Azim Premji, Chairman of Wipro, commenting on the results said, "We have completed the demerger of the ‘Diversified Business' effective March 31, 2013 to make Wipro Limited a pure play IT company. We are confident that being a technology - focused company will provide a fresh momentum for growth."

Suresh Senapaty, Executive Director & Chief Financial Officer of Wipro, said, "The cross currencies have been volatile and impacted our financial performance in the quarter. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, we have been able to maintain margins on a sequential basis. We have shown significant improvements in cash flow generation for the year."

T K Kurien, Executive Director & Chief Executive Officer, IT Business, noted, "We continue to see improvement in our customer satisfaction and employee engagement. Our continued investments in the go-to-market organization positions us well for the future."
