Wipro Share Price Surges 2% Following $1 Billion Deal with Olam Group
Wipro Shares Surge 2.41% After Securing Long-Term Deal with Olam Group
On April 6, Wipro's shares reached a high of ₹200.80 apiece, a 2.41% increase from the previous close of ₹194.91 on Thursday, last week. The surge in the IT major's stock price comes after the company announced a long-term strategic transformation deal with Singapore's Olam Group.
In an exchange filing on Monday, Wipro revealed that the eight-year deal is projected to exceed $1 billion in total contract value, including a committed spend of $800 million. This significant partnership marks a major milestone for Wipro, with Olam Group employing nearly 40,000 people worldwide. The company is backed by Temasek Holdings, a prominent Singaporean investment firm.
As part of the agreement, Wipro will provide end-to-end transformation services to Olam Group using a consulting-led, AI-driven approach. This engagement will leverage the Wipro Intelligence platform suite, along with strategic partnerships and domain expertise, to enhance Olam's core operations and drive sustained competitive advantage. The collaboration will tap into Wipro's industry knowledge, alliances with leading technology providers, and its Wipro Intelligence™ suite—a unified portfolio of AI-powered platforms, solutions, and transformation offerings—to strengthen Olam Group's operations and support long-term competitiveness.
The deal is expected to have a significant impact on Wipro's operations, with the company set to acquire Olam Group's IT and digital services business, Mindsprint, subject to regulatory approvals and closing conditions. This acquisition is expected to close at the quarter ending Q1 FY27 (end of June 2026), making Mindsprint a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wipro.
