An interview with T.K.Kurien, President, Consulting Services, Global Programs and Strategic Initiatives, Wipro
T.K.Kurien, President, Consulting Services, Global Programs and Strategic Initiatives at Wipro Technologies, the global IT services arm of software-to-soap maker Wipro Ltd, was recently given the additional responsibility of heading the Product Engineering Services (PES) division of the company.
Excerpts from the interview:
What is your strategy to stimulate growth in the PES division?
We had gone after the R&D side of the telecom companies and the enterprise segment is pretty much left open. Our plan is to go after those segments targeting enterprise services such as package implementation and BPO. That should last us for 12 to 18 months. We are planning to put together a separate team to drive growth in these areas. Growth will also come from those areas where we are aligned with the customer revenue stream.
The mobile platform that we recently picked up from Nokia is part of the strategy. We believe growth in the communications segment is not going to come from running networks. It is going to come from enterprise side and applications side.
We have broken up our telecom business segments such as consumer, enterprise, media and networks. We believe the networks will ultimately become shared services and the cost of network deployment will actually come down.
We are investing in all four areas and that's why the content delivery platform becomes very important for us, we need platforms for delivery of content.
