on Wipro vision, values and business strategy. In order to identify and help leaders
develop these competencies we adopt a 360-degree survey process. This is an end-to-end
program, which starts with the obtaining of feedback from relevant respondents and ends
with each leader drawing up a Personal Development Plan (PDP) based on the feedback
