"Innovation is a key business driver for us. We use Wipro's Applied Innovation framework to create new innovative solutions that focus on resolving our customers' business challenges." ¹

- Ashok Tripathy, Head, Wipro Personal Computing, in 2008.

"Innovation comes from applying creativity or applying thought. Innovation is about action versus just ideas, as much about implementation as about design. It is not about mere incremental improvements in our course of daily operations or a one-off new brilliant idea. It is a culture that needs to be created consciously and pursued assiduously by an organization." ²

- Azim Hasham Premji, Chairman, Wipro Ltd., in 2007.
