 
in school education that aims to build capacities for systemic 
reform  in  India.  We  support  social  organizations  across 
India  working  in  education  reform  through  partnerships  in 
educational  interventions  such  as  curriculum  and  material 
development,  assessment  reform,  advocacy,  teacher  capacity 
building and systemic capacity building. Over the past 15 years, 
we have associated with 69 organizations at different levels. We 
have provided financial support to 51 organizations.

We are currently in a phase of expanding our work. Drawing on 
our experience from the last 15 years, we aim to significantly 
increase  the  number  of  organizations  that  we  support,  with 
a special focus on new and early stage organizations. The key 
objective  of  2015-16  has  been  to  lay  the  ground  and  initiate 
the expansion.

Wipro-earthian

Wipro-earthian  is Wipro’s  Sustainability  Education  Program 
which  seeks  to  support  and  drive  sustainability  thinking  and 
action  through  the  learning  process  in  school  and  colleges 
across India. The program completed 5 years in 2015.  In 2015-
16, we saw very enthusiastic response reflecting in a massive 
increase in participation numbers, outreach and representation. 
We  achieved  wide  geographical  representation  in  21  states, 
45  districts  and  increased  our  reach  to  2,000  schools,  1,500 
colleges and 2,200 teachers. This was achieved by developing 
new partnerships with 6 state government bodies and 3 civil 
society organizations who played a key role in ground outreach. 
Our  cumulative  outreach  was  more  than  10,000  educational 
institutes  via  social  media  and  other  digital  channels.  Fiscal 
year 2015-16 saw the program being translated to 4 languages 
and our total submissions have crossed 1,300 which is a 3- fold 
increase and the highest ever. Nine college and 12 school teams 
selected as winners by national jury and felicitated by Mr. Azim 
Premji at the annual Wipro-earthian awards.

The  Continuous  Engagement  Program  (CEP)  program  aims 
promote  integrated  sustainability  education  in  schools  and 
colleges and to co-create educational practices within institutions 
that leads to sustainability action and thinking. In colleges CEP 
was  driven  by  a  few  key  initiatives  such  as  our  Sustainability 
Internship  program  where  we  facilitated  a  diverse  range  of 
sustainability  internship  opportunities  through  our  partner 
ecosystem for 10 students from 6 winning colleges. As a first, 
2015 also saw the launch of the Wipro-earthian Sustainability 
quiz where we successfully ran quizzes at the Indian Institute of 
Management (IIM) Ahmedabad Confluence festival and the IIM 
Bangalore Exemius festival where 227 teams and 681 students 
participated. Two  noteworthy  initiatives  were  the  launch  of 
the Wipro  Sustainability  Fellowships  at  IIM  Bangalore  as  well 
as the co-curation of a round table discussion on sustainability 
education which was attended by 60 regional colleges in Orissa. 
As a part of our strategic collaboration with XUB, Bhubaneshwar 
we also facilitated a one month sustainability discovery program 
across India for 6 students from the PG program at the Xavier 

School  of  Sustainability. The  CEP  program  in  schools  focused 
on  curricular  intervention-  where  we  developed  a  unique 
sustainability  curriculum  for Wipro-earthian  schools  which  is 
being piloted in 9 schools across India.

Wipro Science Education Fellowship Program 
in the U.S.A.

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 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 USD 7.8 million 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.

Mission 10X

Mission10X  is  a  not-for-profit  initiative  of  Wipro  Limited 
which  was  started  on  September  5,  2007  towards  enhancing 
the  employability  skills  of  engineering  students  by  building 
capacity  of  engineering  education  infrastructure. 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 educational interventions.  
The following three essential attributes of a ‘Graduate engineer’ 
are covered in all Mission10X interventions:

•

Community Care

Wipro Cares

Wipro  Cares  is  a  not-for-profit  trust  that  engages  with  our 
proximate  communities  on  the  issues  of  Education  for  the 
Underprivileged,  Primary  Health-Care  and  Environment.  In 
addition,  the  trust  also  works  on  long-term  rehabilitation  of 
affected communities after natural disasters. 

Wipro  matches  1:1  all  monetary  contributions  made  by 
employees to Wipro Cares. The number of employee contributors 
stands at more than 51,000, possibly making this the largest such 
example in India and the world. 

Key Updates of 2015-16:

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 
65,000 children benefited from the sixteen education projects 

in  the  cities  of  Pune,  Hyderabad,  Kolkata,  Mumbai,  Dimapur, 
Bangalore,  Delhi  and  Chennai. These  projects  support  and 
enable children to stay in school through remedial education, 
nutrition,  drinking  water  facility,  health  check-ups  and  solar 
heating-lighting facilities. We also expanded into the North-East 
specifically targeting children of migrant labourers through non-
formal  education  and  thereby  mainstreaming  these  children 
into formal education.

Disability: We have 12 projects through which we are currently 
supporting  the  educational  and  rehabilitative  needs  of  over 
2,500 underprivileged children with disabilities in the cities of 
Bengaluru, Pune, Jaipur, Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai and Hyderabad.  
A  wide  range  of  disabilities  were  covered,  including Visual, 
Speech & Hearing, Locomotor, Intellectual and Developmental 
disabilities. 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. Many projects also include capacity building of 
families and communities to identify and manage disability at 
an early stage.

Primary  Healthcare:  Our  primary  health  care  projects,  in 
partnership  with  NGOs,  typically  provide  quality  preventive 
and curative health care services to underserved communities. 
Through two of our health care projects, covering 60 villages 
across  Maharashtra  &  Nagaland  we  are  providing  more  than 
30,000  people  access  to  primary  health  care.    Apart  from 
providing  regular  curative  services,  we  are  augmenting  the 
existing state infrastructure, training ASHA workers and building 
capacity of local groups and thus providing health care services 
in hard-to-reach remote villages to tribal communities as well 
as generating awareness on health rights.

Environment: We are working on providing social and nutrition 
security to about 2,000 waste workers in Bangalore, through a 
solid waste management project, along with upgrading their 
skills to assist them in augmenting their livelihood and live a 
life of dignity. This project has further been scaled up to focus 
on providing waste pickers the access to social, nutritional, and 
health security.

Annual Report 2015-16

Disaster  Rehabilitation: Wipro  Cares  focuses  on  long  term 
rehabilitation  of  the  affected  communities  after  a  natural 
disaster. We do this because we think that any kind of natural 
calamity usually affects the social fabric of the community and 
it  is  important  for  us  to  address  that  impact.  In  2015-16,  we 
continued support to communities affected by the Uttarakhand 
Floods  and  initiated  a  project  to  work  with  1,000  families 
on  exploring  alternative  modes  of  livelihood  to  reduce  their 
economic dependence on tourism and increase their resilience 
as  a  community. Wipro  Cares  also  supported  the  victims  of 
Chennai floods in December 2015 by collaborating with NGOs 
experienced in disaster relief operations and worked with the 
local government to help affected communities with particular 
focus  on  disadvantaged  groups  and  those  living  near Wipro 
campuses.

In  Philippines  we  initiated  two  projects  for  underprivileged 
and  disaster-affected  communities  in  partnership  with 
International  Care  Ministries  (ICM)  and World Wildlife  Fund 
(WWF) to address key developmental issues of the underserved 
and underprivileged communities in the country by building 
capacity  of  local  groups  through  Health  lessons  that  cover  a 
wide curriculum that ranges from nutrition, disease prevention, 
to proper sanitation; and Livelihood classes to equip participants 
with different backyard small businesses to earn a living within 
their immediate community. 

Employee  Engagement:    More  than  51,000  Wiproites 
contributed  monetarily  to Wipro  Cares,  making  this  possibly 
the  largest  such  initiative  in  India  and  one  of  the  largest  in 
the  world.  Employee  volunteering  efforts  doubled  with  over 
7,703  employees  (globally)  engaged  in  voluntary  activities 
contributing to 14,434 hours in 2015-16. We organized various 
volunteering events and 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  25  volunteering  chapters,  13  in  India  and  12  overseas. 
Employees are keen participants in the ongoing causes such as 
education for underprivileged children, children with disabilities, 
biodiversity and environment, animal care, old age home, and 
feeding the poor and homeless, amongst others causes. We also 
have  employees  join  volunteering  efforts  across  Asia  Pacific, 
Japan, USA, Philippines, Romania and Continental Europe.

Wipro South Africa Initiatives

As an IT company operating in South Africa, Wipro’s CSR strategy

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. 
At Wipro, our community programs on water and waste are two 
examples of such interventions.

Scope of Reporting

India:  All  61  locations,  the  majority  of  operations  are  from 
23  owned  locations  including  3  data  centers  operational, 
representing 80% of our workforce.  

Overseas:  139 locations, which includes 7 customer data centers. 
A majority 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

In our set of goals which ended in 2015, we aimed to reduce our 
Scope 1 and Scope 2 people-based emissions intensity figures 
by half from the 2010 baseline. This financial year, we undertook 
a target setting exercise to propose targets running from the 
2015-16  to  2019-20.  Over  the  last  couple  of  years,  different 
frameworks  have  evolved  for  setting  GERTs  (GHG  Emissions 
Reduction Target). Once such framework is the science based 
target setting from WRI (World Resource Institute) that tries to 
align itself with the 2 degree imperative i.e. global emissions by 
2050 to be 20% of 1990 levels so as to stay within the threshold 
of 2 degree rise in average surface temperature.

While  we  have  studied  and  incorporated  the WRI  framework 
to the extent that is relevant, our methodology has also been 
driven by empirical considerations that are more pertinent to 
the IT industry sector and to India. We have adopted targets for 
2025 and 2030 also and these will be revisited at the next target 
review exercise in 2020.

Energy and GHG Emissions Goals:

1.  Absolute Scope 1+2 GHG emissions - Absolute emissions 

reduction of around 35000 tons.

Energy Intensity in terms of EPI - Cumulative reduction of 
11% in EPI over 5 years

2. 

58

Scope 1+2 GHG emission intensity on Floor Area (FAR) basis 
- Cumulative reduction of 33 % in GHG intensity from 140 
Kg / Sq. Mt (kpsm) to 94 kpsm of CO –eq

4.  Renewable  Energy  -  Doubling  renewable  energy 
procurement of 65 Million units as on 2014-15 to a target 
of 135 Million units in 2019-20.

