35. ❑ INTERPRETATION OF ‘α’ and ‘β’
• Estimation:
This regression line indicates that the with zero immediate initial period

With the sales revenue of the first year (i.e., with X =1)
On the other hand, X =10
Plotting these two points (1 , 21,594.775) and (10 , 48,532.565) and joining them by a
straight line, we obtain the regression line.
𝒀 𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟗 = 𝟏𝟖, 𝟔𝟎𝟏. 𝟔𝟔𝟓 + 𝟐, 𝟗𝟗𝟑. 𝟎𝟗 𝟏 = 𝟐𝟏, 𝟓𝟗𝟒. 𝟕𝟓𝟓 crores
𝒀 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟖 = 𝟏𝟖, 𝟔𝟎𝟏. 𝟔𝟔𝟓 + 𝟐, 𝟗𝟗𝟑. 𝟎𝟗 𝟏𝟎 = 𝟒𝟖, 𝟓𝟑𝟐. 𝟓𝟔𝟓 crores

overwhelmingly positive about the interaction’ requires the enterprise to think about the
customer experience from the perspective of the customer and not from that of the
enterprise.

and not around the customer’s intuitive needs. It is time for customer engagement to go
from being a hygiene requirement to a point of differentiation for the enterprise.

57. 7. FUTURE STRATEGIES AND ANNOUNCEMENT
• “With the approach of combining consulting with digital practice, we can secure
mindshare amongst existing and new customers,”
• Wipro, had a few months back acquired Designit, a digital start-up company in
Europe, which designs user interface and counts Audi, NTT Data and Samsung as
some of its clients.
• So far this has started yielding results. In the fourth quarter, it won seven joint deals in
digital business.
• Wipro is also arming its employees with these kinds of skill-set and as a part of the
programme, it has trained 10,000 employees in digital technologies and plans to cover
another 20,000 employees.
• Second, Neemuchwala plans to focus on client mining, an area former CEO TK
Kurien had mixed success in.
58. • The company has set up an integrated services unit with a mandate of integrating
technology solutions from different service lines, the CEO said.
• Further, it has launched a programme called Addroit, designed for delivery
managers, which is aimed at covering 900 managers.
• Another area earmarked by Neemuchwala is localisation.
• In continental Europe, the IT major has acquired Cellent, which strengthens its
presence, and is looking to setting up a delivery centre in Mountain View, California
and two other cities in the US.
• Additionally, it is investing in markets like Latin America, Canada and Africa.
• Neemuchwala believes that taking a non-linear approach, which involves not adding
people to get more revenue, is the way of the future, in addition to automation.
• In the last quarter, Wipro had said that it had freed around 4,300 employees.
• “This year we plan to do a large scale roll out across many clients and plan to
release 4,500 people from our engagements through automation in the year,” he
said.
59. 8. RECOMMENDATION
• As done above analysis it was observed that as compared to the above i.e. ‘Tech
Mahindra, HCL Technologies, TCS, Infosys, Oracle Fin Serv’ company the
performance of the “WIPRO” is average.
• According to me their performance is very poor because their market share as well
as their financial statements are very low.
• Their income statement as well as profit for the year i.e. (Net Profit Before/After Tax)
is less as compared to the previous year.
• It seems that they have faced some problems in the financial year 2018 as
compared with the previous year’s i.e. from the year 2009 – 2017 they have
progressively gained as compared to last year
• But in the year 2018 they have faced a decrease in the gains compared to last year.
