Dear Stakeholders, I want to begin by acknowledging a historic milestone – Wipro crossed $10 billion in revenue this year. Congratulations! From this vantage point, it seems impossible to believe that Wipro was founded as a tiny oil mill in Amalner, Western India, in 1945. No one could have predicted that one day, it would morph into a global technology company with a presence across 66 countries, employing over 240,000 people. I feel humbled by the progress we have made in our 75-plus years, but also immensely proud that we accomplished this while remaining completely committed to our values. 1945 was an extremely difficult year for the world. World war II had just ended, and a large part of the world lay in ruins. India was still under colonial rule and facing an uncertain future. Chairman’s letter to stakeholders The post-war world, though, saw one of the greatest periods of economic expansion in human history. Today, we find ourselves at another crossroads. The pandemic is not yet over. Inflation is soaring. An armed international conflict is underway. The global economy is facing an uncertain future, and we are staring at a huge climate and energy crisis. And yet I remain optimistic. Because I believe that grave crises carry within them seeds of great possibilities. The fact that we had a Covid vaccine within a year of the outbreak, and that two-thirds of the world population has already received at least one dose of the vaccine, is testament to that belief. Driven by the pandemic, all of us –individuals, and businesses – have discovered new ways to work together at scale with technology. Demand for digital, cloud, data, and cybersecurity 18 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
services will continue to grow as more of our customers adapt to the new world order. The long-term prospects of the technology services industry look very good. We at Wipro are doing everything we can to seize this moment. Wipro has witnessed a significant amount of change in the last two years. Thierry joined us in July 2020. He has given Wipro a new direction by driving change while building on our very strong legacy and core strengths of the organization. We have completely transformed our structure and our operating model. We have gone from being industryorganized to being market-organized (supported by our global capability units). We have added new talent across the board, with particular emphasis on women leaders. Our leadership team is more diverse now, with a great combination of new and old. We have several new leaders who bring in a new mindset, even as we have nearly half the many leaders in the top 200 mark a decade or more in Wipro. We are much more growth-obsessed than before. We are driving deep strategic partnerships with hyperscalers and increasing our focus on large deals. We have invested in a Chief Growth Office function – a first for the company –and changed the seniority and maturity of our sales leaders. We have invested significantly in acquisitions either for gaining market access or for acquiring new capabilities. Last year, we acquired Capco. It has been a tremendous addition in the banking and financial space, crossing a $1 billion run rate, and allowing us to offer end-to-end capability – from thinking to designing to building and running – to our customers. Cloud is at the core of most transformation initiatives with a significant headroom for growth in the coming years. We have long been a cloud services pioneer. We are investing $1 billion in Wipro FullStride Cloud Services over the next few years to deliver an orchestrated transformation that accelerates business results for clients. We will continue our investments – in building capabilities and acquiring market leading talent – in strategic growth areas such as cyber, data, AI and our engineering business. The future of technology is exciting and opportunity rich. We are accelerating our investments in our Topcoder platform and in emerging areas such as Metaverse, Web 3.0, Robotics, self-learning AI, and privacy systems. We are very proud of our culture and values. It is a huge differentiator for us, and it is important that people experience that. We are aware that a significant percentage of our recruits in the last 12 months haven’t walked into a Wipro office or engaged with people beyond their immediate project. And while we will continue to work in a hybrid model, we are aware that culture and connectedness grow when people meet each other. So, my focus remains on our people. One of the things we are driving is the Five Habits. Our big learning is that people don’t experience our values – they experience our behaviors, through which they interpret our values. The Five Habits takes our values closer to our people, as I have discussed with 29,000 Wipro employees over 94 sessions. We at Wipro believe our story is deeply connected to our communities. 66% of the economic interest in Wipro is irrevocably pledged for philanthropy through the efforts of Azim Premji Foundation. The Foundation works tirelessly to create at-scale, institutionalized changes in the quality of education in India as well as in other areas including working with vulnerable groups, health, nutrition, and governance. One of the biggest challenges facing the world today is climate change. While it’s encouraging to see governments, business and civil society step up to the challenge, much remains to be done. Wipro’s climate change program goes back 15 years and has evolved into a mature yet dynamically responsive set of initiatives. In April 2021, we announced our goal of achieving ‘Net Zero’ greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. We have a clear roadmap for the short and medium terms with targets of 100% renewable energy and 100% electric mobility by 2030. We were one of the first seven companies globally to have their Net Zero targets validated by Science Based Targets initiative. Our business strategy prioritizes reaching our goals in a maximally responsible manner. Inclusion is a way of life at Wipro. Various programs and initiatives have helped us to nearly double the gender diversity at senior leadership levels in FY’22. Overall, we are at 36.1% gender diversity. To foster a safe workplace for LGBTQ+ employees and protect them from bias and discrimination, we launched the Global Prevention of LGBTQ+ Discrimination Policy last year. We also took several steps to advance an inclusive work environment for Black employees, from introducing a holiday on Martin Luther King Day to strategically recruiting from Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). This financial year has been a momentous year for Wipro and I would like to express my gratitude to our clients, partners, employees, and other stakeholders for reposing their trust and confidence in us. I am very excited about the progress we have made, the path we are on, and confident of building on this incredible momentum. Rishad A. Premji Chairman Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 19 Performance overview
CEO’s letter to stakeholders Dear Stakeholders, Fiscal year 2022 (FY’22) was the year we started to reap the benefits of our transformation strategy and began to move the needle in every single benchmark we set for ourselves. At the end of the year, we became a $10 billion company and recorded our fastest-ever revenue growth in absolute terms. Further, we ended the year with the most robust pipeline ever. Despite an extraordinarily challenging labor market, we added new talent at a record pace, reaching a global employee pool of over 240,000. These results are reflective of the success of our bold growth strategy, our singular focus on creating value for clients, and most importantly, the unwavering dedication of our people. As we look to the year ahead, we are watching the conflict in Europe, mounting economic headwinds, and the rising inflation rates and emerging food shortages across the globe. We strongly believe in the power of technology in solving some of our most intractable problems and galvanizing the human spirit. We expect technology investments to only grow in importance in the coming years, as businesses continue to turn to cloud-based technologies and digital tools to enable an increasingly dispersed global workforce, as well as to enhance enterprise agility and speed of innovation to better prepare for the future. 20 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
