== Social Initiatives ==

Wipro's engagement in social development work is based on the stated mission: 'Wipro believes every entity has a responsibility to improve the system it inhabits'. The focus of the company is on education.
  This comes through in these following mechanisms.

'''Azim Premji Foundation'''<ref>http://www.azimpremjifoundation.org/home.html</ref>

Azim Premji Foundation is a not-for-profit organization with a vision to contribute to systemic changes in Indian education that facilitates a just, equitable, humane and sustainable society. Though not directly a part of Wipro, it was set up through the personal contribution of Azim Premji, Chairman of Wipro Corporation. The Foundation has the mission to 'transform the lives of millions of children in India by catalysing universalisation of elementary education'. The Foundation has engaged with over 2.5 million children in 20,000 schools across 13 States through a committed workforce of over 250 professionals and hundreds of paid volunteers since it's inception in 2001.

The work of the foundation mainly focuses on the areas:
* talent development
* knowledge creation
* deep-on-ground institutionalized impact

'''Wipro Cares'''<ref>[http://www.wipro.com/corporate/aboutus/corporate-social-responsibility.htm]</ref>, <ref>[http://wiprocares.blogspot.com/]</ref>

Wipro Cares is a social initiative by Wipro Technologies wherwas set up in 2003 to create an avenue for tapping existing and new efforts of individual Wiproites volunteering for social development initiatives. The employees voluntarily involve in various social causes in order to help people affected in crisis situations.  The social initiatives also include providing education opportunities, health and wellness programs for the needy thus touching every level of society that needs support. The volunteering efforts are both in terms of cash offerings as well as through inputs in other ways. 
Wipro Cares is managed by one full-time employee and has approximately 200 volunteers. Wipro offices with 500 or more employees were encouraged to be a part of this initiative, and it is through this mechanism that the volunteer force is identified and has grown. For a total workforce of approximatetly 30,000, this is a small but a significant beginning. The employees also maintain a blog that contains the activities being conducted at different locations by Wipro Cares.
