ASIA IN BRIEF Wipro on Friday named Srini Pallia as its leader, effective immediately, after former chief Thierry Delaporte stepped down "to pursue passions outside the workplace".

Delaporte took the top job at Wipro in 2020 – when the business had grown more slowly than its direct rivals Infosys, HCL and TCS.
The Capgemini veteran quickly promised an obsession with growth and largely delivered – in part through acquisitions such as the 2021 purchase of British consultancy Capco.
Delaporte's replacement Srini Pallia is a 32-year Wipro veteran who headed its Americas arm until last week.
