BENGALURU: Wipro’s annual Spirit of Wipro Run hit a milestone on Sunday as over 62,000 employees, families, clients and partners pounded the streets in more than 100 cities worldwide.
Executive chairman Rishad Premji flagged off the flagship event at Bengaluru’s Sree Kanteerava Stadium, while chief executive and managing director Srini Pallia led the East Brunswick, New Jersey leg. Bengaluru alone drew 14,000 runners, the highest ever.
“This year we celebrate not just a number, but the spirit of togetherness that defines Wipro,” said Saurabh Govil, chief human resources officer.
Each registration is matched by a corporate donation through Wipro Cares, aiding more than 85 non-profits in healthcare, education and environmental projects. The run unites employees of Wipro Limited, Wipro Enterprises, Premji Invest, the Azim Premji Foundation and Azim Premji University.
The event dovetailed with the Wipro Bengaluru Marathon, where 35,000 runners—including elite athletes—took part. Wipro remains title sponsor for the third year running.
