“Subha Tatavarti, Chief Technology Officer, resigned from the services of the Company to pursue opportunities outside Wipro,” Wipro said in a regulatory filing.
Tatavarti had joined Wipro in March 2021 under its former CEO Thierry Delaporte and operated out of San Francisco Bay Area. Tatavarti is the fourth big departure from the “Delaporte camp” since the appointment of new CEO Srini Pallia in April this year.
The CTO resignation comes following at least three senior executives quitting the company including the latest being Ajit Mahale who was the chief delivery officer.
In May, its then chief operating officer (COO) Amit Choudhary and Anis Chenchah, the chief executive of APMEA (Asia Pacific, India, Middle East & Africa) Strategic Market Unit (SMU) resigned to pursue opportunities outside the organisation. Like Tatavarti, both Choudhary and Chencha joined Wipro when Delaporte was the CEO of Wipro.
The billionaire Azim Premji-promoted firm has continued its restructuring spree under Pallia after it bled a significant senior talent during Delaporte’s tenure which came to an abrupt end with 15 months of his tenure still remaining.