For  Energy  Efficiency,  in  line  with  industry  standards,  we 
are  shifting  from ‘Per  Employee’  based  metrics  to  Floor  Area 
(FAR)  based  metrics. The  accepted  standard  is  EPI  or  Energy 
Performance Indicator which is equivalent to Energy Per Unit 
of Floor Area for a defined number of working hours per day.

We have deliberately not set a Carbon Neutral goal or an offset 
program  for  reducing  Scope  1  and  2  emissions  due  to  the 
externalities involved in most alternatives like embedded carbon 
and water footprint, land  use change and  broader ecological 
and social sustainability issues involved in such programs. For 
example,  mass  afforestation  of  a  single  species  over  a  large 
area  may  help  achieve  a  carbon  reduction  goal  but  have  a 
high negative impact on water sustainability, biodiversity and 
livelihoods.

Energy Consumption: The total energy consumption, electricity 
and back-up diesel generated, for office spaces across all global 
operations in IT is 322 Mn Units (India adds to 299 Mn units).  
Data centers, India and overseas (USA and Germany) contribute 
to another 92 Mn units.

Office  Space  Energy  Metrics:  Energy  efficiency  measures 
contributed to a 3.7% decrease in office space energy intensity 
from 195 to 189 units per sq. meter per annum. This is primarily 
from 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.

Emissions Intensity: Our India office space emissions intensity 
(Scope 1 and Scope 2) is at 116 Kg Co2 eq. per Sq. Mt. per annum, 
a decrease of 10.8% from last year.  

Absolute Emissions: The dashboard in page no. 59 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  2015-16  has  decreased  by  around  5% 
primarily due to higher share of renewable energy procurement.

GHG  Mitigation:  Our  five  year  GHG  mitigation  consists  of 
three key elements – Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy (RE) 
Purchase and Captive RE; of this, RE procurement will contribute 
the maximum, 80% share to GHG emission mitigation strategy.

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 18 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 
2016, 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  2015-
16,  we  procured  75  Mn  units  of  Renewable  energy 
through PPAs (Power Purchase agreements) with private 
producers,  which  contributed  to  approximately  23%  of 
our  total  India  energy  consumption.  However  this  fell 
short of our target of 82 Mn units for the reporting year. 
The mainstay of accessing RE for open access consumers 

like us has been through direct power purchase agreement 
from producers in select states. Each state in India has its 
own mechanism on effecting access to open access- either 
due to distribution company’s finances or infrastructure not 
being in place to enable large scale evacuation and storage 
of renewable power.  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. In order to avoid double 
accounting, we have taken adequate steps by including 
non-tradability  of  Renewable  Energy  Certificate  (REC) 
for  contracted  power  through  contracts  and  including 
verification of generation in the regulators national  REC 
registry.

•	

Captive	RE:  The pilot rooftop Solar PV installations at 3 
of our campuses followed by extensive use of solar water 
heaters in our guest blocks and cafeterias have resulted in 
equivalent savings of 1.3 Mn units of grid electricity. 

Scope 3 Emissions: A summary of our Scope 3 emissions 
(other indirect sources) is provided below.  Out of the 15 
categories of scope 3 reporting as per the new GHG corporate 
value chain standard, we are presently reporting on all of the 8

The  overall  emissions  across  all  scopes  is  672,502  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  (32%),  Business Travel  (26%),  Employee  Commute 
(15%)  and  Upstream  fuel  and  energy  emissions  (15%). 

Business  Travel:  The  IT  services  outsourcing  model  require 
frequent travel to customer locations, mainly overseas, across 
the  delivery  life  cycle  and  contributes  to  around  a  quarter  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 
and  budget-based  travel  approval  and  increasing  focus  on  
processes  which  enable  remote  working  and  collaboration 
are  some  of  the  cost  and  process  optimization  measures 
implemented over past few years. 

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  (37%),  employees  utilize  public  transport  (~-45%), 
with owned cars and two wheelers accounting for the balance.   
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.

Collaborative engagements:

As a member of the Indo-US joint research program - the Solar 
Energy  Research  Institute  for  India  and  the  United  States 
(SERIIUS),  we  are  supporting  a  long  term  program  “Design 
and  development  of  smart  micro-grid  technologies  for  large 
scale decentralized solar power applications in Indian villages 
- The Zero Energy Village concept”. 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

We  also    coordinated  the  CEO  forum  on  Climate  Change  as 
part of COP-21 in Paris and our CEO was one of the co-authors 
of an article on climate change. We are signatories to the Paris 
Pledge  on  Carbon  Emissions  through  the  World  Economic 
Forum.

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.

60

Annual Report 2015-16

 Goals
•	 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  1.295  m3  per  month 
as  compared  to  1.36  in  2014-15,  an  improvement  of  around 
4.78%.  We  recycle  884,245  m3  of  water  in  27  of  our  major 
locations (959,620 in 2014-15) using Sewage Treatment Plants 
(STPs),  which  represents  32%  (35%  in  2014-15)  of  the  total 
water  consumed. The  percentage  of  this  recycled  water  as  a 
percentage  of  freshwater  extracted  is  around  52%.    We  have 
recently  commissioned  ultra-filtration  and  RO  units  for  STP 
treated  water  at  three  of  our  locations.    Harvested  rainwater 
contributes to nearly 2% of our total freshwater consumption 
–  which  we  intend  to  scale  to  around  5%  in  the  next  couple 
of  years. We  continue  to  focus  on  demand  side  optimization 
measures though efficiency and better operational governance.

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 57% of the sourced water.  The majority of the balance 
41% is from private sources near our operational facilities. The 

Ground water science for community action

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. 

Participatory Ground Water Mapping Program (PGWM):

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 
40-50% 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. 

As part of our Responsible Water program, we aim to create a 
community centered participatory approach for management 
of ground water and lakes in the area. This involves developing 
an understanding of the hydrogeology of the watershed area 
and  specific  clusters  and  community  engagement  through 
development of communication materials and advocacy.

boundaries. The network is now working to incorporate itself 
as a society with a strong governance framework, scale up its 
activities  for  larger  impact,  and  engage  with  Government  to 
inform policy.

Pollution and Waste Management:

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.
92%  of  the  total  solid  waste  (up  from  90%    in  2014-15)    of 
6,368 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 
mixed  solid  waste,  construction  debris  and  some  categories 
of  inorganic  waste  is  landfilled.  Our  plan  is  to  reduce  Mixed 
Solid  Waste  (MSW)  generation  at  source  and  further  drive 
segregation  into  recyclable  organic-inorganic  to  increase 
diversion from landfills. 

We  are  also  piloting  recycling  options  for  certain  categories 
like Thermocol and construction debris. The revised operating

procedures  and  recycler  requirements  for  electronic  end  of 
life  enable  better  traceability  and  disclosure  of  downstream 
recycler  practices.  We  would  work  with  our  partners  and 
vendors  in  driving  better  practices  and  behaviors  keeping  in 
mind both human and ecological impacts of any changes. 
We  monitor  diesel  generator  stack  emissions  (NOx,  Sox  and 
SPM) and indoor air quality (CO, CO2, VOC’s, RSPM are the key 
parameters)  across  locations  every  month.  These  meet  the 
specified regulatory norms.

In collaboration with InfoActiv, 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.  A  common  e-waste  collection  center  has  been 
commissioned  and  regular  end  of  life  electronic  material  is 
being  collected.  Apart  from  this,  we  continued  to  be  part  of

We  continually  assess  operational  risks  to  the  environment 
and  apply  the  precautionary  principle  in  our  approach  to 
gain  insights  and  plan  –  for  example,  the  responsible  water

there  were  no  instances  of  environmental  fines  imposed  or 
negative  consequences  reported  due  to  our  operations.  We 
proactively monitor regulatory compliances with respect to air, 
water and waste – and the emissions and waste generated by 
the organization are based on updated and approved consents 
as on date from respective State and Central Pollution control 
boards.  We  proactively  respond  to  queries  and  clarifications 
received by regulatory bodies.

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 
improving  water 
retention  and  ambient  air  quality.  Our  first  flagship  project 
in  the  Electronic  City  campus  in  Bangalore  was  initiated  5 
years back with the first phase of a unique Butterfly Park now 
completed. Our next phase includes an innovatively conceived 
wetland biodiversity zone that will use recycled water. 

intensity, 

We  have  completed  the  first  phase  of  work  on  biodiversity 
retrofit projects at our two campuses in Pune with a rigorous 
and  continuing  assessment  of  seasonal  census  of  flora  and 
fauna biodiversity. This project envisages five thematic gardens 
– aesthetic and palm garden, spring garden, Ficus garden, spice 
and fruit garden – through plantations of native species from 
the local geography. For one campus in Pune, the total number 
of native species has nearly trebled from 59 to 242. In all these 
programs we work closely with expert partners in biodiversity, 
conservation, ecological design and communications. 

A  work  environment  which  integrates  biodiverse  and  natural 
design principles has multiple intangible benefits for employees 
and  visitors  –  it  helps  build  a  larger  sense  of  connectedness 
and  emphasizes  values  of  sensitivity  and  our  place  in  the 
world  around  us.  We  regularly  conduct  photography,  nature 
journaling,  walks  and  plantation  activities  for  employees  and 
their children.

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 International Union of Conservation 
Networks  (IUCN).  We  chair  CII-IBBI’s  southern  chapter  on 
biodiversity for business. We also presented at the CII National 
conference  on  biodiversity.  We  have  been  supporting  the 
“World  Sparrow  Day”  and  the “Wipro-Nature  Forever  Society 
Sparrow Awards” for the past five years.

Wipro’s Natural Capital Valuation Program – 
An update

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 national government-led projects 
underway  which  aim  to  develop  environmental  accounts 
and  integrate  them  with  traditional  national  accounts  (GDP) 
including India. UN Principle of Responsible Investing (UNPRI), 
in  2010,  estimated  the  environmental  costs  due  to  activities 
of top 3,000 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  (UK),  has  completed  a 
natural capital valuation exercise for the previous two financial 
year  2013-14  and  2014-15. The  valuation  for  2015-16  will  be 
completed by August 2016 – however the trends are 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 models and a selection of global and local 
factors - hence certain assumptions and accounting rules are 
inherent to the exercise.

The  total  environmental  costs  relating  to  Wipro’s  operations 
and supply chain was estimated at INR 10,075 million for the 
fiscal  year  2014-15. The  largest  contributions  (see  first  chart) 
came  from  GHG  emissions  (51%),  water  abstraction  and 
pollution  (25%)  and  air  pollution  (20%).  The  second  chart 
below  shows  the  breakdown  in  environmental  costs  across 
each  value  chain  stage.  The  operational  value  chain  stage 
accounted for 36% of Wipro’s total environmental cost. From a 
geography perspective, as expected, India accounts for 82% of 
the overall environmental cost.

