In today's dynamic and challenging business environment, Wipro aims to compete by developing a leadership pipeline of diverse and globally minded individuals.

Launched in 2015, our Global 100 Leadership Development Program enables recent MBA graduates to evolve into the next generation of leaders at Wipro. Over a duration of 15 months, the program offers multi-industry, multi-sector perspectives and hands-on immersive experiences through strategic exposure across our key business units. Program participants are hired as Global Business Managers.

We stand at the cusp of a bold new future - one that holds the promise of infinite opportunities and is defined by new global paradigms, disruptive technologies and unconventional business models.

Organizations of the future will demand a new breed of dynamic and enterprising leaders who will radically reshape our notion of 'change'.

We are on a quest to identify the next generation of leaders and are looking for people who demonstrate agility, innovative outlook and collaborative work ethics.

We have gone across the globe to look for those of you who have the potential to lead. This 15-month program will not only challenge you, it will also accelerate your learning.

Come and be a part of this journey!

What we're looking for

We are seeking diverse candidates with leadership skills and an open mind to new challenges. We value the ability to navigate ambiguity and to influence decisions. Engaging communication skills, curiosity, and high levels of resilience are considered an asset.

The three competencies we probably value the most are:

Agility & Adaptability

We live in times where new technologies are evolving in the blink of an eye. Transformation and complexity are the order of the day. We need leaders with vision and the ability to accomplish goals at a rapid pace, who look upon challenges as opportunities, are comfortable with change and ambiguity and can adapt to varied roles as we scale.

Innovation

We are accustomed to dealing with emerging trends and disruptive technologies across the enterprise stack in our existing lines of business. We need innovative minds who have the courage to venture out of their comfort zones and disrupt established patterns.

Collaboration

Does the idea of collaborating with over 250,000 people across geographies, cultures, nationalities, and ethnicities excite and inspire you? We believe that a culture that encourages plurality of thought and embraces a diversity of opinions will ultimately lead to new ideas and innovation.

The G100 Program allowed me to not only thrive outside my comfort zone but also reinvent myself frequently. Thanks to a collaborative G100 community and easy access to leadership, in my role as a SMU Sales Hunter, I have been able to open and contribute to some of the most iconic brands in Media and Entertainment.
