1. Wipro CEO Abid Ali Neemuchwala: Priority is to stay the same in terms of customer centricity, building talent, financial metrics and execution of the strategy. These are the four major buckets. There are also others like account mining, customer satisfaction, creating IP, revenue, margins etc. The priority will also be to spot talent for leadership. We will also be retraining a lot of people in digital technologies.

2. Wipro CEO Abid Ali Neemuchwala: As far as cultural changes to be made in Wipro are concerned, the large part of what I will be doing is to transform the behavior of the company. This is to make it faster, ambitious, flexible, agile and nimble like startup. All this will be added on the top of the present culture of, internal transparency, customer and technology focused.

3. Wipro CEO Abid Ali Neemuchwala: 2016 is an important year, mainly because the model is changing significantly both on demand & technology and also people movement & the supply side. With automation coming in, it does not matter where the people sit. All this is coming together and driving change. Today competition is also coming in from newer companies. The advantage we have is our corporate venture fund, where if we find a suitable entity, we can make an investment.

4. Wipro CEO Abid Ali Neemuchwala: On demand environment, I do not see anything negative, except in some sector specific challenges. It is little early right now to talk about the IT budgets especially in the US. We will get clarity only by the end of January. The demand environment remains the same as I do not think the overall spend will go up. This is the new normal.

5. Wipro CEO Abid Ali Neemuchwala: In terms of deal pipeline, the number of large deals in the market have come down. There is more demand creation rather than capture. What I mean by this is that rather than deals coming from big RFPa, there are lot of digital customers with whom we are intensively engaged and these are smaller in size. The nature of business and how enterprises are giving out the work is significantly changing.
