More heads roll in Wipro, chief business operations officer Doreswamy quits

After the recent organisational rejig in India’s third largest IT firm Wipro, Satishchandra Doreswamy, the company’s chief business operations officer and former TCS veteran, has resigned from the company.

As per the ET report, some top executives in Wipro's service lines including Doreswamy, who were previously directly reporting to Kurien, were asked to report to the newly-appointed chief operating officer Abid Ali Neemuchwala.