The  above  figures  are  net  of  our  positive  valuation  that 
are  attributable  to  our  environmental 
initiatives.  Wipro’s 
environmental initiatives such as emissions reduction activities, 
renewable  energy  procurement  and  water  recycling  reduced 
its  overall  environmental  costs  by  INR  884  million  (9%  of  the 
total 2014-15 environmental costs).

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.

Annexure V: Corporate Social Responsibility Report for the year 2015-16

We  present  our  report  on Wipro’s  social  and  environmental 
initiatives, which are also referred to as CSR, for 2015-16. The 
year can be characterized as continuity amidst change. While 
we  expanded  some  of  our  programs  in  scale  and  scope,  our 
basic  strategic  direction  remained  the  same. This  strategic 
foundation is something that has been built over the last fifteen 
years since we started our first program in social and community 
engagement in 2001. The core elements of our strategy are as 
follows:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

The values of Spirit of Wipro guides all our actions.

To conduct our business on sound ethical principles and 
widely  accepted  tenets  of  good  corporate  governance. 
This includes compliance in letter and spirit with laws and 
regulations everywhere we operate.

To make our organization more sustainable as defined by 
the  triple  bottom-line  framework. The  primary  areas  of 
focus are to (i) reduce our ecological footprint (ii) foster a 
more diverse, empowered and fair workplace.

To engage with identified social challenges in a manner 
that is deliberative and systemic. We have chosen to focus 
on Education and Ecology.

To work with communities who are proximate to wherever 
we  have  significant  operational  presence.  As  a  global 
organization, we think that, it is important to try and make 
a difference to communities everywhere and not only in 
India.

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 2015-16 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 
website www.wipro.com.

A. 

Education

Our  work  in  education  covers  a  range  of  initiatives  that 
span early childhood care and education including school 
education and higher education and systemic reforms to 
children with disabilities to sustainability education.  Apart 
from India, we have significant programs in the U.S.A. as 
well. The common vision that ties this together is our belief 

that education is a key enabler of change towards a better 
society

A.1 Systemic reforms in school education: Over the past 
15 years, we have worked to contribute to systemic reforms 
in  school  education  in  India,  through Wipro  Applying 
Thought  in  Schools  (WATIS). The  strategy  for  this  has 
been to support the development and strengthening of 
institutional capacity, by supporting organizations working 
in school education reform efforts. We have supported and 
closely partnered with over 70 organizations in different 
areas of systemic improvements in school education. The 
impact  of  this  wide  network  of  education  organizations 
has  been  noticeable  in  India’s  large  education  system, 
including  on  curriculum,  text  books,  teacher  education 
and capacity, research and school leadership. In addition to 
developing long term institutional capacity, our work spans 
113  educational  projects  with  organizations,  involving 
over 18,600 schools and 34,500 educators across 17 states 
reaching out to about 4.4 million students. During 2015-16, 
we initiated a new strategy of accelerating the expansion of 
our partner ecosystem thereby supporting new ideas and 
new organizations. Six new partners were added during 
the  year. Two  of  these  new  initiatives  form  part  of  our 
seeding strategy to support new or early stage ideas from 
committed and competent young people. We supported a 
total of 22 organizations during the year for work that tries 
to address critical issues in the quality of teaching, learning, 
educational material and the school environment. As part 
of the advocacy of such issues, the 16th national forum was 
organized  –  a  unique  platform  that  brings  together  the 
best minds in education in the country to deliberate and 
exchange thoughts and ideas on some of the important 
issues in education.

A.2  Education  for  the  Proximate  Disadvantaged: 
Education is so critical that it is necessary, to engage on 
multiple  fronts. While  systemic  reforms  will  continue  to 
be an important area for us, we also have a large program 
that is designed for more direct impact on disadvantaged 
children.  Run  through  Wipro  Cares,  the  employee-
supported  trust  of Wipro,  the  program  reached  out  to 
more  than  65000  children  in  seven  states. The  number 
of projects in this area increased from 11 in the previous 
year to 16. One of the projects that we started during the 
year was in Nagaland in North-East India which is relatively 
underserved with respect to development.  The projects 
cover disadvantaged children of migrant labourers, from 
tribal communities, urban slums or street children.

An  important  initiative  that  we  started  in  the  previous 
year  was  on  children  with  disability. This  has  scaled  in 
size and scope significantly with 12 running projects that 
reach  out  to  2,500  children  with  disability  who  are  also 
from  socioeconomically  underprivileged  backgrounds. 
Education for such disadvantaged sections is never about 

90

Annual Report 2015-16

 
 
 
 
just schooling. It is linked to a whole host of other enabling 
factors  like  availability  of  nutrition,  community  support, 
specially trained teachers, assistive technology, and access 
to  healthcare  etc.  Our  approach  tries  to  integrate  these 
dimensions to the extent possible. Our work in this space 
covers multiple categories of disability and focuses on early 
intervention and inclusive education. 

A.3. Science Education in the U.S.A.: The Wipro Science 
Education  Fellowship  (SEF)  is  a  significant  program  that 
is  focused  on  contributing  to  improving  Science  and 
Math  education  in  schools  that  serve  disadvantaged 
communities in US cities. This initiative is aligned with the 
U.S.  federal  government’s  priority  on  improving  science 
and math education in their school system. The program 
is currently running in Chicago, New Jersey, New York and 
Boston. 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. 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  current  commitment  of Wipro  to  these  programs  is 
about 7.8 million USD over a period of 5 years, one of the 
largest  such  commitments  made  by  a  non-US  company 
to  the  cause  of  improving  science  and  math  education 
out  there. While  this  expenditure  is  not  allowed  under 
the CSR rules of the Companies Act 2013, we think that 
it  is  important  to  include  this  as  part  of  our  report. We 
would  like  to  highlight  the  underlying  principle  here 
that  corporations  must  engage  with  social  issues  and 
with communities wherever they have large operational 
presence in the world. 

A.4  Sustainability  Education:  Through Wipro-earthian 
we  try  and  bring  together  two  of  our  key  concerns: 
Education and Sustainability. The program completed its 
fifth year in early 2016 and saw a significant expansion to 
10,000  students  and  2,200  school  teachers  across  2,000 
schools in 45 districts across 21 states. During the year, we 
forged new partnerships with civil society organizations 
and  government  bodies  enabling  us  to  expand  our 
reach in the states of Punjab, Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh, 
Odisha, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Our expanded reach also 
included  the  new  languages  of Tamil,  Malayalam  and 
Marathi  in  which  schools  could  participate  and  submit 
entries. Our engagement with colleges on incorporating 
sustainability into higher education saw several strategic 
initiatives started during the year. These include support 
for sustainability research as part of the doctoral program 
at IIM-Bangalore, partnering with IIM-Indore in curricular 
development of a course on sustainability and a strategic 
collaboration with Xavier University, Bhubaneswar for their 
newly initiated School of Sustainability. 

A.5 Technology Education: Given that IT Services industry 

contributes nearly 10 % of India’s GDP and employs more 
than 10 million people, its importance to the Indian and 
global economy is unquestionable. People with the right 
skills  and  competencies  form  the  bedrock  of  IT  services 
organizations.   The  challenge  for  the  Indian  IT  industry 
going forward would be to ensure that the skills required 
for  the  rapidly  changing  dynamic  of  the  industry  are 
met.  As a leading company in this sector, we have always 
owned  this  as  a  primary  responsibility. We  have  been 
doing  this  on  two  important  dimensions:  (a)  Imparting 
post-graduate education in engineering and technology 
to  science  graduates  as  the  foundation  for  further  skills 
development in IT and (b) Capacity building among the 
faculty of engineering colleges.

The Wipro Academy of Software Excellence (WASE) program 
helps Science graduates to study for a Master’s 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 more than 25000 students to 
graduate from the WASE and WISTA programs with an MS 
degree in Software Engineering. During 2015-16, the total 
number of new entrants into the two programs was 1810 
while the aggregate strength across four years was 13805.

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 28,830 faculty 
members across 1300+ engineering colleges in 30 states. 
The  work  involves  faculty  capacity  development,  and 
curricular improvement. The initiative has also catalyzed 
more than 500 student projects. 

B.  Working with Communities Everywhere

A  primary  tenet  of  our  CSR  strategy  is  that  we  must 
engage with communities proximate to wherever we have 
significant operational presence in the world. In particular, 
we choose to work with underprivileged communities. This 
is  organized  through Wipro  Cares,  a  unique  trust  that  is 
based on the operating model of employee contributions 
matched  by Wipro  Ltd.  Our  work  spans  primary  health-
care, education, and ecology and disaster rehabilitation. 
Of  these,  we  have  already  spoken  about  our  work  on 
community education in A2 above. We articulate our work 
and progress on the other dimensions below:

B.1 Primary Health Care: 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, affordable, 
good-quality health care. Wipro Cares works with partners

who oversee the delivery of good quality primary health 
care services to underserved communities covering more 
than  30000  people  in  59  villages  across  Nagaland  and 
Maharashtra. The North-East is relatively underserved in 
terms of development and therefore, we thought that it is 
imperative to start engaging there. Our work in Nagaland 
is  in  remote,  inaccessible  villages  where  health  care 
access has been weak or non-existent till now. Similarly, 
the work that we support in Maharashtra is in the remote 
tribal district of Gadchiroli. In both instances, the primary 
goals are to build the capacity of the local community in 
managing  their  health  needs,  to  augment  government 
infrastructure  and  in  training  health  workers  to  address 
the unique needs of the communities.

B.2  Disaster  Rehabilitation:  Natural  disasters  like 
earthquakes, floods and cyclonic storms are an unfortunate 
fact  of  life. Whenever  these  happen,  the  disadvantaged 
sections get affected the most as the already fragile basis 
of their livelihoods gets further disrupted. Starting with the 
Gujarat earthquake in 2001, we have responded 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. However, there 
are exceptions like the December floods in Chennai when 
we have also got involved in short term relief measures.

