Wipro appoints Anil Jain to lead its India Consulting Hub
Wipro has appointed Dr. (H.C.) Anil Jain as Managing Partner and Head of its India Consulting Hub, and named him to the company’s Consulting Executive Committee. Jain joins from Accenture, where he most recently led the Americas market for the firm’s Strategy & Consulting Global Network.
The appointment is intended to strengthen the connectivity, capabilities and scale of Wipro’s global consulting organisation, as the technology services company advances a consulting-led and AI-powered growth strategy. It comes as major technology services firms invest in consulting capabilities to help enterprises manage digital transformation, AI adoption and large-scale business change.
From Accenture
Jain joins Wipro after nearly seven years at Accenture, where he held several senior leadership positions across strategy, consulting and industry transformation. He most recently served as Managing Director, CMT Market Lead Americas and Cross-Industry GCC for Accenture’s Strategy & Consulting Global Network, leading the Americas market and overseeing growth, revenue and sales origination while providing leadership to approximately 1,000 management consultants.
Earlier, as Managing Director and Industry Strategy Lead within Accenture’s Strategy Global Network, he built and led a team covering 19 industries. According to Wipro, he also helped expand the firm’s Communications & Media consulting business by bringing together industry strategy, technology and transformation expertise.
Three decades across industry
Jain brings more than three decades of experience spanning consulting, telecommunications, consumer businesses, technology and operations. Before his consulting leadership roles, he held senior operational and commercial positions across several sectors, including as Director of Operations at G4S India, where he oversaw a workforce of more than 100,000, and in national sales and business leadership roles at Jio and Aircel.
Earlier assignments spanned Alghanim Industries, Bharti Airtel and more than nine years at Electrolux Kelvinator.
At Wipro, Jain’s mandate will centre on scaling consulting talent and deepening collaboration between the company’s consulting, technology and AI teams. Wipro, party of Capco, employs more than 240,000 employees and business partners across 65 countries, and has positioned itself as an AI-powered technology services and consulting organisation as clients pursue increasingly complex transformation programmes.
