Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT, BSE: 507685, NSE: WIPRO), a leading
global information technology, consulting and business process
services company, today organized the 15th edition of the ‘Spirit
of Wipro’ (SOW) Run globally with thousands of participants across
35 countries, running separately, yet together in spirit, at a time
of their choosing.
The theme for this year’s Run was “United. Unstoppable”, which
celebrated camaraderie, resilience and a shared sense of community
among several thousands of Wipro employees, their friends and
families, alumni, customers, partners and suppliers.
The SOW Run is an annual, global tradition at Wipro and has been
held every year since its inception. This year too, the Run was
organized on schedule despite the pandemic induced constraints. The
runners strictly adhered to the local COVID-19 guidelines and
safety protocols in various countries while participating in the
event.
Commenting on the Run, Thierry Delaporte, Chief Executive
Officer and Managing Director, Wipro Limited said, “We are
connecting in a new way — gathering with technology rather than in
person. But the Spirit of Wipro Run still stands for everything it
has represented since it began: our passion for client success,
respect for others, global responsibility, and unyielding
integrity.”
Saurabh Govil, President and Chief Human Resources Officer,
Wipro Limited said, “Despite the changed circumstances, the
tradition remains alive, our purpose remains unchanged. The Run is
a testament to the spirit of togetherness of Wiproites in these
extraordinary times and a celebration of all that we stand for. We
expect the proceeds from the Run to benefit communities that we
operate in.”
Each year the proceeds from the SOW Run are used towards social
causes identified by the locations, globally. The funds raised by
the runners are matched 100% by Wipro Limited and are utilized by
Wipro Cares, the community initiatives arm of Wipro Limited. In the
United States, where Wipro has a significant presence, the funds
will be used to support educational programmes in underserved
communities.
