The four Strategic Market Units will be Americas 1, Americas 2, Europe and Asia Pacific Middle East Africa (APMEA). While Americas 1 and Americas 2 will be organised by sectors, Europe and APMEA will be structured by countries.

1. Americas 1 will include the following sectors - Healthcare & Medical Devices, Consumer Goods & Lifesciences, Retail, Transportation & Services, Communication, Media & Info services, Tech Products & Platforms and Latin America.

2. Americas 2 will include the following sectors - Banking, Securities, Investment Banking & Insurance, Manufacturing, Hi-tech, Energy & Utilities and Canada.

3. Europe will include following 6 regions - UK and Ireland, Switzerland, Germany, Benelux, Nordics and Southern Europe.

4. APMEA will include 6 regions – Australia & New Zealand, India, Middle East, South East Asia, Japan and Africa.

The SMUs in Europe and APMEA will be responsible for all industry sectors in these regions.

The two Global Business Lines: iDEAS (Integrated Digital, Engineering & Application Services) will include the following Service Lines - Domain and Consulting, Applications & Data, Engineering and R&D and Wipro Digital. The second Global Business Line iCORE (Integrated Cloud Infrastructure (CIS), Digital Operations (DOP), Risk & Enterprise Cyber Security Services (CRS)) will include CIS, DOP and CRS Service lines.

The SMUs are organised by markets and GBLs by capabilities. While the SMUs will own the P&Ls, delivery and practices will be aligned with GBLs.
