Wipro’s Badri Srinivasan handed additional India charge role after Satya Easwaran quits

Srinivasan will replace previous country head Satya Easwaran, who had assumed the role last April at India’s fourth largest software exporter by revenue.

“Badri Srinivasan will lead the India and Southeast Asia businesses under Wipro’s APMEA (Asia Pacific, Middle East, India and Africa) Strategic Market Unit. Satya Easwaran, country head for India, has decided to pursue opportunities outside the organisation,” the company said in a statement.

Srinivasan joined Wipro in January 2022 and led the consolidation of transformational engagements with clients as managing director of Southeast Asia, the company added.

The initiatives helped accelerate Wipro’s business growth and revenue expansion across key markets in the region, it said.

Srinivasan is a member of the board of Wipro’s strategic subsidiaries and acquired entities in Asia (Capco, Rizing and Designit), and a member of its global leadership team.