During  2015-16,  ’Unnati’  the  rehabilitation  project  that  
we  had  initiated  the  previous  year  in  Uttarakhand 
progressed well on multiple fronts. Our program seeks to 
strengthen local livelihoods of communities in 22 villages 
in  the  Uttarkashi  district  through  improved  farming 
practices  in  organic  agriculture.  A  farmers’  cooperative 
was set up during the year to strengthen market linkages, 
a crucial element in the whole value chain. Chennai saw 
unprecedented rains, floods and widespread damage in 
December 2015.  The situation required immediate actions 
on  several  fronts. We  partnered  with  Goonj  to  provide 
relief in terms of dry rations, food and other essentials to 
thousands of flood affected people in Chennai, Tiruvallur, 
Kanchipuram  and  Cuddalore  districts.  As  always,  our 
employees  rose  up  to  the  occasion  by  contributing 
generously and going the extra mile in volunteering for 
on-the-ground support.

B3.  International  Chapters:  We  initiated  support  for  a 
unique  program  in  North  America  in  partnership  with 
Washington  based  First  Book. The  program  seeks  to 
encourage  reading  by  providing  free  books  to  libraries 
of schools that primarily serve underprivileged children. 
Wipro  employees  across  USA  and  Canada  contributed 
generously in terms of both, money and efforts. This along 
with Wipro’s  own  funding  support  made  it  possible  to 
donate more than 35000 books and education resources. 
Our Romania, Portugal and Philippines chapters also saw 
a  wide  variety  of  employee  activities  covering  areas  as 

diverse as school education, support for the elderly and 
enhancing urban tree cover.

C. 

Ecology & Environment

Managing  economic  development  in  a  manner  that 
does  not  compromise  the  ecological  integrity  of  the 
environment has posed one of the biggest challenges to 
mankind. It will be even more so in the coming decades 
of this century. The manifold problems of climate change, 
water  scarcity,  biodiversity  loss  and  pollution  require  all 
stakeholders to act. Responsible corporations can make a 
significant difference by aligning their resources, energy 
and commitment with these problems in a purposeful way.  
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 salient highlights of our work in 
2015-16.

C.1 The  Challenges  of  Urban Water:  Water  scarcity  is 
perhaps the top most challenge that faces large parts of 
the  world  including  India.  Many  cities  in  India  face  this 
problem in varying dimensions. The city of Bangalore has 
seen  plummeting  ground  water  tables  in  the  past  few 
years, especially in suburban areas like Sarjapur where we 
have a large presence. Over the past three years, we have 
initiated strategic programs that seek to involve multiple 
stakeholders in systemically understanding and addressing 
the  water  problem. The “Participative  Ground  Water 
Program” in its second year, tries to address this problem 
in  the  Sarjapur  area  in  Bangalore  which  is  completely 
dependent on groundwater. By involving citizens, water 
experts and the government, we plan to develop model 
solution templates that combine the science of aquifers, 
crucial  regulatory  changes  and  active  involvement  of 
citizen  groups  in  exchanging  and  implementing  good 
practices  in  rainwater  harvesting  and  wastewater 
treatment. In parallel, the larger city-wide movement on 
water  through  the  Karnataka  State Water  Network  has 
developed good traction with five geographic clusters and 
a lake cluster working on several initiatives together.

C.2. Urban Biodiversity: 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  two  projects  are  in 
our Electronic City, Bangalore and Pune campuses. After 
completing  the  first  phase  of  the  butterfly  park  in  the 
E-City  campus,  the  second  phase  of  creating  an  aquatic 
wetland zone is in an advanced stage of completion. The 
Pune  campus  has  also  seen  a  transformation  over  the 
last  two  years. While  the  number  of  native  species  has 
trebled, the creation of specific ecological spaces within 
the campus – for example, an herbal garden and a kitchen 

92

Annual Report 2015-16

 
 
 
 
 
 
garden – serves to illustrate the multidimensional benefits 
of biodiversity. The importance of biodiversity being what 
it is, we have made it a central plank of our sustainability 
education program, Wipro-earthian as well as with our own 
employees.

C.3 Urban Waste Management:  Effective management of 
urban solid waste continues to be a high priority challenge 
for  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. In this regard, we 
continued to strengthen a project that we had initiated in 
2014-15 which focuses on providing social, nutritional and 
health security to nearly 2000 workers in the informal sector 
in Bangalore’s waste management space. In addition, the 
program also provides a comprehensive skills upgradation 
program for about 200 such workers. Here, let us emphasize 
that in our internal operations, we continue to maintain 
the highest standards of waste management – more than 
95%  of  our  solid  waste,  including  e-Waste,  is  processed 
or  disposed  safely.  In  addition,  we  have  been  actively 
supporting  advocacy  on  effective  handling  of  e-waste 
management at industry and civil society forums.

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 50,000 Wiproites are contributors 
to Wipro  Cares  making  this  possibly  the  largest  such 
initiative in India and one of the largest in the world. During 
2015-16, nearly 7500 employees from across 21 chapters 
collectively  spent  more  than  13600  hours  in  voluntary 
engagement on a wide range of social initiatives. Involved 
and engaged employees add great value to our programs. 
It  also  enhances  their  own  sense  of  larger  purpose  and 
alignment with the Company’s Values.

In conclusion, we would like to emphasize that running 
our CSR initiatives on a bedrock of good governance is a 
matter  of  the  highest  priority. We  do  this  by  combining 
multiple  elements:  (a)  Robust  board  oversight  through 
regular updates and quarterly reviews (b) Large programs 
like Wipro Cares and Wipro Applying Thought in Schools 
have their own board of trustees / governance committees 
that validate all important decisions and provide direction 
(c) Transparent and comprehensive reporting of our CSR 
programs in the public domain so that all stakeholders can 
provide feedback.

We  will  continue  to  ensure  that Wipro’s  social  initiatives 
build on the foundation of the past while remaining alive 
to  the  changes  needed  in  the  future  and  responding 
proactively.  Our  work  will  be  meaningful,  relevant  and 
long-term  oriented  rather  than  being  driven  by  mere 
compliance.

Summary of CSR spend for 2015-16

A  brief  outline  of  the  Company’s  CSR  policy,  including  overview  of  the  projects  or  programs  undertaken  or  proposed  to  be  undertaken  is  available  at  
www.wipro.com. Details are provided as part of Board’s Report on page no. 90-93.

The Composition of the CSR Committee: The terms of reference of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) broadly comprises and forms part of Board Governance, 
Nomination and Compensation Committee and these terms of reference are in accordance with Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013. The Committee comprises  
Dr. Ashok Ganguly, Mr. N Vaghul and Mr. William Arthur Owens.  During the financial year 2015-16, the Committee met five times and in each of the meetings, 
update on CSR initiatives were discussed.
Average Net Profit of the Company for the last three financial years: ` 78,002 Million 

Prescribed CSR Expenditure (two percent of the amount as in the point 3 above): 2% of the average PBT for the financial years 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 
amounts to ` 1,560 Million; against this, our CSR spending for 2015-16 was ` 1,598.22 Million.

Details of the CSR spent during the financial year:

a) 

b) 

c) 

Total amount to be spent for the financial year: ` 1,560 Million

Amount unspent : Not applicable

Manner in which the amount is spent during the financial year is detailed below.

The following table provides a summary of the domain wise expenditure on CSR for 2015-16 along with the geographies. The list of partners with whom collaborate 
is available right below the table.

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. Hence, we have considered to report “cumulative 
expenditure up to previous reporting period” and “cumulative expenditure up to reporting period”.

All our programs are executed and implemented through our partners. The figures under the last column therefore are entirely through our partners.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 
REPORT 2015-16

I.  Wipro’s Philosophy on Corporate Governance

We  believe  in  adopting  best  practices  of  corporate 
governance  and  focus  on  enhancement  of  long  term 
stakeholder  value  without  compromising  on  ethical 
standards and corporate social responsibilities. Corporate 
governance philosophy of Wipro is put into practice through 
robust  board  governance  processes,  internal  control 
systems  and  processes,  and  strong  audit  mechanisms. 
These are articulated through Company’s Code of Business 
Conduct, Corporate Governance Guidelines and charters of 
various sub-committees of the Board of Directors (“Board”) 
and Company’s Disclosure Policy.

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

Intensity to Win
Make customers 
successful
Team, innovate  
and excel

Act with 
Sensitivity
Respect for the 
individual
Thoughtful and 
responsible

Unyielding  
Integrity
Delivering on 
commitments
Honesty and fairness 
in action

Corporate Governance philosophy is put into practice at 
Wipro through the following four layers, namely,

• 

• 

• 

• 

Governance by Shareholders,

Governance by Board of Directors

Governance by Sub-committees of Board, and

Governance through management process

In  this  report,  we  have  provided  details  on  how  the 
corporate  governance  principles  are  put  in  to  practice 
within Wipro.

II.  Board of Directors

Composition of Board

As at March 31, 2016, our Board had seven non-executive 
directors  and  four  executive  directors,  of  which  one 
executive director is the Chairman and Managing Director 
of  our  Board.  All  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

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 and considered while preparation of agenda and 
documents for the Board meeting.

facilitate Directors to provide their inputs and suggestions 
on various strategic and operational matters directly to the 
business and functional heads.

Board Meetings

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 over two days.

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

The Board met six times during the financial year 2015-16 
on April 20-21, 2015, June 3, 2015, July 22-23, 2015, October 
20-21, 2015, January 4, 2016, and January 16-18, 2016. The

IV.  Governance Through Management process

Code of Business Conduct

In the year 1983, we articulated ‘Wipro Beliefs’ consisting 
of  six  statements.  At  the  core  of  beliefs  was  integrity, 
articulated as “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  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. This  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  at  http://www.wipro.com/investors/corporate-
governance/policies-and-guidelines/.

Code for Prevention of Insider Trading

The Company has adopted a Code of Conduct to regulate, 
monitor  and  report  trading  by  insiders  under  the  SEBI 
(Prohibition  of  Insider Trading)  Regulations,  2015. This 
Code  of  Conduct  also  includes  code  for  practices  and 
procedures  for  fair  disclosure  of  unpublished  price 
sensitive information and has been made available on the 
Company’s  website  at  http://www.wipro.com/investors/
corporate-governance/policies-and-guidelines/.

