Wipro Limited, a technology services and consulting company, has relocated its Middle East regional headquarters from Al Khobar to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The move strengthens Wipro’s regional footprint, which includes offices in Riyadh, Al Khobar, Jeddah, and Jubail.
The new Riyadh office was officially inaugurated with the participation of Wipro executives, employees, and customers. This relocation aligns with the company’s efforts to expand its operations and presence in Saudi Arabia.
In a related development, Wipro signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University (PMU) to establish a Center of Excellence (CoE) in Riyadh. The CoE aims to provide academic training, practical experience, and access to Wipro’s technology resources. It focuses on developing advanced technology skills among Saudi nationals to support local workforce development and meet industry demands.
This collaboration reflects ongoing efforts to enhance technology education and create a skilled talent pool in the region. The CoE will help prepare young professionals for emerging roles in technology and contribute to the kingdom’s broader digital transformation goals.
Vinay Firake, CEO – Asia Pacific, India, Middle East & Africa (APMEA), Wipro Limited, stated, “The establishment of our new regional headquarters in Riyadh reaffirms our commitment to supporting the dynamic business landscape in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This strategic move, combined with our ongoing involvement in supporting the goals of the Kingdom, aligns with our vision of driving sustained growth and a future-ready workforce in the region. This commitment is strengthened by the recent appointment of Mohamed Mousa as our new Managing Director for Wipro Middle East out of our Riyadh headquarters, which will further advance our decades-long presence in the Middle East.”
