Thierry Delaporte

Thank you for taking the time to read ourAnnual I&D Report. For me personally, it
provides a valuable opportunity for
introspection; a chance to evaluate what wehave accomplished in the last twelve
months, and to set goals for the coming year.
In 2022-23, we have achieved some
important milestones around inclusion,
equity, and diversity. Wipro today has
improved representation across gender,
ethnicity, sexual orientation, identity, andability. We have created resources to help
sensitize and empower employees; and wehave been recognized in the international
arena for our efforts.

women at senior leadership levels to 20%,

disability aids, and we have enabled
professional tax exemptions for eligible
India-based employees with disabilities.

LGBTQ+ Inclusion
We are committed to nurturing an equitable
and inclusive world for our LGBTQ+
colleagues, clients, and business partners.
This means creating an environment where
LGBTQ+ colleagues feel safe, respected, andaccepted.
We recognize the importance of a supportive
workplace for all employees, irrespective of
their gender identity and sexual orientation.
As such, we have expanded visibility andawareness by organizing community events
beyond Pride Month, events like International
Pronouns Day, Coming Out Day, Transgender
Awareness Week, and LGBTQ+ History
Month.
Our Wipro Pride employee resource grouphas been growing and bringing LGBTQ+
colleagues and allies together to increase
engagement and visibility across community
initiatives. It’s been heartwarming to see

more and more Wiproites sharing information
about best practices and engaging inconversations.
Wiproites can voluntarily declare theirgender, sexual orientation, and pronouns
through a confidential form.
Self-declarations have increased by 50
percent over last year, reflecting our successin creating safer spaces for employees.
We strive to break stereotypes and spreadawareness about inclusive language,
pronouns, and terminologies throughsessions that enable Wiproites to become
active allies for the LGBTQ+ community. Our
employees are encouraged to learn more
about the community using our internal
resources, such as an exclusive LGBTQ+
inclusion handbook as well as throughconversations on our internal social media
platform.

The Black Alliance employee resource group
works to advance a diverse and inclusive
work environment focused on Black andAfrican-American employees. The Alliancesupports a dedicated group of employees
across Wipro, undertaking various internaland external activities including sessions to
spread awareness.
We observe an additional holiday in the
United States on Martin Luther King (MLK)
Day and have also started efforts tostrategically recruit from Historically Black
Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) bypartnering with local fraternities. Last year
Wipro’s first Juneteenth event was held,
focusing on increasing knowledge about
Juneteenth and all that it represents.
Fireside chats and other events were held
throughout February to commemorate Black
History Month.

Supplier Diversity
We are committed to developing an inclusive
supply chain that mirrors our communities,
employees, and clients. Through our supplier
diversity program, we aim to create equal
opportunity for diverse businesses and equipthem with tools and knowledge that enable
their success.

“Wipro Inclusion & Diversity Opportunity for
Vendors (WINDOV)” is a series of virtual
conclaves that enable direct access for small
suppliers to present their capabilities to theglobal procurement team.
“Wipro Inclusive Supplier Development and
Mentorship (WISDOM”’ is a program thatstrengthens these businesses by providing
managerial and technical support toparticipating diverse suppliers.
For instance, WINDOV Conclaves helped us
source goods from remotely located Indian
tribal women and American businesses
located in zones for Historically Underutilized
Businesses (HUB). WISDOM interactions
helped us identify addressable barriers sothat we may increase our spend with existing
diverse suppliers at Wipro.
On account of our supplier diversity
initiatives, we were able to register 13.6% of
our global spend with certified diverse
suppliers and 3.8% of our global spend withMSME suppliers during FY23.

Wipro has a robust global supplier diversity
program to promote equal entrepreneurial
opportunities for historically disadvantaged
small local businesses, includes those owned
by women, members of the LGBTQ+
community, persons with disability, and other
underrepresented groups.
Wipro has instituted two flagship programsfor new as well as existing suppliers to help
us formalize diversity-certified norms:

Begin Again Joiner

Earlier, I was unable to complete mytime sheet as the app was notaccessible. It was troublesome torequire assistance on this frequently
to get this task done. But now, with the
new My Time app, this problem isresolved as I can fill the timesheet
using a screen reader and keyboard
given my vision. Wipro is open to
accepting challenges faced by its
employees with disabiities and isalways ready to provide an accessible
experience to all its users.

After I returned from maternity leave,
the organization really helped metransition smoothly from being a newmother to a full-time working mother. I
will always be thankful to Wipro andmy managers who guided me toovercome the challenges I faced along
this journey.

The Black Alliance employee resourcegroup provides a forum for Wipro's
Black employees to foster inclusion
and respect by learning from all
diverse perspectives, experiences, andeducation.

Since joining Wipro, I’ve been thrilled
to discover the genuine focus on
creating a diverse team that spans
geographies, cultures, and beliefs. We
recognize that our strength lies within
our diversity, and it is throughinclusivity that we unlock the fullpotential of that strength. Throughout
my tenure I’ve seen a company taking
actions on diversity across all its
dimensions, not just talking about it.
Wipro encourages and embraces ourteam regardless of gender, age,
ethnicity, or orientation. I am superproud to play my part as an LBGTQ+
ally as well as supporting all ouramazing Wiproites here in our region.
