Wipro: Wipro cuts freshers’ salary; here’s what company said in the email – Times of India
Wipro has reportedly cut freshers’ salaries by half. According to a report in Economic Times (ET), the company has given the option of taking up the project engineer role that pays a salary of Rs 3.5 lakh per annum, much lower than what it initially offered, to the freshers that are awaiting onboarding.
The Bengaluru-based IT company has sent emails to its Wipro ‘Turbo’ candidates, typically offered Rs 6.5 lakh per annum, asking them to take up the lower-paying role generally said to be offered to Wipro Elite candidates. The offers were made on February 16 with the deadline to accept by February 20. ET has seen a copy of the mail sent to these freshers.
The onboarding for these roles is likely to start from March 2023 and all previous offers will stand void if one chooses to accept the new offer. Quoting sources, the report says that the company has said it could not “commit to a joining date” if one chooses not to accept the lower-paid option and holds on to her original offer of Rs 6.5 lakh per annum.
What Wipro’s email to freshers says
“Like others in our industry, we continue to access global economies and customer needs, which factor into our hiring plans,” the company mail reads. “We appreciate your commitment and patience as we try to identify joining opportunities for you,” the email further added. According to the email, the offer has been made to all ‘Velocity’ graduates of the fiscal year 2022-23 batch. ‘Velocity’ is the skilling and training programme undertaken by Wipro Elite candidates (Rs 3.5 LPA) to be eligible for Turbo package (Rs 6.5 LPA).

“In light of the changing macro environment and, as a result, our business needs, we had to adjust our onboarding plans,” Wipro said in response to the mail seeking comment. “As we work to honour all outstanding offers made, this current offer creates an immediate opportunity for candidates to start their careers, build their expertise and acquire new skills — both through the interesting and innovative work that we do, as well as our extensive learning and development programmes,” it added.