As enterprises become more sophisticated in their use of the cloud and realize its broad-ranging benefits, we expect the demand for our services to remain strong. Against the backdrop of an uncertain macro environment, we will stay focused on our clients, our employees, and our stakeholders to help them rise to the challenges of the moment and realize their boldest ambitions. Investing in our business, capabilities, and people to help clients realize their ambitions FY’22 marked the year in which we ramped up our investments in strategic parts of our business to capitalize on the growth opportunities in the market and enhance our position as a trusted advisor to clients. We invested in organic capabilities and prioritized inorganic investments that allowed us to provide clients with seamlessly orchestrated solutions and expertise and help them realize their most ambitious business and technology transformation goals. We continued to invest in our cloud transformation capabilities as cloud migration continued apace and could-based business models increasingly became the norm. We launched Wipro FullStride Cloud Services to bring together our portfolio of cloud offerings, talent, capabilities, and Cloud Studio. Wipro FullStride Cloud Services is a true manifestation of our vision of becoming a “Value Orchestrator” who can seamlessly blend capability and thinking across the two merging worlds of business and technology to help clients transform and realize new business opportunities. We significantly expanded our cybersecurity capabilities and acquired two consultancies—Edgile in the United States and Ampion in Australia—that focus on helping clients manage the evolving landscape of cyber threats. The closure of our largest acquisition to date, Capco, was another important milestone. Capco’s consulting capabilities and domain expertise proved to be invaluable additions to our Banking Financial Services and Insurance offerings, allowing us to deliver clients a full spectrum of services—from consulting and strategy to technology development and implementation—in this critical sector. Capco recorded a strong double-digit growth in FY’22. We signed over 60 joint clients wins across our markets. Overall, we completed six acquisitions in the last few quarters—Capco, Ampion, LeanSwift, Edgile , CAS Group and, most recently , Rizing—with each acquisition filling in a different piece of the puzzle, creating new synergies and differentiators for us in key strategic markets and deepening our consulting domain expertise in high-growth industries. We continued to invest in our people and added over 45,000 new employees on a net basis in FY’22, marking our highest ever net talent acquisition! Wipro FullStride Cloud Services is a true manifestation of our vision of becoming a “Value Orchestrator” who can seamlessly blend capability and thinking across the two merging worlds of business and technology to help clients transform and realize new business opportunities. Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 21 Performance overview
Being a global company, we believe our strength comes from our ability to tap into a world of diverse views, thinking, and backgrounds that our people bring to the table each day. I am particularly proud to report that, in FY’22, we recorded advancements across diversity metrics, improving ethnic diversity of our senior leadership by 24 percentage points and nearly doubling gender diversity in leadership ranks. In helping our people realize their ambitions, we revamped our promotion cycles and incentive programs to ensure ongoing career progression and development. Additionally, we created new learning tools and rolled out new training programs to keep our people up to date with the latest professional and technical developments and to become an employer of choice for top technology talent. Our people will always be our greatest asset. We will continue to invest in their ongoing development so they can deliver the cutting-edge thinking and solutions that our clients demand from us. Accelerating our transformation journey In FY’22, we achieved notable success in all aspects of our strategy and delivered ahead of expectations on several counts. To accelerate growth, we prioritized specific sectors in our chosen markets. We invested in building solutions in areas where we see strong growth potential and doubled down on strategic sectors where we already have strong market presence. The Banking and Financial Services is one such example where we are growing our eminence as the preferred partner for consulting, technology, and digital transformation services. Another sector where we see strong growth potential is Technology, Media and Telecommunications. The acquisition of CAS Group will allow us to bring specialized expertise, strategic consulting, and program management capabilities to large-scale business and technology transformation projects in this sector, while increasing our penetration into the Fortune 100. Our focused strategy led to robust revenue growth, not only in our top market—the U.S.—but also across Europe, where we experienced a remarkable 39% growth. In FY’22, we made significant strides in strengthening partnerships and added more than half a dozen new clients with engagements exceeding $100 million. Further, we are increasingly shaping our client approach to lead with business solutions and invest in areas that are critical to clients’ success. Last year, we continued to build out our AI and data analytics capabilities, leveraging our 22+ years of analytics experience and the 30,000+ people focused on delivering big data, AI, and innovation capabilities across the globe. We made remarkable progress in strengthening our frontline sales and leadership teams in local markets to deepen client relationships and better understand the unique local challenges. Further, we are continuing to expand our talent cloud capabilities through our Topcoder platform, which is turning into a significant competitive advantage for Wipro in a business environment where most enterprises are struggling to find the tech talent needed to deliver digital solutions at scale. Business Performance in FY’22 We accomplished revenues of $10.4 billion—a significant milestone that represents 27% growth in constant currency and an addition of $2.2 billion in revenues for the year. Our order bookings in Annual Contract Value terms grew 30% YoY. We delivered profitability of 17.7% in fiscal year 2022 despite significant investments in solutions, capabilities, and talent, adjusted for Capco, our largest acquisition. This will be well above the pre-pandemic margin levels. Our net income in absolute terms was the highest ever, which grew by over 13% and earnings per share expanded by 17% for the full year. We also had a robust operating cash flow generation of ` 110.8 billion, which is 90.7% of net income for the year. 22 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
