Wipro on Wednesday announced a new AI-Native Business & Platforms unit to complement its services business, alongside senior leadership changes including the exit of Suzanne Dann and the appointment of Nagendra Bandaru to lead the new vertical.
Suzanne Dann, the CEO for Wipro’s Americas-2 Strategic Market Unit, has stepped down to pursue opportunities outside Wipro as per a regulatory filing. She will also cease to be an SMP of the company.
Nagendra Bandaru, President and Managing Partner of Technology Services GBL, who has been with Wipro for nearly three decades, has been appointed as the CEO of the new business unit, effective immediately. He will continue to report to Pallia.
Kanwar Singh joins Wipro as the new President and Managing Partner of Technology Services GBL. He will report to Pallia and join the Wipro Executive Leadership. With over 30 years of experience, he has led complex, global initiatives spanning industries such as retail, consumer packaged goods, manufacturing, and travel & transportation.
The AI-Native Business & Platforms Unit will strengthen Wipro’s position in a “services as software” world, as it delivers Consulting-led, AI-powered transformation for clients.
With targeted investments and a distinct operating model, the unit will accelerate the development of enterprise-grade agentic AI solutions and enhance outcome-based value creation. It will also incubate new AI-led business streams through an invest-build-partner approach, working with Wipro Ventures and its broader partner ecosystem.
Business unit
The business unit will bring together a portfolio of platforms and AI-native businesses. It will own and scale Wipro Intelligence’s platform assets, including industry platforms such as NetOxygen (AI-powered lending), CROAMIS (integrated aviation cargo operations), IHS and HPS (healthcare platforms), Enterprise Telco AI, and delivery platforms such as WINGS and WEGA.
“This strategic pivot further sharpens Wipro Intelligence’s ability to deliver tangible value to clients and drive stronger business outcomes,” said Srini Pallia, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Wipro Ltd . “It positions us to build and scale AI-led platforms at an unprecedented speed and unlock new growth opportunities. By deepening our capabilities across data, workflows, decision engines, and infrastructure, we are well-positioned to lead in the era of intelligent transformation.”
These changes are effective April 1, 2026.
Wipro’s shares closed at ₹191.15 on Wednesday, up by 1.92 per cent.
