Wipro Ltd has kicked off the new financial year with a strong push into artificial intelligence. The company has introduced a dedicated AI-focused unit while also making leadership changes and simplifying parts of its corporate structure.

The move signals a clear shift in strategy, as Wipro looks to position itself more firmly in the fast-evolving AI-led services landscape.

At the centre of this shift is the launch of an AI-Native Business & Platforms Unit, which will work alongside the company’s core services business. The idea is to move closer to a “services as software” model, where AI plays a central role in delivering consulting-led solutions for clients.

Chief Executive Officer Srini Pallia said the change is aimed at improving how the company delivers real business outcomes. He noted that the new unit would help Wipro build and scale AI-driven platforms faster, while opening up new growth avenues. Strengthening capabilities across data, workflows, decision systems, and infrastructure is expected to play a key role in this transformation.

The new division will focus on developing enterprise-level AI solutions and expanding platform-based offerings. It will also bring together several of Wipro’s existing assets, including NetOxygen, CROAMIS, and platforms used in healthcare and telecom, under one structure to improve efficiency and scale.

Alongside this, the company has reshuffled its senior leadership. Nagendra Bandaru will take over as CEO of the AI unit from April 1, 2026. Kanwar Singh will step into Bandaru’s current role leading Technology Services Global Business Lines.

In another development, Suzanne Dann will leave the company on May 3, 2026, as she plans to explore opportunities outside Wipro.

Separately, the company has also completed internal restructuring across some of its subsidiaries. Capco RISC Consulting LLC has been merged with The Capital Markets Company, LLC, while Cardinal US Holdings, Inc. has been integrated with Wipro IT Services, LLC. In addition, Cardinal US Holdings has transferred its full stake in Capco Consulting Services LLC to The Capital Markets Company.

Wipro said these steps are part of an effort to simplify its group structure and make operations more streamlined as it prepares for the next phase of growth.
