• Work closely with Strategic Market Units and Global Business Lines in technology, business process, and engineering to deliver joined-up “One Wipro” solutions.
• Advise clients on key setup decisions, including where to locate a GCC, how to design the operating model, how governance should work, what talent strategy is needed, how digital capability should be enabled, and what infrastructure is required.
• Lead transformation programmes that align GCC objectives with broader enterprise goals and deliver measurable results.
• Build relationships with ecosystem partners in real estate, HR, technology, and infrastructure to support complete GCC setup and transformation solutions.
• Evaluate and vet partners to ensure they fit client requirements and Wipro’s strategic priorities.
