Wipro adds 135 employees in Q4, attrition eases to 13.8%

Wipro ended the March 2026 quarter with 242,156 employees, a net addition of just 135 people from the 242,021 it had in the December quarter, as India's fourth-largest IT services company continued to hire cautiously amid a demand environment that remains uneven across verticals.

On a year-on-year basis, the headcount picture looks different. Wipro employed 233,346 people at the end of March 2025, meaning the company added roughly 8,810 employees over the full fiscal year.

Attrition continued its downward trajectory. Voluntary attrition on a trailing 12-month basis came in at 13.8% in the March quarter, easing from 14.2% in the December quarter and 15.1% in the June quarter.  

Workforce utilisation, a metric that signals how efficiently a company is deploying its bench, dipped slightly in the quarter. Net utilisation excluding trainees stood at 83.5% in Q4, compared to 83.1% in Q3 and 86.4% in Q2.

Wipro reported a 12.27% rise in its consolidated net profit, reaching Rs 3,501.8 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The tech giant had posted a net profit of Rs 3,119 crore in the preceding December quarter. On a year-on-year basis, however, the net profit witnessed a slight dip of 1.9% compared to the Rs 3,569.6 crore it clocked in the same quarter last year.

Revenue from operations for the fourth quarter came in at Rs 24,236.3 crore, registering a growth of 7.69% from Rs 22,504.2 crore reported in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year. Compared to the preceding quarter, the top line grew 2.88% from Rs 23,555.8 crore.

Meanwhile, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) saw its headcount increase by 2,356 employees on a net basis in the March quarter of FY26.

TCS’ total employee base stood at 584,519 at the end of Q4FY26.