Overall, our long history of commitment to our communities, employees, and the environment continues to be a critical differentiator for us in the marketplace and will become even more important as stakeholders’ focus on ESG principles continues to increase. Looking ahead The past two years have been truly transformative for Wipro. The changes we made to our operations and organizational structure, as well as the new capabilities we built, have been making an impact on how the market and clients perceive us. Clients are now turning to us to help them realize some of their boldest business and technology transformation goals. They are looking to us to design new solutions and orchestrate across ecosystems so they can act with the agility and speed they need to grow in an era of rapid innovation and disruption. Reflecting this significant transformation in our market position, we recently launched a new brand campaign that speaks to who we’ve become to our clients and stakeholders. Ambitions Realized, our first brand campaign in five years, is a culmination of our remarkable transformation and will become a guiding light for where we go from here. As we kick off fiscal year 2023 , we remain resolute in our commitment to helping our clients, employees, partners, and stakeholders realize their biggest ambitions and ignite personal and professional growth. I would like to close out by thanking our employees across the globe who show up each day with the same passion and commitment to our success, as well as our clients, partners, investors, and all stakeholders for their continued trust in us. Sincerely, Thierry Delaporte Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Living our purpose and continuing our commitment to our employees, communities, and environment Wipro has always operated with a strong commitment to our values and purpose, conducted business responsibly, and stood by the principles of democracy, justice, and equality. As one of the only companies that gives back two thirds of its earnings to its communities, our shared sense of purpose is one of the main drivers of our success. Most recently, shaken by the armed conflict in Europe, many of our employees in countries neighboring Ukraine personally joined relief efforts, providing food and shelter for thousands of displaced people. We also partnered with Project HOPE to raise funds to support their emergency response team and partners in providing critical medical supplies and assistance to refugees. Climate change has become the greatest challenge of our era, posing a grave threat to our well-being, livelihoods, food and physical security, as well as our future development. We have long acknowledged the negative impact of climate change on our society and incorporated Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles into our business. As a founding member of Transform to Net Zero, we are fully committed to reducing our emissions to zero by 2040. We recognize that the climate challenge is greater than us and requires collective action. We are now taking our learnings and applying our long-term experience in sustainability to help businesses define their ESG missions and reach higher standards. In the past year, we started creating a portfolio of sustainability solutions to accelerate how we help our clients address climate change and define optimal transitions to net zero.

Management discussion and analysis IT services industry overview Various industries across the world have struggled to adapt to the extraordinary circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. While the pandemic affected economies and industries, economies are experiencing a strong but unbalanced recovery. With increased consumer spending, the IT industry recorded its highest year-onyear growth ever. The pandemic has rapidly accelerated digital transformation for many organizations and has led to the adoption of digital business models driven by online customer service, remote working, supply chain reinventions, and automation for operational excellence. This disruption has created space for organizations across industries to drive innovation in services and products such as telehealth, online shopping experience enhanced with Augmented Reality (AR) / Virtual Reality (VR), digital payments, and virtual learning solutions. Consumers are more inclined to use digital services like digital payments, digital shopping (retail, e-commerce and housing sector) and digital healthcare. While the IT industry is witnessing an unprecedented demand, supply remains constrained and talent recruitment and retention continues to be a key concern along with current geo-political situation and rising inflation. Outlook, opportunities and threats Companies are investing in large and complex cloud migration and transformation programs, creating multi-year opportunities for consulting services and implementation. Due to increased demand for hyper personalized products and services, next generation technologies such as data and AI , mixed reality, digital engineering, blockchain, multi-cloud, cybersecurity, edge computing, and 5G is expected to continue to grow exponentially. With accelerated rates of vaccination and reduction in mobility restrictions, most economies are expected to reach pre-pandemic levels. While consumption demand has improved, the recovery is uneven due to factors like imbalanced labor markets, global supply chain disruptions, geo-political conflicts, inflation, and a dearth of talent. The continuous increase in demand for skilled talent has been building pressure on IT services providers amidst a significant increase in hiring, salary hikes and higher subcontracting costs. While there is no direct impact our business from the ongoing geo-political conflict between Russia and Ukraine, we continue to monitor these developments. A focus on ESG parameters is emerging as a new differentiator with the pandemic accelerating its adoption across the globe. It has become an important consideration for IT services provider selection. Clients expect providers to not only meet global standards on ESG, but also help them make progress on their ESG goals across key themes such as climate change, diversity and inclusion, corporate governance and cybersecurity. According to the Strategic Review 2022 published by NASSCOM (“the NASSCOM Report”), the Indian technology sector is estimated to witness a growth of 15.5% to reach approximately $227 billion revenue in fiscal year 2022 (excluding e-commerce). Exports (including hardware) are estimated to grow at 17.2% to reach approximately $178 billion in fiscal year 2022 and the domestic sector is forecasted to reach approximately $49 billion in fiscal year 2022, growing at approximately 10%. 28 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized

Stakeholder management and materiality determination EMPLOYEES SUPPLIERS INVESTORS CUSTOMERS THE YOUNG CITIZEN AND FUTURE GENERATION COMMUNITIES AND CIVIL SOCIETY NETWORKS GOVERNMENT AND POLICY NETWORKS THE EDUCATION SYSTEM At Wipro, we identify our stakeholders through the multiple lens of Impact, Influence, Interest, Legitimacy, Urgency & Diversity of Perspective. We converge these attributes with the context of our organization’s core business and value chain as well as in relation to emerging societal issues. Based on these first principles, we have eight identified stakeholder groups. The four extended stakeholders are also collectively depicted as Community or Society where we are embedded. Materiality Our approach to identifying the most material ESG issues for us stems from recognizing the importance of creating value for all our stakeholders Incorporating the range of our stakeholder interests and expectations help provide a unbiased view of the most important emerging issues. Materiality determination for Wipro is based on a comprehensive process that includes an internal process combined with external benchmarking with peers and global sustainability standards. This helps us understand issues relevant to our stakeholders over short-, medium-, and long-terms. A key element at play here is the assessment and identification of emergent ESG risks. We combine our internal perspective through our enterprise risk management process, internal audits using disclosure frameworks etc. along with an extensive review of external analyses and studies e.g. the WEF Global Risk report. The process we have described above is embedded in overarching global standards and principles like GRI Standards, the AA 1000 principles of ‘Stakeholder Inclusiveness’, ‘Materiality’ and ‘Sustainability Context’ and Sustainability Accounting Standard Board (SASB , now part of IFRS Foundation). We recognize that the determination of material issues for Wipro and our stakeholders is not static and evolves dynamically over time. We take care therefore to integrate multiple determinants that reflect this dynamic—Direct economic impact on our business model, organizational values, pee norms, stakeholder concerns and emerging societal challenges. Direct Extended We also apply the concept of double materiality in arriving at the priority issues i.e. “The impacts on us” and the “The impacts due to us”.

