Under his leadership, a Rs. 70 million company in hydrogenated cooking fats has grown to a $500 million diversified, integrated corporation in services, technology products and consumer products with leadership positions in the businesses it is in. A role model for young entrepreneurs across the world, Mr. Azim Premji has integrated the country’s entrepreneurial tradition with professional management, based on sound values and uncompromising integrity. Mr.
Azim Premji’s strength lies in bringing together and building charged teams of high potential, high performing people. His vision and pragmatism have helped Wipro Corporation become the 2nd most competitive and successful company in India as rated by Business Today, a leading business magazine in India. Wipro in terms of market capitalization is among the top 10 corporations in India. Mr. Premji very strongly believes that the most important contributors to Wipro’s success have been the articulations and faithful adherence to core values, a shared vision for the future, identification and development of Wipro leaders through clearly defined Wipro leaders’ qualities.
A hands-on business leader with standards of excellence in everything that the corporation does, Mr. Premji is almost fanatical about delivering value to customers and his willingness to sacrifice business and profits to hold on to “Our Promise”. Mr. Premji was the prime mover behind Wipro’s decision to achieve “Six Sigma” status. In his address to the top management of Wipro Corporation on May 2, 1997, he said, “The end objective of our ‘customer-in’ concept is that we want to build the voice of the customer in our products and services. This is opposite to the concept of ‘product-out’, which is the way the world has been operating for some time. In this journey of achieving the near defect-free products and services, Mr. Premji is very clear that as a world class organization, what Wipro needs to be concerned about is the process, not merely the results.

Research is an academic activity and as such the term should be used in a technical sense.
According to Clifford Woody, research comprises defining and redefining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions; collecting, organizing and evaluating data; making deductions and reaching conclusions; and at last carefully testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis. Objectives of Research The purpose of research is to discover answers to questions through the application of scientific procedures. The main aim of research is to find out the truth which is hidden and which has not been discovered as yet. Though each research study has it’s own specific purpose but the research objectives can be listed into a number of broad categories, as following:- 1. To gain familiarity with a phenomenon or to achieve new insights into it. Studies with this object in view are termed as exploratory or formulative research studies. 2.
To portray accurately the characteristics of a particular individual, situation or a group. Studies with this object in view are known as descriptive research studies. 3. To determine the frequency with which something occurs or with which it is associated with something else. Studies with this object in view are known as diagnostic research studies. 4. To test a hypothesis of a casual relationship between variables. Such studies are known as hypothesis-testing research studies. Significance of Research “All process is born of inquiry. Doubt is often better than overconfidence, for it leads to inquiry and inquiry leads to invention. ” Is a famous Hudson Maxim in context of which the significance of research can well be understood.
Increased amounts of research make progress possible. Research inculcates scientific and inductive thinking and it promotes the development of logical habits of thinking and organization. The role of research in several fields of applied economics, whether related to business or to the economy as a whole, has greatly increased in modern times. The increasing complex nature of business and government has focused attention on the use of research in solving operational problems. Research, as an aid to economic policy, has gained added importance, both for government and business. Research Methodology Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem.
It may be understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. In it we study the various steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying his research problem along with the logic behind them. It is necessary for the researcher to know not only the research methods or techniques but also the methodology. Data Collection Source Information was collected through both primary and secondary sources. Primary Data: In some cases the researchers may realize the need for collecting the first hand information. As in the case of everyday life, if we want to have first hand information or any happening or event, we either ask someone who knows about it or we observe it ourselves, we do the both.
Thus, the two method by which primary data can be collected is observation and questionnaire. Secondary Data: Any data, which have been gathered earlier for some other purpose, are secondary data in the hands of researcher. Those data collected first hand, either by the researcher or by someone else, especially for the purpose of the study is known as primary data. The data collected for this project has been taken from the secondary source. Sources of secondary data are :- • Internet • Magazines • Publications • Newspapers • Brouchers LIMITATIONS • The data is collected from secondary source due to lack of time for preparing the project. • The data is not 100% accurate.

Leading ERP and SCM systems have been proven useful in automation of transaction related processes of the supply chain, however these systems have not provided the ability to adequately analyze the operational effectiveness across the supply chain. Current day supply chains are extremely complex environments whose operating state can affect company’s ability to operate effectively and profitably. It has become essential to closely examine and measure the effectiveness of supply chain processes in taking intelligent decisions. Supply Chain Intelligence (SCI) offers the mechanisms that facilitate this view. SCI requires the ability to analyze products, processes, components, and materials.
This demands a data integration infrastructure, which provides capability to extract, transform and load data acquired from multiple enterprise sources like : ERP source data SCM source data CRM source data Customer data Supplier data Product manufacturing / testing data Quality management data Shop floor manufacturing data sources Legacy system data sources Data from online industry trading exchanges Market places & auction Demographics and marketing data purchased from third party data suppliers. Wipro’s consulting framework for SCI includes conceptualizing, architecting and integrating solutions. The service spectrum includes Data Cleaning and ETL, Data Access, Analysis and Reporting, Integration with external data and business databases, Determination of Key performance indicators.
Apart from these service offerings Wipro also help customers in strategizing for real-time closed loop analytical information aiding business process optimization and intelligent decision-making.
