Wipro revenue drops 2.3% in June quarter
BENGALURU: Wipro's revenue declined by 2.3% in constant currency during the June quarter, though the drop remained within its projected guidance range of –3.5% to –1.5%.
'We started the quarter facing significant macro uncertainty, which kept overall demand muted.
Our clients prioritised initiatives with immediate impact, focusing on cost optimisation and vendor consolidation.
At the same time, they accelerated their AI, data, and modernisation programs. We saw a clear trend of many AI projects moving to scale and production,' said Wipro CEO Srini Pallia.
Operating margins fell to 17.3% in the June quarter from 17.5% in the March quarter of last fiscal, though this marked an 80-basis-point improvement year-on-year.
'In Q1 we delivered 17.3%, which is a 20-basis-point movement. If you look at forex, it's really flattish. Our utilisation has been flattish. We've had some savings in selling, general and administrative expenses, and we had the revenue decline being offset through operational improvements.
That's broadly how I would characterise the margins for the quarter,' said CFO Aparna Iyer.
Q1FY26 Snapshot
Despite modest revenue performance, Wipro reported strong deal wins, with total contract value (TCV) reaching $5 billion—a 50.7% year-on-year increase.
Large deals contributed $2.7 billion, up 131% year-on-year. Iyer noted that execution of these large deals would span 6–8 quarters, with stronger impact expected in the second half of the fiscal. Most of these deals focused on cost reduction and vendor consolidation.
Across geographies, the Americas grew 1.5% year-on-year in constant currency, maintaining strong deal momentum. Revenue in APMEA remained flat, supported by digital spending in India, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Pallia said Europe continued to face headwinds, with clients prioritising competitiveness. 'In BFSI, demand is strong and steady,' he said.
Wipro has guided for sequential revenue growth of -1% to 1% in constant currency for the Sept quarter. Wipro's workforce declined by 114 employees, bringing total headcount to 233,232 at the end of the June quarter.

AI Boom Keeps Key Power Costs at Record on Largest US Grid
Business and households supplied by the largest US grid will pay $16.1 billion to ensure there is enough electricity supply to meet soaring power demand, including that from a massive buildout in AI data centers. Advertisement The payouts to generators for the year starting June 2026 topped last year's record $14.7 billion, according to PJM Interconnection LLC, which operates the grid stretching from the Midwest to the mid-Atlantic. That puts the capacity price per megawatt each day at $329.17 from $269.92. The shares of Constellation Energy Corp. and Talen Energy Corp. increased in late trading in New York on Tuesday. Data centers for AI are driving the biggest surge in US electric demand in decades, leading to higher residential utility bills. That's a key reason why PJM's auction — once only tracked by power traders and plant owners — has become closely watched by politicians and consumer advocates. This is the first auction that included both a price floor and cap, setting the range at $177.24 to $329.17, the level reached in this auction. Last year's 600% jump in capacity prices set off a political firestorm, resulting in PJM reaching a settlement with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro to essentially cap gains for two years and make auction prices more predictable after wild swings in recent years. Advertisement Despite the increase in costs across the grid, the price cap trimmed costs for consumers who saw the biggest hikes in the last auction. Exelon Corp.'s Baltimore area utility reached a $466 last time, while Dominion Energy Inc.'s Virginia territory came in at about $444. Payouts to generators stayed at high levels due to surging demand from big data centers coming online swiftly, said Jon Gordon, policy director of non-profit clean energy advocacy Advanced Energy United. New facilities are consuming as much power as towns or small cities, coinciding with a wave of older power plants shutting down and lagging investment in new supplies and grid upgrades, he said. The per-megawatt price exceeding the 2024 auction is bullisha for independent power producers including NRG Energy Inc., Talen Energy, Constellation Energy and Vistra, Barclays analyst Nick Campenella had forecast. These generators have spent more than $34 billion so far this year on deals to mainly buy up power plants fueled by natural gas to feed the AI boom especially in PJM.

Tata Communications to build AI-led network for AWS in India; capital investment at ₹430 crore
Tata Communications on Tuesday (July 22, 2025) said it has partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to deploy an advanced, AI-ready long-distance network across India. The project, which is likely to involve a capital investment of about ₹430 crore from Tata Communications, is expected to be completed by the end of FY26, according to a regulatory filing. The collaboration will establish a new high-capacity, long-distance network to connect three AWS infrastructure locations to boost generative AI adoption and cloud innovation in India, it said. "The collaboration marks one of India's largest ever network deployments by Tata Communications in terms of size, scale and bandwidth. AWS has two data centre regions in India, located in Mumbai and Hyderabad, and AWS Direct Connect and AWS Edge Network infrastructure in Chennai. "The network will connect AWS infrastructure in Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Chennai through a comprehensive, national long-haul network, creating a powerful infrastructure backbone for AI and machine learning (ML) workloads across India," it said. The new network -- one of India's largest ever deployments by Tata Communications -- will have a capacity of 7.2 Tbps with a cable length of 18,000 km. It will utilise Tata Communications' network connectivity to provide low-latency, high-bandwidth connections, enabling businesses across India to build, train, and deploy scalable AI applications, as per the filing. "The infrastructure is designed to support the most data intensive workloads, like 5G, generative AI, and highperformance computing. This collaboration with Tata Communications will further enable our customers in India to innovate at scale with cloud and generative AI, and drive growth in India's rapidly expanding digital economy," Jesse Dougherty, Vice President for Network Edge Services at AWS, said.

AI startup Composio raises $25 million led by Lightspeed Venture Partners
Soham Ganatra and Karan Vaidya BENGALURU: Composio, a San Francisco-based infrastructure startup has raised $25 million in its latest round of funding as it aims to build foundational tools to make artificial intelligence (AI) agents capable of learning through experience. The integration startup, which simplifies how AI agents and large language models (LLMs) connect with external applications and services, was founded by Indian-origin entrepreneurs Soham Ganatra and Karan Vaidya. The latest $25 million Series A round was led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, with participation from Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch, HubSpot founder Dharmesh Shah, Marathon Management Partners founding partner Gokul Rajaram, Rubrik founder Soham Mazumdar and institutional investors including SV Angel, Blitzscaling Ventures, Operator Partners and Agent Fund. Existing backers Elevation Capital and Together Fund also participated in the round. The startup had previously raised $4 million in seed funding. Composio is building what it describes as a shared learning layer for AI agents, enabling them to accumulate and transfer practical knowledge across workflows. For instance, when an agent learns how to handle a Salesforce or GitHub edge case, that insight becomes instantly available across the network, making agents more useful over time rather than remaining static. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Up to 70% off | Shop Sale Libas Undo 'You can spend hundreds of hours building LLM tools, tweaking prompts, and refining instructions, but you hit a wall,' said Ganatra, CEO of Composio. 'These models don't get better at their jobs the way a human employee would. We're solving this at the infrastructure level.' The company began building its stack in 2022 and has since tackled challenges around multi-agent coordination, secure authentication and scalable architecture. A core component of the platform is its reinforcement learning layer which is designed to help AI develop intuition. Composio's tools have attracted over 100,000 developers and more than 200 companies, including Glean and several Y Combinator startups such as April, OpenNote, Airweave, Den and Dash. With the new funding, Composio said plans to deepen its learning infrastructure and expand integrations with AI frameworks such as Supabase MCP, LangChain, Vercel AI SDK and OpenAI Agents. 'Composio is building the missing layer that makes AI agents genuinely useful in production,' said Raviraj Jain, partner at Lightspeed. 'By enabling agents to learn from experience, they're bridging the gap between impressive demos and real-world deployment.'
