Summary
Wipro reported a net reduction of 6,716 employees during Q2 FY27, shrinking its workforce to 236,328 at the end of September from 243,044 at the end of June. The company’s voluntary attrition rate eased marginally to 13.8% from 13.9% in the prior quarter. The article frames the decline as part of broader workforce recalibrations across India’s top IT firms and notes that the net headcount movement does not disclose whether departures were voluntary, involuntary (layoffs), or due to hiring, and Wipro has not provided a detailed breakdown of fresher hiring for the quarter. The reduction contrasts with net additions reported by peers such as TCS, HCLTech and Tech Mahindra and is discussed in the context of shifting demand toward experienced, specialised tech talent.
