Wipro's new CEO: Can foreign executives succeed at Indian IT firms?

With the appointment of Thierry Delaporte as the new Wipro CEO, two top executives in two big companies in Indian IT sector are now foreigners.  Last year, Cognizant, which has majority Indian workforce, appointed former Vodafone executive Brian Humphries as the CEO. Experts Moneycontrol spoke to said Humphries is doing everything right early into his tenure. In case of Wipro, the more pressing issue is growth. Delaporte, former COO, Capgemini, will have to push for growth and bring in large deals.
