Why It Matters: The article published in Mint on June 16 claimed that Wipro had won a major IT outsourcing contract from London-based Standard Chartered Plc. This was touted as the second significant contract win under the new CEO, Srinivas Pallia. The three-year contract was said to generate over $50 million in annual revenue for Wipro, according to the article.

The deal was said to include Wipro handling Standard Chartered’s data transformation work and IT infrastructure, with a digital aspect to it as well.

Wipro’s share price went up over 3% on Tuesday making it one of the top gainers on the Nifty50 index. This surge followed the company’s announcement of an extended partnership with the US clothing brand Hanesbrands and a new collaboration with the financial services company GBST.