Review of financial performance 1. For segment reporting, we have included the impact of exchange rate fluctuations in revenue. Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations, revenue, as reported in our statement of income, is ` 619,430 million and ` 790,934 million for the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. 2. Other operating income represents: i) For the year ended March 31, 2021, change in fair value of the callable units upon partial achievement of cumulative business targets pertaining to the sale of our hosted data center services business. ii) For the year ended March 31, 2022, (a) ` 1,233 million towards change in fair value of callable units upon achievement of cumulative business targets pertaining to sale of our hosted data center services business, and (b) ` 953 million towards gain from the sale of Wipro’s investment in Denim Group, which was accounted for using the equity method. 3. Gross margin and operating margin as a percentage of revenue have been calculated by including Other operating income/(loss), net with Revenue.

Our IT Services segment revenue increased by 29.1%. The revenue for all SMUs grew during the year. The growth was led by a surge in demand for IT services by our customers, consummation of our acquisitions including Capco, a ramp up of our new deal wins and depreciation of the Indian Rupee against foreign currencies, including the USD, Pound Sterling, Australian Dollar and Canadian Dollar. Results of operations for the years ended March 31, 2022 Revenue Revenue of the IT Products segment declined by 19.7%, which was primarily due to our focus on providing IT products as a complement to our IT services offerings, rather than selling standalone IT products and our adoption of a more selective approach in bidding for SI engagements. Revenue of the ISRE segment declined by 18.1%, which was primarily due to completion of certain large SI deals during the year ended March 31, 2021. Financial capital 46 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
Cost of revenues In absolute terms, cost of revenues increased by 31.3%, primarily due to an increase in employee compensation Owing to the impact of salary increases and increase in headcount, including through acquisitions, incremental subcontracting costs incurred to fulfil vacant positions, increase in facility expenses due to partial return of our employees to offices, and depreciation of the Indian Rupee against foreign currencies, including the USD, Pound Sterling and Australian Dollar. Selling and marketing expenses Our selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased from 6.7% for the year ended March 31, 2021 to 6.9% for the year ended March 31, 2022. In absolute terms, selling and marketing expenses increased by 32.7%, primarily because of the increase in employee compensation due to the impact of salary increases and increase in sales headcount and incremental amortization of intangibles recognized on acquisitions consummated during the year ended March 31, 2022. General and administrative expenses Our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 5.6% for the year ended March 31, 2021 to 5.8% for the year ended March 31, 2022. In absolute terms, general and administrative expenses increased by 33.7%, primarily due to the increase in employee compensation due to the impact of salary increases and increase in headcount including acquisitions, increased recruitment costs due to headcount addition during the year ended March 31, 2022 and increase in legal and professional fees. These increases have been partially offset by the decrease in lifetime expected credit loss for the year ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the year ended March 31, 2021, due to collection of overdue accounts receivable and reduced credit risk of our customer portfolio. Other operating income During the year ended March 31, 2022 we recognized gain of ` 1,233 million towards change in fair value of callable units upon achievement of cumulative business targets pertaining to sale of our hosted data center services business, and ` 953 million towards gain from the sale of Wipro’s investment in Denim Group, accounted for using the equity method. During the year ended March 31, 2021, we recorded ` (81) million towards change in fair value of the callable units upon partial achievement of cumulative business targets pertaining to the sale of our hosted data center services business. Operating income As a result of the foregoing factors and acquisitions consummated during the year ended March 31, 2022, while our operating income increased by 14.0%, from ` 123,053 million for the year ended March 31, 2021 to ` 140,286 million for the year ended March 31, 2022, our results from operating activities as a percentage of revenue (operating margin) declined 218 bps from 19.8% to 17.6%. Finance expenses Our finance expenses increased from ` 5,088 million for the year ended March 31, 2021 to ` 5,325 million for the year ended March 31, 2022. The increase in borrowings during the year ended March 31, 2022, primarily, resulted in higher finance expense. Finance and other income Our finance and other income decreased from ` 20,912 million for the year ended March 31, 2021 to ` 16,257 million for the year ended March 31, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in interest income by ` 5,328 million during the year ended March 31, 2022 compared to the year ended March 31, 2021. Income taxes Our income taxes decreased by ` 1,399 million from ` 30,345 million for the year ended March 31, 2021 to ` 28,946 million for the year ended March 31, 2022. Our effective tax rate has decreased from 21.8% for the year ended March 31, 2021 to 19.1% for the year ended March 31, 2022. This decrease is primarily due to certain audit closures for the past years. Profit attributable to equity holders As a result of the foregoing factors, our profit attributable to equity holders increased by ` 14,245 million or 13.2%, from ` 107,946 million for the year ended March 31, 2021 to ` 122,191 million for the year ended March 31, 2022.

