Wipro will also partner with local startups to share expertise and domain-focused use cases that can be scaled for the enterprise, benefiting large and small businesses. The Centre's technologies, training and expertise will also be made available to education professionals, community leaders and policy makers.

"Business agility and innovation are critical to succeed in the Digital Age, and the investment in our new engineering and innovation centre brings these two elements closer to our clients," Wipro Senior Vice President and Global Head (banking, financial services and insurance) Angan Guha said.

Wipro is currently hiring graduates from Virginia Tech, Virginia Commonwealth University, University of Virginia, University of Richmond and other local institutions.
