Wipro Limited, one of India’s largest technology and consulting firms, rang The Closing Bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Oct. 31 to mark 25 years of its listing on Wall Street.
The event also coincided with the launch of Wipro Intelligence, the company’s new suite of AI-powered platforms and solutions, underscoring its shift toward a consulting-led and artificial intelligence-driven business model.

Executive chairman Rishad Premji and CEO and managing director Srini Pallia joined members of Wipro’s global leadership team on the NYSE podium for the ceremony, which was livestreamed on NYSE.com and YouTube.
“This year holds special significance for Wipro as we celebrate 25 years of being listed on the New York Stock Exchange and 80 years since our founding,” said Premji.
“What began in 1945 as a small vegetable oil company in rural Maharashtra has evolved into a global technology consulting and services company with a presence in over 60 countries. Our journey has been one of resilience and reinvention: overcoming challenges, adapting to change, and staying true to our purpose at every step,” he added.
He described the milestone as a tribute to “the countless individuals whose passion and commitment have shaped Wipro over the decades.”
Srini Pallia said the bell-ringing represented both celebration and reflection. “Celebrating 25 years on the New York Stock Exchange marks more than a milestone for Wipro—it’s a moment to reflect on our journey of purpose-driven growth and innovation,” he said.
“Over this period, Wipro has helped global enterprises navigate disruption and embrace new technologies, from the personal computing revolution to the AI era. As we enter a new chapter with Wipro Intelligence, we remain committed to co-innovating with our clients and empowering them to reimagine their businesses and lead confidently in a world shaped by intelligent technologies,” he added.
The ceremony came at a pivotal time for the Bengaluru-headquartered company, which is restructuring its global operations to align with the accelerating adoption of artificial intelligence and automation across industries.
Over the past year, Wipro has consolidated its business lines around AI, cloud computing, and analytics. Earlier this year, it acquired Harman’s Digital Transformation Solutions unit from Samsung for $375 million to expand its digital engineering and product design capabilities.
Wipro’s AI transition comes amid heightened competition in India’s $250 billion IT services industry, where peers such as Infosys, TCS, and Tech Mahindra are also repositioning themselves as transformation and consulting partners.
Founded in 1945 by M.H. Hasham Premji, Wipro entered the technology business in the late 1970s and expanded into global IT services in the 1990s. It became one of the first Indian technology firms to list on the NYSE in 2000. Today, the company employs more than 230,000 people across 65 countries, serving clients in financial services, healthcare, energy, retail, and manufacturing.