Disclosure Policy

In  line  with  requirements  under  regulation  30  of  the 
Listing Regulations, the Company has framed a policy on 
disclosure of material events and information as per the 
Listing Regulations, which is available on our website at 
http://www.wipro.com/investors/corporate-governance/
policies-and-guidelines/. The  objective  of  this  policy  is 
to  have  uniform  disclosure  practices  and  ensure  timely, 
adequate  and  accurate  disclosure  of  information  on  an 
ongoing basis. The Company has constituted a Disclosure 
Committee consisting of senior officials, which approves 
all disclosures required to be made by the Company. The 
Company  Secretary  acts  as  Secretary  to  the  Disclosure 

Committee. Considering that the Company’s securities are 
listed on New York Stock Exchange, parity in disclosures are 
maintained through simultaneous disclosure on National 
Stock  Exchange  of  India  Limited,  the  Bombay  Stock 
Exchange Limited and the New York Stock Exchange.

Ombuds Policy

The Company has adopted an ombuds process which is 
a  channel  for  receiving  and  redressing  complaints  from 
employees and directors. Under this policy, we encourage 
our employees to report any fraudulent financial or other 
information to the stakeholders, any conduct that results 
in violation of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct, 
to  management  (on  an  anonymous  basis,  if  employees 
so desire). Likewise, under this policy, we have prohibited 
discrimination,  retaliation  or  harassment  of  any  kind 
against  any  employees  who,  based  on  the  employee’s 
reasonable  belief  that  such  conduct  or  practice  have 
occurred  or  are  occurring,  reports  that  information  or 
participates in the investigation. Mechanism followed on 
under  ombuds  process  is  appropriately  communicated 
within  the  Company  across  all  levels  and  has  been 
displayed  on Wipro’s  intranet  and  on Wipro’s  website  at 
http://www.wipro.com/investors/corporate-governance/
policies-and-guidelines/.

Policy for Preservation of Documents

Pursuant  to  the  requirements  under  Regulation  9  of 
the  Listing  Regulations,  the  Board  has  formulated  and 
approved  a  Document  Retention  Policy  prescribing  the 
manner of retaining the Company’s documents and the 
time period up to certain documents are to be retained. 
The policy percolates to all levels of the organization who 
handle the prescribed categories of documents.

Policy for Prevention, Prohibition & Redressal Sexual 
Harassment of Women at Workplace

Pursuant  to  the  requirements  of  Sexual  Harassment  of 
Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition & Redressal) 
Act,  2014,  your  Company  has  a  policy  and  framework 
for  employees  to  report  sexual  harassment  cases  at 
workplace and our process ensures complete anonymity 
and confidentiality of information. Adequate workshops 
and  awareness  programmes  against  sexual  harassment 
are conducted across the organization. 

Compliance Committee

We have a Compliance Committee which considers matters 
relating  to Wipro’s  Code  of  Business  Conduct,  Ombuds 
process, Code for Prevention of Insider Trading and other 
applicable statutory matters. The Compliance Committee 
met three times during the year 2015-16 and submitted its 
report to the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee for its

Standalone Financial Statements under India GAAP

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Members of Wipro Limited 
Report on the Standalone Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements 
of Wipro  Limited  (‘the  Company’),  which  comprise  the  balance 
sheet as at March 31, 2016, the statement of profit and loss and the 
cash flow statement for the year then ended, and a summary of the 
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s  Responsibility  for  the  Standalone  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  and  presentation  of  these  standalone 
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  standalone 
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 
standalone financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence 
about  the  amounts  and  the  disclosures  in  the  standalone 
financial  statements. The  procedures  selected  depend  on  the 
auditors’  judgment,  including  the  assessment  of  the  risks  of 
material  misstatement  of  the  standalone  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  standalone  financial  statements 
that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures 
that are appropriate in the circumstances. 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 standalone 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 
standalone financial statements. 
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the 
explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements 
give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and 

2. 

give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles

ANNEXURE A TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

In  respect  of  the  Annexure  referred  to  in  paragraph  1  of  our 
report to the Members of Wipro Limited (“the Company”) for 
the year ended March 31, 2016, we report that:

(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 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  programme,  certain  fixed 
assets were verified during the year and no material 
discrepancies were noticed on such verification.

(c)  According to the information and explanations given 
to  us  and  on  the  basis  of  our  examination  of  the 
records  of  the  Company,  title  deeds  of  immovable 
properties are held in the name of the Company.

(ii)  The inventory, except goods-in-transit, has been physically 
verified  by  the  management  during  the  year  and  the 
discrepancies  noticed  on  such  verification  between  the 
physical  stock  and  the  book  records  were  not  material. 
In  our  opinion,  the  frequency  of  such  verification  is 
reasonable.

(iii)  During  the  current  year,  the  Company  has  not  granted 
any loans, secured or unsecured to parties covered in the 
register required to be maintained under Section 189 of 
the Act. However, in an earlier year, an interest free loan 
was granted to a party (wholly owned subsidiary) covered 
in the register maintained under Section 189 of the Act.

(a)  The  Company  has  not  granted  any  loans,  secured 
or unsecured to the parties covered in the register 
maintained under Section 189 of the Act during the 
current year. 

(b) 

In the case of a loan granted to the party listed in the 
register maintained under Section 189 of the Act, the 
loan is interest free and the principal is repayable on 

demand and the Company has not sought repayment 
of the loan during the current year. 

(c)  There are no overdue amounts in respect of the loan 
granted to a party listed in the register maintained 
under Section 189 of the Act.

(iv) 

In  our  opinion  and  according  to  the  information  and 
explanations given to us, the Company does not have any 
transactions to which the provisions of Section 185 apply. 
The Company has complied with the provisions of Section 
186  of  the  Act,  with  respect  to  the  loans,  investments, 
guarantees and security.

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

public. 

(vi)  The Central Government has not prescribed the maintenance 
of cost records under Section 148(1) of the Act, for any of the 
products or services rendered by the Company.

(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,  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,  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, 2016 
for a period of more than six months from the date 
they became payable.

(b)  According to the information and explanations given

ANNEXURE - B TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

Standalone Financial Statements under India GAAP

Annexure - B to the Independent Auditors’ Report of even 
date on the Standalone Financial Statements of Wipro Limited
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) 
of Sub-Section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 
(“the Act”)
We  have  audited  the  internal  financial  controls  over  financial 
reporting  of Wipro  Limited  (“the  Company”)  as  of  March  31, 
2016 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial 
statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and 
maintaining  internal  financial  controls  based  on  the  internal 
control  over  financial  reporting  criteria  established  by  the 
Company  considering  the  essential  components  of  internal 
control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial 
Controls  over  Financial  Reporting  issued  by  the  Institute  of 
Chartered  Accountants  of  India  (‘ICAI’). These  responsibilities 
include  the  design,  implementation  and  maintenance  of 
adequate  internal  financial  controls  that  were  operating 
effectively  for  ensuring  the  orderly  and  efficient  conduct  of 
its  business,  including  adherence  to  company’s  policies,  the 
safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds 
and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting 
records,  and  the  timely  preparation  of  reliable  financial 
information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 
internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our 
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance 
Note  on  Audit  of  Internal  Financial  Controls  over  Financial 
Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, 
issued  by  ICAI  and  deemed  to  be  prescribed  under  Section 
143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to 
an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit 
of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute 
of  Chartered  Accountants  of  India. Those  Standards  and  the 
Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements 
and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance 
about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial 
reporting was established and maintained and if such controls 
operated effectively in all material respects.
Our  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit 
evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls 
system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. 
Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting 
included  obtaining  an  understanding  of  internal  financial 
controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material 
weakness  exists,  and  testing  and  evaluating  the  design  and 
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed 
risk. 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.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient 
and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our  audit  opinion  on 

the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial 
reporting.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a 
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the 
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial 
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial 
control  over  financial  reporting  includes  those  policies  and 
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, 
in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions 
and  dispositions  of  the  assets  of  the  company;  (2)  provide 
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary 
to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with 
generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  and  that  receipts 
and  expenditures  of  the  company  are  being  made  only  in 
accordance with authorizations of management and directors 
of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding 
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, 
or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material 
effect on the financial statements.
Inherent  Limitations  of  Internal  Financial  Controls  Over 
Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls 
over  financial  reporting,  including  the  possibility  of  collusion 
or  improper  management  override  of  controls,  material 
misstatements  due  to  error  or  fraud  may  occur  and  not  be 
detected.  Also,  projections  of  any  evaluation  of  the  internal 
financial  controls  over  financial  reporting  to  future  periods 
are  subject  to  the  risk  that  the  internal  financial  control  over 
financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes 
in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies 
or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In  our  opinion,  the  Company  has,  in  all  material  respects,  an 
adequate  internal  financial  controls  system  over  financial 
reporting  and  such  internal  financial  controls  over  financial 
reporting  were  operating  effectively  as  at  March  31,  2016, 
based  on  the  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  criteria 
established  by  the  Company  considering  the  essential 
components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on 
Audit  of  Internal  Financial  Controls  Over  Financial  Reporting 
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)
1.   Company overview

iv. 

Fixed assets

Wipro Limited (Wipro or the Company), is a leading India 
based provider of IT Services, including Business Process 
Services (BPS) services, globally and IT Products. 

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 standalone financial statements

The  standalone  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’)/guidance notes 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.

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.

ii. 

Use of estimates

vi. 

Inventories

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.

iii.  Goodwill

The goodwill arising on acquisition of a group of assets is 
not amortised and is tested for impairment if indicators of 
impairment exist.

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

Standalone Financial Statements under India GAAP

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 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.

‘Unbilled  revenues’  included  in  other  current  asset 
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 ‘Advances 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.

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. 

Revenues are shown net of sales tax, value added tax, 
service tax and applicable discounts and allowances. 
Revenue includes excise duty.

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 
amortised 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 products are recognized when the significant 
risks and rewards of ownership have been 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.

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

a) 

Arrangements where the Company is the lessee 

Leases  of  assets,  where  the  Company  assumes 
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership 
are  classified  as  finance  leases.  Finance  leases  are 

138

Annual Report 2015-16

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
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.

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  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 in the books of account at the exchange rates 
prevailing on the date of 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 

Standalone Financial Statements under India GAAP

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.

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  the  ICAI  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 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.

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

currency  spot  and  forward  rates,  yield  curves,  currency 
volatility etc. 

xii.  Depreciation and amortisation

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

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.

2 – 7 years

xiv.  Employee benefits

Provident fund: 

For the class of assets mentioned above, based on technical 
assessment  the  management  believes  that  the  useful 
lives as given above best represent the period over which 
management expects to use these assets. 

Freehold land is not depreciated.

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

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

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

Class of asset

Technical Know-how, Patents, Trademark and 
others

xiii. 

