TalkTalk?[edit]

How come there's no talk of the TalkTalk break-in? Is this a different company than that one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.14.6.134 (talk) 16:54, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What does Wipro stand for?[edit]

The lede states that it "more recently, [stands for] Western India Products Limited" but the next section "History" under "Early formative years" states that the company was originally formed as "Western India Products', later abbreviated to 'Wipro'" with no mention of Western India Palm Refined Oils Limited.

So which is accurate? Chaheel Riens (talk) 12:29, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Company ditched 'Western India Palm Refined Oils Limited' decades ago. Now it is only Wipro. I tried to change it with reference, but admin rolled it back. Arajc (talk) 06:47, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The edit summary accurately says "Generally not improvements -- variously over-promotional and/or incoherent" I still think that the current version is a little ambiguous, but your changes didn't improve the article. And as an aside - @MPS1992: is not an Admin, but a regular editor just like you or me. Chaheel Riens (talk) 06:56, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So how do you think we can improve the contents of this page? Arajc (talk) 13:43, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Shareholdings don't add up to 100%[edit]

It's fine that it doesn't, but the way the table is formatted it makes it seem like it should. The format also seems a bit messy; if someone could fix it that would be great. Thanks. Trialeditor (talk) 07:50, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have edited the table to reflect the latest share holder split as displayed on the Wipro website Shiunu (talk) 11:26, 13 November 2018 (UTC)^[1][reply]

Repetition of company name in the lead[edit]

Creating this section to discuss whether the company name should be repeated in the lead preceded by a 'known generally as'. WP:LEAD clearly says Keep redundancy to a minimum in the first sentence. Use the first sentence of the article to provide relevant information that is not already given by the title of the article. The title of the article need not appear verbatim in the lead.

As a result it makes no sense to repeat the company's name when it's apparent that it is a legal suffix. No other page does this, see Google, Walmart, JPMorgan Chase, Royal Dutch Shell, Volkswagen Group, BP etc. All of them provide the legal suffix in the lead quite clearly and do not repeat it without said legal suffix. I request that anyone who disagrees with this conclusion come forward and adds to this discussion expeditiously. Prolix 💬 07:09, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

pinging Atlantic306 since they had an issue with this. Prolix 💬 07:10, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Prolix, Agree. No point in including the name twice in the lead in the same sentence. — LeoFrank ^Talk 09:23, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Prolix, ok I Withdraw my objection, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 22:44, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

BSE[edit]

Wipro is not a constituent of the BSE index. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.245.66.149 (talk) 15:03, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
