Shares of Wipro, India’s fourth-largest IT services company, climbed as much as 1.4% on Wednesday to Rs 249.70 on the BSE after it signed a multi-year agreement with Entrust, a US-based identity-centric security solutions provider. Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.
The partnership is expected to help Entrust improve operational efficiency, advance its digital transformation goals, and manage IT costs more effectively, Wipro said in a statement.
Under the agreement, Wipro will support Entrust in scaling operations and accelerating growth by providing services in product development, infrastructure management, and application modernisation.
The deal was first referenced in Wipro’s second-quarter earnings.
“We are pleased to leverage Wipro’s domain expertise and AI-powered solutions to support our strategy, increase our agility, and drive growth. We chose Wipro based on its ability to help us access top talent, scale up to meet market opportunities, and add new capabilities,” said Jeff Smolinski, senior vice president of operations at Entrust.
