Wipro will promote over 5,000 employees by December as it looks to retain crucial younger talent with digital skills within its fold in a market that is witnessing high demand for such professionals, similar to the early 2000's. Wipro and its peers such as Infosys have seen high-attrition in the three-five year experience level as there is a global-demand for people with such skills.

Quarterly earnings from biggies like Reliance Industries, HUL and Wipro as well as overseas cues would be the major driving factors for the domestic indices this week, according to analysts. Announcing its results after market hours on Friday, India's second-largest IT services company Infosys said its consolidated net profit declined by 2.2 per cent to Rs 4,019 crore for the July-September 2019 quarter.

Wipro has set a target of $50-million in automation-only deals, as the technology services company strives to grow faster through digital-led revenue, two-people with knowledge of the matter told ET. The Wipro-leadership has tasked the Wipro HOLMES team to bag more automation-only deals, apart from other contracts that come with a digital-technology component. The company has stepped-up focus on digital technology-led delivery of services.