The growth was led by a surge in demand for IT services by our customers, consummation of acquisitions, including Capco, a ramp up of our new deal wins and depreciation of the Indian Rupee against foreign currencies, including the USD, Pound Sterling, Australian Dollar and Canadian Dollar. Our acquisitions consummated during the year ended March 31, 2022 contributed revenues of ` 72,730 million. Our gross profit as a percentage of our revenue from our IT Services segment decreased by 218 bps, primarily due to the increase in employee compensation costs by ` 99,239 million due to the impact of salary increases and increase in headcount, including through our acquisitions, incremental subcontracting costs of ` 29,871 million, and the increase in facility expenses by ` 4,724 million due to partial return of our employees to offices.

Our revenue from the IT Products segment decreased by 19.7% in the year ended March 31, 2022 compared to our revenue in the year ended March 31, 2021. The decline was primarily due to our focus on providing IT products as a complement to our IT services offerings rather than sell standalone IT products, and our adoption of a more selective approach in bidding for SI engagements. Our gross profit as a percentage of our IT Products segment revenue decreased by 458 bps. In absolute terms, gross profit decreased by ` 326 million primarily due to decrease in revenue. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue from our IT Products segment increased from 1.4% for the year ended March 31, 2021 to 1.7% for the year ended March 31, 2022.

In absolute terms, selling and marketing expenses decreased by ` 161 million. This was primarily a result of the Company’s cost efficiency efforts.

In absolute terms, general and administrative expenses decreased by ` 349 million. This was primarily a result of the Company’s cost efficiency efforts and reduction in lifetime expected credit loss by ` 79 million.

(H in millions) Year ended March 31, Year on Year change 2022 2022-21 Net cash generated from / (used in): Operating activities 110,797 (36,753) Investing activities (224,495) (232,234) Financing activities 46,586 175,426 Net change in cash and cash equivalents (67,112) (93,561) Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents 1,282 2,172 Cash and cash equivalent at the end of the period 103,833 (65,830) Liquidity and capital resources As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalent and short-term investments of ` 345,491 million. Cash and cash equivalent and short-term investments, net of loans and borrowings, was ` 193,795 million. In addition, we have unutilized credit lines of ` 56,685 million. To utilize these lines of credit, we require the consent of the lender and compliance with certain financial covenants. We have historically financed our working capital and capital expenditures through our operating cash flows and through bank debt, as required. Cash generated from operating activities for the year ended March 31, 2022 decreased by ` 36,753 million while profit for the year increased by ` 13,667 million during the same period. The decrease in cash generated by operating activities is primarily due to increased working capital requirements. Increase in our trade receivables, unbilled receivables and contract assets contributed ` 43,229 million towards the decrease in cash generated by operating activities. This was partially offset by an increase in trade payables and contract liabilities. Cash used in investing activities for the year ended March 31, 2022 was ` 224,495 million. Cash utilized towards payment for business acquisitions consummated during the year amounted to ` 129,846 million. Cash utilized towards purchase of investments (net of sale) amounted to ` 61,751 million. We purchased property, plant and equipment amounting to ` 20,153 million, which was primarily driven by the growth strategy of the Company. We also deposited an amount of ` 27,410 million into a specified account for payment of the interim dividend of ` 5 per equity share declared by the company on March 25, 2022. Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 51 Capital-wise review
Cash generated from financing activities for the year ended March 31, 2022 was ` 46,586 million. This is primarily on account of net inflow from loans and borrowings of ` 68,310 million, including cash inflow from the Notes. This was partially offset by payment towards lease liabilities of ` 9,730 million, interim dividend of ` 5,467 million and interest and finance expenses of ` 5,089 million. We maintain a debt/borrowing level that we have established through consideration of a number of factors including cash flow expectations, cash required for operations and investment plans. We continually monitor our funding requirements, and strategies are executed to maintain sufficient flexibility to access global funding sources, as needed. As of March 31, 2022, we have deferred certain payroll related tax liabilities in certain countries pursuant to COVID-19 relief measures enacted by the governments of the respective countries. We do not anticipate any liquidity challenges in paying these liabilities in the future. As of March 31, 2022, we had contractual commitments of ` 11,376 million ($149.9 million) related to capital expenditures on construction or expansion of software development facilities and ` 22,767 million ($300.1 million) related to other purchase obligations. Plans to construct or expand our software development facilities are determined by our business requirements. We completed our acquisition of CAS Group on 11th April 2022 and the payment of upfront cash consideration of ` 3,922 million was funded through cash and cash equivalents. We completed our acquisition of Rizing on May 20, 2022, and the payment of upfront cash consideration of ` 44,622 million was funded through borrowings and cash and cash equivalents. As discussed above, cash generated from operations is our primary source of liquidity. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents along with cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements as well as repayment obligations with respect to debt and borrowings. Our choices of sources of funding will be driven with the objective of maintaining an optimal capital structure. We will rely on funds generated from operations and external debt to fund potential acquisitions and shareholder returns. We expect that our cash and cash equivalents, investments in liquid and short-term mutual funds and the cash flows expected to be generated from our operations in the future will generally be sufficient to fund the growth aspirations, as applicable. In the normal course of business, we transfer certain accounts receivables and net investment in finance lease (financial assets) to banks on a non-recourse basis. The incremental impact of such transactions on our cash flow and liquidity for the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2022 is not material. Our liquidity and capital requirements are affected by many factors, some of which are based on the normal ongoing operations of our businesses and some of which arise from uncertainties related to global economies and the markets that we target for our services, as well as uncertainties around COVID-19. We cannot be certain that additional financing, if needed, will be available on favorable terms, if at all. Risk management procedures We manage market risk through a corporate treasury department, which evaluates and exercises independent control over the entire process of market risk management. Other key risks: Taxation risks Our profits for the period earned from providing services at client premises outside India are subject to tax in the country where we perform the work. Besides, changes to these incentives and other exemptions, we receive due to government policies