Impairment of assets

Financial assets:

Estimated 
useful life
3-5 years

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.

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 contributions to the trust managed by the 
Company is accounted for as a defined benefit plan as the 
Company is liable for any shortfall in the fund assets based 
on the government specified minimum rates 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 

140

Annual Report 2015-16

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.

Termination benefits:

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

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.

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 was 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 of the Company.

Standalone Financial Statements under India GAAP

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, 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 
proportionately during 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.

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, 2016, the Company believes that it has met all 
the commitments substantially required under the plan.

Tax Demands: 

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims 
(including tax assessment orders/ penalty notices) which 
have  arisen  in  the  ordinary  course  of  its  business.  Some 
of the claims involve complex issues and it is not possible 
to make a reasonable estimate of the expected financial 
effect,  if  any,  that  will  result  from  ultimate  resolution  of 
such proceedings. However, 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 significant of such matters are discussed 
below.

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, 2011 and 
the aggregate demand is ₹ 47,583 (including interest of ₹ 
13,832). 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 
majority of the issues in favor of the Company up to years 
ended March 31, 2004.

On  similar  issues  for  years  up  to  March  31,  2000,  the 
Hon’ble High Court of 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 years ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, 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, 2012, the Company received the 
draft  assessment  order  in  March  2016  with  a  proposed 
demand of ₹ 4,241 (including interest of ₹ 1,376), arising 
primarily on account of section 10AA issues with respect 
to exclusion from Export Turnover. Company has filed an 
objection before DRP within the prescribed timelines.

Considering the facts and nature of disallowance and the 
order of the appellate authority / Hon’ble High Court of 
Karnataka 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.

34.  Adoption of AS 30

The Company has applied the principles of AS 30, Financial 
Instruments:  Recognition  and  measurement,  as  per 
announcement by the ICAI to the extent such principles of 
AS 30 does not conflict with existing accounting standards 
prescribed  under  Section  133  of  the  Companies  Act,

39.  Employee stock option

i) 

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 vests in tranches over a period of 3 to 5 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 
7 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, 2016, the Company has recorded 
stock compensation expense of `1,601 (2015: ` 1,296). 

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 on 
Consolidated Financial Statements

To the Members of Wipro Limited
Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial 
statements of Wipro Limited (“the Holding  Company”)  and its 
subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “the Group”), comprising 
of  the  consolidated  balance  sheet  as  at  March  31,  2016,  the 
consolidated statement of profit and loss and the consolidated 
cash flow statement for the year then ended, and a summary of the 
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information 
(hereinafter referred to as “the consolidated financial statements”).
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 in 
terms  of  the  requirements  of  the  Companies  Act,  2013  (“the 
Act”) that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial 
position, consolidated financial performance and consolidated 
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 Companies Act, 
2013 (hereinafter referred to as “the Act”) read with Rule 7 of 
the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. The respective Board of  
Directors of the Companies included in the group are responsible 
for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance 
with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of 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 consolidated 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.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 
financial statements based on our audit. 
While  conducting  the  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 consolidated financial statements are free 
from material misstatement.

An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit 
evidence  about  the  amounts  and  the  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 financial 
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.  An  audit  also  includes  evaluating  the 
appropriateness  of  the  accounting  policies  used  and  the 
reasonableness  of  the  accounting  estimates  made  by  the 
Holding Company’s Board of Directors, as well as evaluating the 
overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient 
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the 
consolidated financial statements.
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 the information required by the Act 
in  the  manner  so  required  and  give  a  true  and  fair  view  in 
conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in 
India, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group, as at March 
31, 2016, and their consolidated profit and their consolidated 
cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note 30 to the 
consolidated financial statements which describes the principles of 
Accounting Standard (AS) 30, Financial Instruments: Recognition 
and Measurement, applied by the Group on certain foreign currency 
borrowings designated as a hedging instrument to hedge its net 
investment in 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, 2016 would have been lower by ` 856 million (2015: ` 
390 million).
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
1.   As required by Section 143(3) of the Act, we report, to the 

extent applicable, that:
(a)   We have sought and obtained all the information and 
explanations which to the best of our knowledge and 
belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit of 
the aforesaid consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, proper books of account as required 
by  law  relating  to  preparation  of  the  aforesaid 
consolidated financial statements have been kept so 
far as it appears from our examination of those books.

Annexure - A to the Independent Auditors’ Report of even 
date  on  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  of Wipro 
Limited

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) 
of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 
(“the Act”)

In  conjunc tion  with  our  audit  of  the  consolidated 
financial  statements  of  the  Company  as  of  and  for  the 
year  ended  M arch  31,  2016,  we  have  audited  the 
internal  financial  controls  over  financial  reporting  of  
Wipro  Limited  (“the  Holding  Company”)  and  its  subsidiary 
companies  which  are  companies  incorporated  in  India,  as  of 
that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The respective Board of Directors of the Holding Company and 
its subsidiary companies, which are companies incorporated in 
India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal 
financial controls based on the internal control over financial 
reporting  criteria  established  by  the  Company  considering 
the  essential  components  of  internal  control  stated  in  the 
Guidance  Note  on  Audit  of  Internal  Financial  Controls  over 
Financial  Reporting  issued  by  the  Institute  of  Chartered 
Accountants of India (‘ICAI’). These responsibilities include the 
design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal 
financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring 
the  orderly  and  efficient  conduct  of  its  business,  including 
adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, 
the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy 
and  completeness  of  the  accounting  records,  and  the  timely 
preparation of reliable financial information, as required under 
the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 
internal  financial  controls  over  financial  reporting  based  on 
our  audit. We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  the 
Guidance  Note  on  Audit  of  Internal  Financial  Controls  over 
Financial  Reporting  (the “Guidance  Note”)  issued  by  the  ICAI 
and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to 
be prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, 
to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, 
both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 
Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply 
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal 
financial  controls  over  financial  reporting  was  established 
and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all 
material respects.

Our  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit 
evidence  about  the  adequacy  of  the  internal  financial 
controls system over financial reporting and their operating 
effectiveness.  Our  audit  of  internal  financial  controls  over 

172

Annual Report 2015-16

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
financial  reporting  included  obtaining  an  understanding  of 
internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the 
risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating 
the  design  and  operating  effectiveness  of  internal  control 
based on the assessed risk. 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.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient 
and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our  audit  opinion  on 
the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial 
reporting.

Meaning  of  Internal  Financial  Controls  over  Financial 
Reporting

A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a 
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the 
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial 
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial 
control  over  financial  reporting  includes  those  policies  and 
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, 
in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions 
and  dispositions  of  the  assets  of  the  company;  (2)  provide 
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary 
to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with 
generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  and  that  receipts 
and  expenditures  of  the  company  are  being  made  only  in 
accordance with authorisations of management and directors 
of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding 
prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, 
or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material 
effect on the financial statements.

Inherent  Limitations  of  Internal  Financial  Controls  Over 
Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls 
over  financial  reporting,  including  the  possibility  of  collusion 
or  improper  management  override  of  controls,  material 
misstatements  due  to  error  or  fraud  may  occur  and  not  be 
detected.  Also,  projections  of  any  evaluation  of  the  internal 
financial  controls  over  financial  reporting  to  future  periods 
are  subject  to  the  risk  that  the  internal  financial  control  over 
financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes 
in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies 
or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In  our  opinion,  the  Holding  Company  and  its  subsidiary 
companies,  which  are  companies  incorporated  in  India,  have, 
in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls 
system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls 
over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 
31, 2016, based on the internal control over financial reporting 
criteria established by the Company considering  the essential 
components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on 
Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued 
by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

2. 

Significant accounting policies

i. 

Basis  of  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial 
statements

The consolidated 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’)/
guidance notes issued by the Institute of Chartered 
Accountants  of  India  (ICAI)  and  other  generally 
accepted accounting principles in India.

All  amounts  included  in  the  consolidated  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 which are drawn up to 
the same reporting date 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)   the  amount  of  equity  attributable  to  the 
minorities  at the dates on which investment 
in a subsidiary is made; and

b)   the  minorities  share  of  movements  in 
equity since the date, the 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 assets

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

Consolidated Financial Statements under India GAAP

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  amortisation  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 the 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 the 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.

a)  

Services

The  Company  recognizes  revenue  when  the 
significant  terms  of  the  arrangement  are 
enforceable, services have been delivered and 
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 output. 
Any residual service unutilized by the customer is 
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.

 Revenues are shown net of sales tax, value 
added  tax,  service  tax  and  applicable 
discounts and allowances. Revenue includes 
excise duty.

 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.

b)   Products:

Revenue  from  products  are  recognized  when  the 
significant risks and rewards of ownership have been 
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.

c)  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.

Consolidated Financial Statements under India GAAP

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

ix. 

Leases

a) 

Arrangements where the Company is the lessee

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.

b)   Arrangements where the Company is the lessor

In  cer tain  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

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. 
On the disposal of a non-integral foreign operation, 
the cumulative FCTR which relates to that operation 
is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

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.

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  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 
the  ICAI  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  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.

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.

xii.  Depreciation and amortisation

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:

xiii. 

Financial assets:

Estimated  
Useful Life

3-10 years

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.

Other than financial assets:

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 

Consolidated Financial Statements under India GAAP

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  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 
contributions to the trust managed by the Company 
is  accounted  for  as  a  defined  benefit  plan  as  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  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.

Gratuity:

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 

Wipro Limited

Consolidated Financial Statements under India GAAP

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.

Termination benefits:

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

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 obligation to pay 
this amount as a result of past service provided by the 
employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

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  was  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  proportionate  during  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.

30.  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 as 
prescribed under Sec 133 of the act read with Rule 7 of the 
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014.

As permitted by AS 30, the Company has designated a USD-
denominated foreign currency borrowing amounting to 
USD 150 million and a Euro-denominated foreign currency 
borrowing  amounting  to  EUR  77  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  interest  rate  swap  which  are  determined  to  be 
effective hedge of net investment in non-integral operation 
and  cash  flow  hedge  of  foreign  currency  borrowings 
aggregating to ` (901) for the year ended March 31, 2016 
[2015:  `  (524)]  was  recognized  in  translation  reserve/ 
hedging  reserve  in  shareholders’  funds. The  amount  of 
gain/ (loss) of ` (856) for the year ended March 31, 2016 
[2015: ` (390)] recognized 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  `  (45)  for  year  ended  March  31,  2016 
[2015: ` (134)] recognized in the hedging reserve would 
be transferred to the statement of profit and loss on the 
occurrence of the hedged transaction.

