BENGALURU, Apr 07 (Reuters): Wipro Chief Executive Officer Thierry Delaporte resigned on Saturday following a fraught few years for India's No. 4 IT services company, to be succeeded by the head of its biggest market.
Srinivas Pallia, a veteran of the company, will take over as CEO and managing director from April 7, Wipro said in a statement, adding Delaporte was leaving to "pursue passions outside the workplace".
The Bengaluru-based software services exporter has had a turbulent few years, with its operating model changing twice in three years, several top-level departures, and some expensive acquisitions that did not translate to growth.
Delaporte, whose five-year term was originally set to end in July 2025, said that he was "proud of the solid foundation" he had helped to lay for Wipro.
Some industry watchers did not share his assessment of his time at the helm.