can impact our financial performance Mitigation plan Most of our taxes paid in countries other than India can be applied as a credit against our Indian tax liability to the extent that the same income is subject to taxation in India. Currently, we benefit from certain tax incentives under Indian tax laws including tax holiday from payment of Indian corporate income taxes for our businesses operating from SEZs. Wage pressure Our wage costs in India have historically been significantly lower than wage costs in the U.S. and Europe for comparably skilled professionals, and this has been one of our competitive advantages. However, wage increases in India may prevent us from sustaining this competitive advantage and may negatively affect our profit margins. Mitigation plan We may need to increase our employee compensation more rapidly than in the past to retain talent. Once the effective date is notified by the GoI, we may also experience increased costs in future years for employment and postemployment benefits in India as a result of the issuance of The Code on Social Security, 2020. Foreign currency risk We operate internationally and a major portion of our business is transacted in several currencies, The exchange rate risk primarily arises from foreign exchange revenue, receivables, cash balances, forecasted cash flows, payables and foreign currency loans and borrowings. 52 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
Mitigation plan We evaluate our exchange rate exposure arising from these transactions and enter into foreign currency derivative instruments to mitigate such exposure. We follow established risk management policies, including the use of derivatives like foreign exchange forward/option contracts to hedge forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currency. We designate certain derivative instruments as cash flow hedges to mitigate the foreign exchange exposure of forecasted highly probable cash flows. Periodically, we may also designate foreign currency denominated borrowings as a hedge of net investment in foreign operations Credit risk Credit risk arises from the possibility that customers may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed Mitigation plan We periodically assess the financial reliability of customers, considering the financial condition, current economic trends, analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.

Price earnings ratio is computed as Market share price as on 31st March of respective years by Earnings per share. The increase in PE ratio reflects the share price increase by 43% at year end set off by EPS growth of 17% in FY’22 2. Return on Networth is computed as Net Profit by average Networth. The increase in the Net income from ` 107,946 million in FY’21 to ` 122,191 million in FY’22 has resulted in improvement of Return on Networth. 3. Our Free Cash flow is computed as operating cash flow less net capital expenditure. Our operating cash flow was low due to increased working capital requirements during the year ended 31st March, 2022. 4. Debt equity is computed as long term and short term borrowings by total equity.

well-being , inclusion and diversity and people-result indicators have been redesigned to create a differentiated employee experience while also maximizing shareholder value. We are constantly striving to improve gender and ethnic diversity in our leadership ranks across the organization. Certain things, such as our unwavering commitment to the Spirit of Wipro values, our culture transformation powered by the Five Habits, and our commitment to the globally recognized principles of business responsibility, human rights, and corporate governance, have remained at the core of how we work as we continue to transform. People strategy Our people strategies are geared towards creating an unparalleled employee experience through diverse learning opportunities, great careers, and a strong brand. We believe in creating an inclusive environment that welcomes everyone and nurtures an overall sense of belonging. Culture – global and inclusive Culture and values Wipro has been guided by the belief that purpose drives business and vice versa since its inception in 1945. Wipro’s Founder Chairman Azim Premji has been instrumental in laying this foundation and the values at Wipro have been the moral compass guiding us all to do the right thing for decades. This has further strengthened our commitment and encouraged us to create a more inclusive workplace for our employees, vendors, and clients, as well as contribute to the creation of a more equitable, humane, and sustainable society. While our company has transformed through the years, our core principles, the Wipro Spirit, have stayed unchanged. In early 2020, Chairman Rishad Premji introduced the Five Habits, which are our values in action, to promote a growth mindset. The Five Habits are relevant more than ever in today’s situation since they encourage us to be reflective, supportive, and collaborative. Over 29,000 leaders from around the world have participated in 94 immersive and interactive workshops on the Five Habits thus far. As each Wiproite demonstrates the organization’s culture, the Five Habits have the potential to change how we all perceive and experience Wipro. Inclusion and Diversity (I&D) At Wipro, inclusion is a way of life. We are committed to integrating diversity into all aspects of our work and encourage all Wiproites to always be their authentic selves. We value the great ability and potential of people from all walks of life and foster a sense of belonging by embracing all forms of diversity through equitable practices. Our I&D journey is an ongoing effort and involves constantly working on various pillars of inclusivity. While the Wipro I&D Council, led by the CEO, offers strategic direction, the Business Unit and geography specific I&D Councils drive organizational and unit charters. A network of Inclusion champions assists the councils. We observed that while in entry-level roles, there is almost equal representation of men and women, the representation of women keeps dropping as we get higher up the career ladder. Finally, the percentage drops to single digits for leadership roles. This is a common challenge across the globe and industries. To tackle this challenge, in FY’21, we aimed to increase gender representation in senior leadership levels to 20% by 2025. To achieve this goal, we set a yearly target of 10% gender diversity by FY’22. We defined unit-wise Diversity KPIs (Qualitative and Quantitative) for top leaders. The progress was continuously tracked through a monthly and quarterly scorecard published to our CEO and the Wipro Executive Committee. This structured approach, continued commitment and drive from leaders have increased women’s representation at the senior leadership level from 7.3% in FY’21 to 12.4% in FY’22. While this goal gives us direction towards improving our gender representation, we believe it is equally important to foster a culture of inclusion through various programs and initiatives. Last year, we launched several new initiatives in the space of Gender Inclusion like Enrich (sponsorship Program for Women leaders), Begin Again (Second career program for women, W-Connect forum, Women of Wipro (WoW) Quarterly Connects with CEO. On International Women’s Day 2022, we launched the I&D page on wipro.com to demonstrate our dedication to being an inclusive employer. We have re-strategized digital accessibility charter to amplify inclusivity levels for employees with disability. According to the 2016 Harmonized Guidelines for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, our campuses are substantially accessible. We conducted a thorough examination of each location and devised a recommended plan to make them more accessible when necessary. This year, we plan to add a new dimension to the disability charter by embarking on Neurodiversity hiring. We’re setting up the ecosystem to launch a pilot project to hire talented neurodivergent people. Also, we will run another batch of Train-to-Hire to improve the representation of employees with disability. In parallel, we will continue strengthening the Accessibility charter as it reinforces the inclusion of our employees with disability. Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 55 Capital-wise review
