Wipro ropes in ex-Goldman Sachs exec Sandeep Dhar to lead GCC business
BS Reporter
Wipro said it has appointed Sandeep Dhar as global head of its global capability centre (GCC) practice as it aims to capture a slice of a segment that has caught the attention of all major IT services players.
Dhar will spearhead Wipro's consulting-led and AI-powered GCC strategy, designed to help global enterprises establish and scale future-ready transformation and innovation hubs. He will report to chief operating officer Sanjeev Jain.
'We are delighted to welcome Sandeep to our team. His vast experience in leading and transforming GCCs, combined with Wipro's robust capabilities and comprehensive suite of services for GCCs, will enable us to deliver superior business value to clients,' Jain said in a statement.
Business Standard reported last month that Wipro was looking to set up a GCC service line. The move is the latest by chief executive Srini Palia to boost slowing revenue in India's fourth-largest IT services company, as he looks to fix multiple issues that have stymied steady growth over the years.
Dhar has more than three decades of experience in the GCC ecosystem and consulting. He was previously associated with Tesco and headed Goldman Sachs Consumer Bank GCC.
'GCCs evolve to meet dynamic business needs. Enterprises require a trusted partner with the strategic vision to transform them into innovation hubs that drive impact,' Dhar said.

Russian conundrum: India must decide rationally amid US tariff pressures
While the near-term outlook is uncertain, India must begin preparing to confront the unfortunate reality it now faces Business Standard Editorial Comment Listen to This Article The imposition of an additional 25 per cent tariff by the United States (US) on imports from India, on top of the 25 per cent reciprocal tariff, has placed India in a difficult position.

Lawyers must reorientate their identity as facilitators of justice: Ex-CJI
Former Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud has said lawyers should reorientate their identity as "facilitators of justice before everything", and also stressed that ethics should be prioritised. There is no shortcut for success, and the students of law should be lifelong learners and independent thinkers, he said addressing law students here on Saturday during the Vishnupant Advant lecture series on the topic 'The Present and Future of Law Business: Opportunities and Challenges'. The former CJI asked students to keep upgrading themselves. "There is a need for lawyers to reorientate their identity as facilitators of justice before everything. The students should be lifelong learners. Guidance should be taken but the thinking should remain independent," he said. "The ethics should be at the topmost and there should be sympathy for the deprived in our minds. If the new generation takes efforts to learn and deliver honest service, there are huge opportunities in the field of law," Justice Chandrachud said. He also underlined the need of more women to join the field of law. "Women are joining the sectors of superspeciality and technical branches today. This change should also take place in the field of law," he said. "There are students who have come from small cities, rural areas and are successful and the contribution of the law colleges is important in this," Justice Chandrachud said. The students should get advanced facilities like libraries, database. At the same time, seniors should think of supporting the new lawyers financially in their initial days, he added.
