 "Tech-giant Wipro to quadruple employee count in Norway to 350 in two years")
IT services company Wipro Ltd on Tuesday said it expects to ramp up employee count in Norway to 350 in the next two years, and is increasing investment there locally to help clients capitalise on digital transformation.
With increased local investment, Wipro is positioning itself as a core part of the business ecosystem in Norway, the Bengaluru-headquartered IT major said in a release.
"Wipro Ltd, a leading global information technology, consulting and business process services company, is increasing its investment locally in Norway to help its clients capitalise on digital transformation," Wipro said.
Within the next two years the company is looking to grow from 85 to 350 employees in Norway, it said.
"The increased local investment is part of our new operating model, which has identified the Nordics as one of the strategic market units in Europe. As such, we are positioning ourselves as an innovation partner to businesses in the region," Vinay Firake, Senior Vice President & Managing Director, Nordics, Wipro Ltd, said.
The idea behind the new operating model is to empower local management to provide more in-depth local contact, decision making and investment for the long-term benefit of clients there.

Wipro first established itself in Norway and the Nordics in 2006. Since then, Wipro has supported some of the region's largest companies by transforming their business through technology.