People processes: key highlights FY’22 Hiring and onboarding An organization is only as good as its people, and we’re making sure we bring extraordinary people to Wipro. Propelled by this recruitment philosophy, we hire diverse talent across the organization — from global early talent programs, to experienced lateral hires, to senior leadership roles. The pandemic has taught us to work in a remote environment driving our hiring growth and building strong candidate experience. The digitalization drive that started in late 2020, has helped us hire better, faster and leverage technology to collaborate, assess, select and on-board seamlessly. We adopt a multi-channel recruitment approach which leverages our careers website, social media, employee referral programs, advertisements, job boards, placement consultants, and walkins. We periodically revisit our re-hiring guidelines with a clear objective of making attractive and fair propositions to re-hire top talent, as well as maintain a structured approach towards compensation and band fitment considering their experience in Wipro, past performance, and experience gained outside Wipro. We do all this while maintaining parity between retained and rehired employees. To facilitate employee growth within the company, new openings are also made available to our existing employees. Through internal mobility and redeployment, we open up a world of opportunities and retain our best talent. Performance and talent management In line with our strategic priorities, our talent management processes drive high performance across the organization. Leaders play a key role in setting ambitious business plans and leading their teams to meet those goals. They demonstrate high accountability towards outcomes for themselves and their teams. Our talent differentiation is sharp and based on outcomes. Performance differentiation is enabled by clear rating definitions which demand high performance. Rewards are closely linked to performance outcomes. Career growth is based on sustained high performance. We believe values and performance must go hand in hand. We consider our Five Habits as our values in actions. Our quarterly review process continues to be a strong platform to encourage candid, constructive and meaningful feedforward discussions between employees and managers. During the annual review the process enables fairness and objectivity by taking into account holistic feedback through the analytics on differentiation across diversity. There is an annual 360-degree feedback survey where employees in mid and senior level roles receive feedback from their teams, peers, internal customers, managers, and external customers. At Wipro, succession planning is a biannual exercise. Talent is grouped in terms of performance and potential; successors are identified for critical roles and development actions are framed. Executive coaching is provided to senior leadership to facilitate their all-round development. The process helps identify top talent across the organization, with a clear focus on gender-diverse talent that we can engage and groom to take up leadership roles in the future. The purpose is to create a robust, future-ready, and agile leadership pipeline delivering improved business results. Career building is an important pillar of our employee value proposition. Our promotion and rotation policies have been strengthened to ensure more employees can take up internal roles and build a career that they aspire for. Learning and development The Learning and development function has strategically aligned itself to Wipro’s vision of a bold and resilient organization focusing on investments that make learning accessible and relevant for all. We’ve built a wide portfolio of offerings through Virtual Instructor-Led Trainings (VILTs), self-paced modules, virtual learning journeys, social learning, gamified interventions and e-summits to cater to various learning needs. We have enabled over 185,000 employees in foundational, intermediate and advanced digital skills. We have also created six e-learning modules on Work from Home (WFH) readiness, work etiquette, managing stress in times of crisis, staying positive in trying times, leading in a crisis situation and empathy in difficult times. Over 1.5 lakh employees across the globe have completed these modules since the start of the Pandemic till March 2022. We have enabled access to Udemy courses to employees by procuring 60,000 licenses. 1,438 first-time people managers went through platform-based learning journeys as they transitioned from individual contributors to people managers. Over 8,100 women employees underwent career building and leadership programs exclusively tailored for them. We’ve also curated other interventions. For example, our Global 100 (G100) program selects management graduates from top B-schools around the world for a 15-month learning program to prepare them as digital leaders of the future; our iRise program provided experiential learning to 204 management graduates from premier B-schools in India to hone and upskill their Design Thinking and Influencing skills. A 30-day virtual learning program was completed by 17,464 campus hires to improve their presentation skills, customer centricity, and professional etiquette. Over 79,000 employees are members of TopGear, a social learning and crowdsourcing platform. Through this platform, more than 42,100 real-world project challenges were completed by employees in FY’22. To foster a culture of ongoing development, some of our senior leaders in essential roles have been assigned executive coaches and have enrolled in executive leadership programmes at premier business schools across the world. To strengthen capability across critical roles in Delivery and Consulting, we offer host of training programs like, on client consulting skills, a dedicated forum for delivery head with virtual trainings. We also provide transition assistance programs to 56 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized

We also provide non-occupational medical and healthcare services to employees. During FY’22, more than 20,196 employees participated in health drives and awareness programs. Off-the-job safety and road safety sessions were also held. Bureau Veritas, a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification services, has also awarded us platinum certification for our hygiene management and pandemic practices. The audit rated us on six essential components of hygiene management, including leadership, risk management, compliance management, personal hygiene, facility hygiene, and monitoring measurement and analysis. COVID-19 business continuity process We took several measures to preserve business continuity during these trying times, putting employee safety first. We established protocols for controlling prevention, reporting, and tracking infections, quarantine procedures, premise sanitization, and return to work following recovery. We have COVID task forces at both the location and organizational level. Cross-functional leadership constantly monitors identified risks and mitigation plans. All of our facilities have taken precautionary steps in accordance with government rules and best practices. With hybrid working becoming the new normal, vaccinated staff from all bands can work from our India campuses three times a week. All safety standards and guidelines are rigorously followed. Emotional