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 million and 
EUR  77  million  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  `  856  for  the  year  ended  March  31, 
2016 (2015: lower by ` 390).

31.  Derivatives

As of March 31, 2016, the Company has recognised gains 
of ` 2,367 [2015: ` 4,268] 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 30, 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  ` 40 for the year ended March 31, 2016 
(2015:  gain  of  `  780)  relating  to  the  derivative  financial 

instruments  in  translation  reserve  in  the  reserves  and 
surplus.

principal amounts of the Company’s derivative contracts 
outstanding as at:

32.  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 
the 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.

33.  Finance lease receivables

The  Company  provides  lease  financing  for  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

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.

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.

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 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  was  calculating  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 `1,490 (2015: ` 1,844) is included under ‘Long term loans 
and advances’ in the balance sheet as of March 31, 2016.

i) 

Tax expenses are net of reversal of provisions recorded 
in  earlier  periods,  which  are  no  longer  required, 
amounting to ` 1,337 for the year ended March 31, 
2016 (2015: ` 891) and MAT credit of ` NIL for the year 
ended March 31, 2016 (2015: ` 2).”

The components of the deferred tax assets (net) are

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, 2016, the Company believes that it has met all 
the commitments substantially required under the plan

Tax Demands:

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims 
(including tax assessment orders/ penalty notices) which 
have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. Some 

204

Annual Report 2015-16

 
 
 
 
of the claims involve complex issues and it is not possible 
to make a reasonable estimate of the expected financial 
effect,  if  any,  that  will  result  from  ultimate  resolution  of 
such proceedings. However, 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  significant  of  such  matters  are 
discussed below.

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, 2011 and 
the aggregate demand is ₹ 47,583 (including interest of ₹ 
13,832). 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 
majority of the issues in favor of the Company up to years 
ended March 31, 2004.

On  similar  issues  for  years  up  to  March  31,  2000,  the 
Hon’ble High Court of 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 years ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, 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, 2012, the Company received the 
draft  assessment  order  in  March  2016  with  a  proposed 
demand of ₹ 4,241 (including interest of ₹ 1,376), arising 
primarily on account of section 10AA issues with respect 
to exclusion from Export Turnover. Company has filed an 
objection before DRP within the prescribed timelines.

Considering the facts and nature of disallowance and the 
order  of  the  appellate  authority/Hon’ble  High  Court  of 
Karnataka 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.

45.  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  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 (MFG), 
Global Media and Telecom (GMT). 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, 
digital, consulting, infrastructure outsourcing services and 
business process services.

IT  Products: The  Company  is  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 Financial Statements Under IFRS

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  its  subsidiaries  (“the 
Company”) as of March 31, 2016 and 2015, 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, 2016. 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, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the 
three-year period ended March 31, 2016, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by International 
Accounting Standards 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, 2016, 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 26, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

dollars at such a rate or any other rate. Due to rounding off, the 
translated numbers presented throughout the document may

2.   Basis  of  preparation  of  consolidated  financial 

(iv)   Use of estimates and judgment 

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 
consolidated 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 ( ` 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:- 

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, 

224

Annual Report 2015-16

recognized  revenue  and  profit  are  subject  to  revisions  as  the 
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. Volume discounts 
are recorded as a reduction of revenue. When the amount of 
discount varies with the levels of revenue, volume discount is 
recorded based on estimate of future revenue from the customer. 

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. 

Income taxes: The major tax jurisdictions for the Company 
c) 
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 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. 

e) 
Business  combination:  In  accounting  for  business 
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  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. 

Defined benefit plans: The cost of the defined benefit plans 
f ) 
and the present value of the defined benefit obligation are based 
on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. 
An  actuarial  valuation  involves  making  various  assumptions 
that may differ from actual developments in the future. These 
include  the  determination  of  the  discount  rate,  future  salary 

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved 
in  the  valuation  and  its  long-term  nature,  a  defined  benefit 
obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. 
All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. 

g)  Other estimates: 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. 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. 

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 interests at initial recognition plus the 
non-controlling interest’s share of subsequent changes in equity. 

Wipro Limited

225

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

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  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  hedges  and 
qualifying  net  investment  hedges.  Gains/(losses)  relating  to 
translation or settlement of borrowings denominated in foreign 
currency are reported within finance expense. 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  at  the 
reporting date, 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 
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, except to the extent that the translation 
difference is allocated to non-controlling interest. 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  of, 
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. 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 
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 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 

226

Annual Report 2015-16

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  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. 

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

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,  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. 

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

(v)   Equity and share capital 

a)  

Share capital and share premium 

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 

The authorized share capital of the Company as of March 31, 2015 
and 2016 is ` 6,100 million 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. 

b)  

Shares held by controlled trust (Treasury shares) 

The Company’s equity shares held by the controlled trust, which 
is consolidated as a part of the Group are classified as Treasury 

Wipro Limited

227

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

shares. The Company has 16,640,212, 14,829,824 and 14,829,824 
treasury shares as of March 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, 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 and restricted stock unit 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 as 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 inter-company 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,  other  than  impairment  loss,  is  recognized  in  other 
comprehensive  income  (net  of  taxes),  and  presented  within 
equity in other reserves. 

h)   Dividend 

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.  General  and  specific  borrowing  costs  directly 
attributable  to  the  construction  of  a  qualifying  asset  are 
capitalized as part of the cost. 

b)   Depreciation 

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. Term licenses are amortized over their respective contract 
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. 

(vii)   Business combination, Goodwill and Intangible assets 

a)   Business combination 

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. 

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. 

228

Annual Report 2015-16

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

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 amortisation and impairment losses, if any. 

The amortisation of an intangible asset with a finite useful life 
reflects the manner in which the economic benefit is expected to 
be generated and is included in selling and marketing expenses 
in the consolidated statements of income. 

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
3 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 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 
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 finance income over 
the lease term using the effective interest method. 

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)  (g)  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 
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. 

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 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 contributions 
to  the  trust  managed  by  the  Company  is  accounted  for  as  a 
defined benefit plan as the Company is 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 
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. 

(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 

230

Annual Report 2015-16

expensed over the vesting period of the respective tranches of 
such grants (accelerated amortisation). The stock compensation 
expense  is  determined  based  on  the  Company’s  estimate  of 
equity instruments that will eventually vest. 

(xiii)  Provisions 

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. 

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 
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 

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

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. 

‘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. 

b)  

Products 

Revenue from products are recognized when the significant risks 
and rewards of ownership have been 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. 

c)   Multiple element arrangements 

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. 

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. 

Revenues  are  shown  net  of  sales  tax,  value  added  tax, 
service  tax  and  applicable  discounts  and  allowances. 
Revenue includes excise duty. 

Wipro Limited

231

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

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. 

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. 

• 

• 

• 

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. 

(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.  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. 

a)   Current income tax 

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 as at 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  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 
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. 

New Accounting standards adopted by the Company: 

The Company has, with effect from April 1, 2015, adopted the 
Amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits – clarifications on 
assessment of existence of deep market based on currency instead 
of geography. The  adoption  of  this  amendment  did  not  have 
any material impact on the consolidated financial statements 
of the Company. 

232

Annual Report 2015-16

New accounting standards not yet adopted: 

IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. 

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

A  number  of  new  standards,  amendments  to  standards  and 
interpretations are not yet effective for annual periods beginning 
after  1  April  2015,  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  Company 
has elected to early adopt IFRS 9 effective April 1, 2016. The 
Company does not expect a significant impact on its balance 
sheet or equity on applying the classification, measurement 
and  presentation  requirements  of  IFRS  9.  It  expects  to 
continue measuring at fair value all financial assets currently 
held at fair value. The Company believes that all existing hedge 
relationships that are currently designated as effective hedging 
relationships will still qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9. 
As IFRS 9 does not change the general principles of how an entity 
accounts for effective hedges, the Company does not expect a 
significant impact as a result of applying IFRS 9. 

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.  In  September  2015,  the 
IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 15, deferring the adoption 
of the standard to periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. 
The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 
15 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

IFRS 16 – Leases 

On January 13, 2016, the International Accounting Standards 
Board  issued  the  final  version  of  IFRS  16,  Leases.  IFRS  16  will 
replace the existing leases Standard, IAS 17 Leases, and related 
interpretations. The  standard  sets  out  the  principles  for  the 
recognition,  measurement,  presentation  and  disclosure  of 
leases. IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and 
requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases 
with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset 
is of low value. The Standard also contains enhanced disclosure 
requirements  for  lessees. The  effective  date  for  adoption  of 
IFRS 16 is annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, 
though  early  adoption  is  permitted  for  companies  applying 
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company 
is  currently  assessing  the  impact  of  adopting  IFRS  16  on  the 
Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least 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. 

For  the  year  ended  March  31,  2015,  the  carrying  value  of 
goodwill allocated to the CGU within IT Products segment is not 
significant. The recoverable value of this CGU was determined 
using value-in-use. The VIU is determined based on discounted 
cash flow projections. Key assumptions on which the Company 
had 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. 

Assumptions

Terminal value long-term growth rate
After tax discount rate
Before tax discount rate

Year ended  
March 31,

Based  on  the  above,  no  impairment  was  identified  as  of 
March 31, 2015 and 2016 as the recoverable value of the CGUs 
exceeded the carrying value. Further, none of the CGU’s tested 
for  impairment  as  of  March  31,  2015  and  2016  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 acquisition during the year ended March 31, 
2014 is given below: 

Opus Capital Markets Consultants LLC 

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 year ended March 31, 2015, 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.

Total
Goodwill
Total purchase price

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 year ended March 31, 2015, 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. 

