Wipro ka poora naam hai “Western India Palm Refined Oils Limited.” Ye company 29 December 1945 mein Mohammed Premji ne Maharashtra ke Amalner shahar mein shuru ki thi. Shuru mein Wipro ek cooking oil aur consumer products banane wali company thi, jo “Sunflower Vanaspati” aur 787 Laundry Soap jaise products banati thi.
Lekin 1966 mein, Mohammed Premji ke beta, Azim Premji, ne sirf 21 saal ki umar mein company ka control apne haath mein liya jab unke pita ka dehaant ho gaya. Azim Premji ne Wipro ko ek naye daur mein le jaane ka faisla kiya. Unhone consumer goods ke alawa, information technology aur computing field mein bhi kadam rakha.
1970s aur 80s ke dauran, Wipro ne apni pehchan ek IT company ke roop mein banana shuru kiya. 1980 mein Wipro ne hardware manufacturing mein kadam rakha aur Bharat mein microcomputers banane wali pehli company ban gayi. Unhone Tata-Burroughs Ltd ke sath partnership ki aur IT products aur services provide karna shuru kiya.
1990s mein, Wipro ne software services aur consultancy services mein focus karna shuru kiya. Company ne global market mein apna naam banana shuru kiya, aur dheere-dheere Wipro ek pure IT services provider company ban gayi.
2000 ke baad, Wipro ne cloud computing, cybersecurity, AI, aur data analytics jaise naye technologies mein invest karna shuru kiya. Company ne kai acquisitions kiye jisse unki capabilities aur market reach badhi. 2020 tak, Wipro duniya ke top IT services providers mein shaamil ho gayi, jo 60+ deshon mein apni services de rahi hai.
Aaj Wipro ek diversified company hai jo IT services ke alawa healthcare, energy, aur manufacturing sectors mein bhi kaam kar rahi hai. Azim Premji ke leadership mein, Wipro ne na sirf apni business growth par dhyan diya, balki corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives par bhi focus kiya, jaise ki Azim Premji Foundation, jo education aur social welfare ke liye kaam karta hai.
Is tarah, Wipro ki journey ek small consumer goods company se lekar ek global IT giant tak ki ek remarkable story hai. Ye Indian entrepreneurship, innovation, aur resilience ki ek misaal hai.
