By ChannelTimes Staff

Wipro Infotech, the India and Middle East IT business of Wipro Ltd, has opened its second manufacturing unit at Kotdwar in Uttarakhand.

As the subcontinent is one of the fastest-growing economies, Sankaran said, the company felt the need to equip itself with world-class manufacturing and delivery capabilities.

Some of the key capabilities of this unit are: fully automated production lines designed on LEAN Manufacturing practice applying Six Sigma principles; product engineering and R&D labs for continuous innovation in products and processes; and green facility with water harvesting, green belt, low energy consumption and negligible environment emissions.