If the acquisition had occurred on April 1, 2013, management 
estimates that consolidated revenue and profit after taxes for 
the  year  ended  March  31,  2014  would  have  been  `  436,563

If the acquisition had occurred on April 1, 2014, management 
estimates that consolidated revenue and profit after taxes for 
the  year  ended  March  31,  2015  would  have  been  `  472,142 
and  `  87,503  respectively. The  pro-forma  amounts  are  not

12.   Loans and borrowings 

Short-term loans and borrowings 

The  Company  had  short-term  borrowings  including  bank 
overdrafts amounting to ` 64,443 and ` 102,667 as at March 31, 
2015 and 2016, respectively. The principal source of Short-term 
borrowings from banks as of March 31, 2016 primarily consists 
of lines of credit of approximately ` 10,399, U.S. Dollar (U.S.$) 
1,698 million, Canadian Dollar (CAD) 150 million, EURO 81 million 
and  United  Kingdom  Pound  sterling  (GBP)  20  million  from 
bankers for working capital requirements and other short term 
needs. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has unutilized lines 
of credit aggregating ` 9,930, U.S.$ 359 million, GBP 20 million 
and CAD 5 million. To utilize these unused lines of credit, the 

Company requires consent of the lender and compliance with 
certain  financial  covenants.  Significant  portion  of  these  lines 
of credit are revolving credit facilities and floating rate foreign 
currency loans, renewable on a periodic basis. Significant portion 
of these facilities bear floating rates of interest, referenced to 
LIBOR and a spread, determined based on market conditions. 

The  Company  has  non-fund  based  revolving  credit  facilities 
in  various  currencies  equivalent  to  `  39,511  and  `  41,740,  as 
of March 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively, towards operational 
requirements that can be used for the issuance of letters of credit 
and bank guarantees. As of March 31, 2015 and 2016, an amount 
of  `  18,277  and  `  15,519  respectively,  was  unutilized  out  of  
these non-fund based facilities.

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

The  Company  has  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,  2016,  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 ` 8,694 and ` 8,963 as at March 31, 2015 and 2016, 
respectively,  are  secured  by  inventories,  accounts  receivable, 
certain property, plant and equipment and underlying assets. 

Interest  expense  was  `  768  and  `  1,410  for  the  year  ended 
March 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. 

The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments 
under  finance  leases,  together  with  the  present  value  of

Provision for warranty represents cost associated with providing 
sales  support  services  which  are  accrued  at  the  time  of 
recognition  of  revenues  and  are  expected  to  be  utilized  over 
a  period  of  1  to  2  years.  Other  provisions  primarily  include 
provisions for indirect tax related contingencies and litigations. 
The timing of cash outflows in respect of such provision cannot 
be reasonably determined.

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

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

allowance  for  estimated  losses  on  these  receivables.  As  of 
March 31, 2015 and 2016, 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:

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 
counter-parties, primarily banks 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. The 
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, 2016, 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 
deposits and commercial papers): Fair value of available-for-sale 
financial assets is derived based on the indicative quotes of price 
and yields prevailing in the market as on March 31, 2016. 

Available for sale investments (Investment in liquid and short-
term mutual funds): Fair valuation is derived based on Net Asset 
value published by the respective mutual fund houses.

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 not material.

The related hedge transactions for balance in cash flow hedging 
reserve  as  of  March  31,  2016  are  expected  to  occur  and  be 
reclassified to the statement of income over a period of 4 years. 

As at March 31, 2015 and 2016, 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. The  incremental  impact  of  such  transaction  on  our 
cash flow and liquidity for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 
2016 is not material. 

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 

246

Annual Report 2015-16

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

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,  2015  and  2016  respectively,  a  `  1  increase/
decrease in the spot exchange rate of the Indian rupee with the 
U.S. dollar would result in approximately ` 1,495 and ` 1,398 
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, 2016, 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, 2016, additional net annual interest expense on 
floating rate borrowing would amount to approximately ` 1,102. 

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,  2015  and  2016,  respectively  and 
revenues for the year ended March 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, 
respectively. There is no significant concentration of credit risk.

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 ` 5,510 and ` 7,305 as of 
March 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. Of the total receivables,  
` 67,997 and ` 74,200 as of March 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively, 
were neither past due nor impaired. The Company’s credit period 
generally ranges from 45-60 days from invoicing date. The aging

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, 
2016, cash and cash equivalents are held with major banks and 
financial institutions. 

The  table  below  provides  details  regarding  the  remaining

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

Deferred  taxes  on  unrealized  foreign  exchange  gain  /  loss 
relating to cash flow hedges, fair value movements in available 
for  sale  of  investments  and  actuarial  gains/losses  on  defined 
benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income 
and presented within equity in the cash flow hedging reserve. 
Deferred tax liability on the intangible assets identified and carry 
forward losses on acquisitions 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  `  1,858  and  `  1,782  as  at 
March  31,  2015  and  2016,  respectively  in  respect  of  unused 
tax losses have not been recognized by the Company. The tax 
loss carry-forwards of ` 6,509 and ` 6,679 as at March 31, 2015 
and March 31, 2016, 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, ` 4,971 and ` 6,117 as at March 31, 2015 and 
March 31, 2016, respectively, of these tax loss carry-forwards is 
not currently subject to expiration dates. The remaining tax loss 
carry-forwards of approximately ` 1,538 and ` 562 as at March 31, 
2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively, expires in various years 
through fiscal 2036. 

The Company has recognized deferred tax assets of ` 3,589 and  
` 5,976 in respect of carry forward losses of its various subsidiaries 
as at March 31, 2015 and 2016. 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 and ` 1,457 has been 

recognized in the statement of financial position as of March 31, 
2015 and 2016 respectively, 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  2029. 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 
of ` 11,043, ` 11,412 and ` 10,212 for the years ended March 31, 
2014, 2015 and 2016 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, 2014, 2015 
and 2016 was ` 4.50, ` 4.65 and ` 4.16 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 ` 26,313 and ` 33,920 as of March 31, 2015 and 
2016,  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, 
2016. 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 

250

Annual Report 2015-16

profits. Accordingly, the Company did not record current and 
deferred tax provision for branch profit tax. 

The  capital  structure  as  of  March  31,  2015  and  2016  was  as 
follows: 

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

18.   Dividends and Buy Back of equity shares 

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  `  8,  `  10  and 
` 12 during the years ended March 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, 
respectively, including an interim dividend of ` 3, ` 5 and ` 5 
for the years ended March 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016. 

The  Board  of  Directors  in  their  meeting  on  April  20,  2016 
proposed a final dividend of ` 1 (U.S.$ 0.02) 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 
`  2,974,  including  corporate  dividend  tax  thereon.  The 
proposed dividend has not been included as a liability in these 
consolidated financial statements. 

On April 20, 2016, the Board of Directors approved a buyback 
proposal for purchase by the Company of up to 40 million shares 
of ` 2 each (representing 1.62% of total equity capital) from the 
shareholders of the Company on a proportionate basis by way of 
a tender offer at a price of ` 625 per equity share for an aggregate 
amount not exceeding ` 25,000 million in accordance with the 
provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the SEBI (Buy Back 
of Securities) Regulations, 1998. 

19.   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 
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,  2016. The  Board  of  Directors  in  their  meeting  on 
April 20, 2016 proposed a final dividend of ` 1 (U.S. $ 0.02) per 
equity share and ADS. The proposal is subject to the approval of 
shareholders. Further, the board of directors has approved a buy 
back proposal for purchase of 40 million equity shares through 
a tender offer at a price of ` 625 per equity share. The amount 
of future dividends will be balanced with efforts to continue to 
maintain an adequate liquidity status.

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.

`          35.25

`            36.20

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.

and 2016 were `  513, `  1,138 and ` 1,534 respectively. 

Wipro Equity Reward Trust (“WERT”) 

In 1984, the Company established a controlled trust called the 
Wipro Equity Reward Trust (“WERT”). In the earlier years, WERT 
purchased shares of the Company out of funds borrowed from 
the Company. The Company’s Board Governance, Nomination 

and  Compensation  Committee  recommends  to WERT  certain 
officers and key employees, to whom 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 
WERT are reported as a reduction in stockholders’ equity. WERT 
held 14,829,824 shares as at March 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016.

an option to purchase shares of the Company at the respective exercise prices, subject to requirement of vesting conditions (generally 
service conditions). These options generally vests in tranches over a period of 3 to 5 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 ten years.

Indian  government  securities  for  the  estimated  term  of  the 
obligations. The estimates of future salary increases considered 
takes into account the inflation, seniority, promotion and other 
relevant factors. Attrition rate considered is the management’s 
estimate,  based  on  previous  years’  employee  turnover  of  the 
Company.

28.   Commitments and contingencies 

Operating leases: The Company has taken office, vehicles 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 ` 4,583, ` 4,727 and ` 5,184 for the year ended 
March 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. 

Details  of  contractual  payments  under  non-cancelable  leases 
are given below: 

Not later than one year

Capital  commitments:  As  at  March  31,  2015  and  2016,  the 
Company had committed to spend approximately ` 1,262 and 
` 10,734 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,  2015  and  2016,  performance 
and  financial  guarantees  provided  by  banks  on  behalf  of  the 
Company  to  the  Indian  Government,  customers  and  certain 
other agencies amount to approximately ` 21,234 and ` 25,218 
respectively, as part of the bank line of credit. 

Contingencies  and  lawsuits: The  Company  is  subject  to  legal 
proceedings  and  claims  (including  tax  assessment  orders/ 
penalty notices) which have arisen in the ordinary course of its 
business. Some of the claims involve complex issues and it is not 
possible to make a reasonable estimate of the expected financial 
effect,  if  any,  that  will  result  from  ultimate  resolution  of  such 
proceedings. However, 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 
significant of such matters are discussed below. 

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, 2011 and the aggregate demand 
is  `  47,583  (including  interest  of  `  13,832). 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

Consolidated Financial Statements Under IFRS

have been filed by the Income tax authorities before the Hon’ble 
High Court. The Hon’ble High Court has heard and disposed-off 
majority of the issues in favor of the Company up to years ended 
March 31, 2004. 

On similar issues for years up to March 31, 2000, the Hon’ble 
High Court of 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 years ended March 31, 2010 
and March 31, 2011, 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,  2012,  the  Company  received  the 
draft assessment order in March 2016 with a proposed demand 
of  `  4,241  (including  interest  of  `  1,376),  arising  primarily  on 
account of section 10AA issues with respect to exclusion from 
Export Turnover.  Company  has  filed  an  objection  before  DRP 
within the prescribed timelines. 

Considering the facts and nature of disallowance and the order 
of  the  appellate  authority  /  Hon’ble  High  Court  of  Karnataka 
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  Contingent  liability  in  respect  of  disputed  demands  for 
excise duty, custom duty, sales tax and other matters amounts to 
` 2,560 and ` 2,654 as of March 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. 

29.   Segment Information 

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 (MFG), Global Media and Telecom (GMT). 
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,  digital,  consulting, 
infrastructure  outsourcing  services  and  business  process 
services. 

IT Products: The Company is 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 & Managing Director 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.
