My Journey in Wipro

Now as you stumbled upon my story, let me unfold my wonderful journey in Wipro as honestly as possible. I thought college was fulfilling and fun, but lo and behold - Wipro was all that and much.

I joined Wipro Hyderabad as a trainee. The standard of Wipro training is extremely high and we were under constant fear of failing in the final exam. But due to painstaking mentoring by the faculties and some amount of effort from our side, most of us finally managed to do quite well in the PRP.

I carry very fond memories of the training period. Our batch comprised of students from all over India, from Kashmir to Coimbatore and from Uttar Pradesh to West Bengal. And this was the first time I came across the true diversity of India and made friends who are so different from my own culture. Project Readiness Program was an eye opener as it bridged the gap from being a Student to a Professional.

Having a decent result in PRP, I have been privileged to work in some challenging modules and I must say at the beginning it was not easy for me. But I had my mangers constantly monitoring, guiding and supporting me which finally led me achieving the Annual Excellence Award (Prodigy award) under the telecom domain across all the development centers of Wipro.

Some people told me that life of software engineer is very boring. On the very first day of my project my manager invited me for a late night movie show. In my first year I just followed one of the oldest principles in work culture – “work hard and party harder”.

    Since the day I got selected (on campus recruitment) for Wipro in April 2007, I’ve been anticipating what I would have to face when I finally step out of the ‘college life’ - where life’s absolutely brilliant - into the adult life of working… I must admit, after reading your post, I WANNA LEAVE COLLEGE NOW !!!! Honest !!
