Wipro Limited has expanded its operations in South Korea, including a larger office footprint in Seoul and the launch of a new innovation lab, as it looks to strengthen its position in the market.
The new facility in Seoul is part of the company’s broader innovation network and is intended to support collaboration with local clients, along with faster development and testing of technology-led solutions. The expansion also includes continued investment in local hiring and partnerships with academic institutions.
South Korea remains a key market for advanced industries such as semiconductors, automotive and manufacturing, and demand for AI-led transformation has been rising among enterprises looking to scale globally.
Wipro currently employs several hundred professionals in the country and delivers services through a combination of local teams and its global delivery network. The model is designed to provide access to specialised skills while maintaining on-ground engagement with clients.
Speaking about the inauguration ceremony in Seoul, Vinay Firake, CEO of APMEA (Asia Pacific, India, Middle East, and Africa) Strategic Market Unit, Wipro Limited, said, “South Korea is a strategic growth market for Wipro and an increasingly important center of global innovation. Our expanded presence reflects our long-term commitment to the region. By strengthening local capabilities, connecting Korea more deeply into our global delivery and innovation network, and co-innovating closely with clients, we aim to help enterprises translate innovation into measurable business outcomes.”
The Seoul 'Innovation Lab' will focus on sectors including technology, automotive and industrial manufacturing, with use cases spanning product engineering, software-defined vehicles, smart manufacturing and supply chain optimisation.
The move also builds on Wipro’s acquisition of the Digital Transformation Solutions (DTS) business unit of Harman, which has added scale to its engineering and digital transformation capabilities, including talent based in South Korea.
