Wipro announced the expansion of its business operations in South Korea. This would include: an enlarged office footprint in Seoul, the launch of a new Innovation Lab, as part of the Wipro Innovation Network (WIN), and continued investment in local talent to support South Korean clients locally and globally.

Wipro’s expanded presence reflected the growing importance of Korea in shaping global innovation and the increasing demand from South Korean enterprises for AI‑led transformation that could scale across markets, said Wipro.

Vinay Firake, CEO of APMEA (Asia Pacific, India, Middle East, and Africa) Strategic Market Unit, Wipro Limited, said, “South Korea is a strategic growth market for Wipro and an increasingly important center of global innovation. Our expanded presence reflects our long‑term commitment to the region.’’

By strengthening local capabilities, connecting Korea more deeply into Wipro’s global delivery and innovation network, and co‑innovating closely with clients, the company was aiming to help enterprises translate innovation into measurable business outcomes, he added.

South Korea has emerged as a major global innovation hub, with leadership across semiconductors, advanced technology, automotive engineering, and industrial manufacturing. Wipro currently employs several hundred professionals in South Korea and continues to make sustained investments in the local ecosystem.
