Delaporte's Wipro Tenure
Delaporte took the helm of the Bengaluru-based IT services firm in July 2020, when a raging pandemic stalled all but essential activity in one of the world’s strictest covid lockdowns. Globally, companies scurried to move operations to the cloud to enable remote work for employees. Business, naturally, boomed for India’s IT services firms, as they drove digital transformation at scale for clients big and small.