well-being To ensure the emotional and mental well-being of our employees, we have partnered with leading global employee assistance program (EAP) providers across the globe. It enables employees to reach out to counsellors 24x7 in-person and/or on phone to seek assistance for issues pertaining to personal or professional life. We conducted multiple sessions on topics including COVID-19, Work from Home and Emotional Well-being to enable employees cope with the new ways of working and remain emotionally strong. Key policy changes in the Financial Year includes leaves, medical assistance and insurance. We provide the below key benefits to ensure employees can strike a work-life balance: Our flexible working policy and work from home options enable employees to adjust their hours based on their personal commitments; more than 95% of our employees were working from home during the pandemic Globally, Wipro commits to provide 12 weeks of paid maternity leave to female employees across the globe; 5 days of paid leave to male employees/secondary caregivers facilitate continued employability and management of career endings resulting from termination of employment. Employee well-being With the ongoing pandemic, employee well-being has become an area of strategic focus for Wipro. Our employee wellness programs encompass the three areas of employee well-being , namely physical, emotional and financial well-being . Physical well-being Wipro provides a safe and healthy workplace for all employees. Risk management has always been one of our key focus areas. We conduct periodic and annual assessments of our campuses/offices, employees, stakeholders and service providers as a part of this process. All campuses maintain a conducive work environment in line with Indian/International standards. A Food Safety Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) license is mandatory for vendors operating within Wipro owned locations in India. Environment, Occupational Health & Safety (EHS) management systems in our campuses conform to international standards such as 14001& 45001 and are certified by accredited third party agencies. All our facilities have safety committees, which meet quarterly and participate in risk assessments, safety inspections, incident investigations and hygiene audits. Both permanent and contract employees undergo necessary Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) training to ensure they meet with the standard of competence required by law in performing their duties. More than 8,000 permanent and contract employees participated in committees on safety, food, transport, etc. across India, to represent the interests of the workforce. Over 100,000 employees were covered in 21 locations in India and 8 locations outside India under ISO 14000 and ISO 45001 certifications and we aim to cover all employees by FY 23. As an ISO 45001:2018 certified organization, we conduct a Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment annually or anytime there is a change in process, new equipment, or service, and build risk mitigation plans as an ISO 45001:2018-certified firm. We also have processes for employees to report work-related hazards they may notice. The following steps are taken to assess risks and hazards: Break down the job into successive steps or tasks Identify the hazards associated with each step and task Identify controls in place for each hazard Identify applicable legal obligations relating to risk assessment and implementation of necessary controls Estimate the potential Severity of an incident associated with each hazard for both safety and health aspects Estimate the probability of an incident occurring for each hazard (given existing controls) Calculate the risk and identify possible additional controls needed for these hazard Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 57 Capital-wise review

Parents also have the option of the extended parental leave (90 days on unpaid basis) to care for and bond with their new-born. Earlier the extended leave post childbirth was only available to women, now we have included even new fathers under the purview of this policy to enable them to take the extended parental leave for 90 days anytime within the first year of childbirth. In the event that the local legislative standards are more beneficial, the local legislative standards would apply. Apart from these, we also have day care and breastfeeding/ lactation facilities for all our full time and contract employees in India. At present, we have 10 on campus day care centres and tie ups with over 100 centres pan India All our employees in India are covered under the medical and accident insurance policies. These benefits are also provided to employees across geographies as per the applicable laws of the land Financial well-being We continually strive to provide our employees with compensation packages commensurate with their skills and experience in accordance with laws of the land. Our salaries determined by market prices and also the cost of living in a particular city/state/country. This approach ensures that we are pay fairly and justly to all employees, maintaining a certain standard of living. The offered package for both full time and contract employees is well above the statutory minimum wage. Our benefits program follows an integrated approach and provides a range of options for better financial and social security, including efficient tax-management options, life and accident insurance, and medical packages. Apart from this, periodic webinars are conducted to raise awareness on financial planning, investments, and more. We provide longterm incentives (LTI) by granting restricted stock units (RSUs) and Performance Stock Units (PSUs) to employees at senior leadership roles holding key positions. Our LTI plans are aimed at motivating and retaining key leaders. We continue to drive a high-performance and growth-oriented culture through our variable pay programs. Our management compensation is closely aligned with organizational objectives and priorities and rewards for high performance. We also conduct monthly audit of all labour standards for all full-time and part-time employees. To ensure all our Value chain partners are remitting statutory dues to the employee and the authority regularly, we conduct regular audits of all third-party vendors by internal auditors and external labour consultants. Employee experiences, engagement and communication Employee communication As we move towards a hybrid way of work, the need to foster a culture of connectedness and belonging within the organization becomes more critical than ever. Our people are our strength and at the center of everything we do, and the core of this is ensuring we create a workplace where each Wiproite feels heard, included, and respected. Our communication strategy focuses on building trust, pride, transparency, and authenticity. We inspire colleagues to live our purpose and uphold our values while creating differentiated experiences for them. In line with this strategy, given the plethora of information available to Wiproites, we follow an evaluation process of the messages that need to be communicated with employees, so that every Wiprotie has all the latest information and updates they need to do their job. Last year, we launched the myCommunication platform that gives users the freedom to choose the updates and information they want to receive when they want it. This platform also gives employees the ability to send us feedback, which is then relayed to the right stakeholders for action. Within six months of its launch, the platform has more than 200,000 users with over 8,45,000 engagement actions (like, view, share, bookmark). While our colleagues are now starting to come back to office, last year was predominantly a Work from Anywhere model. And that meant we were engaging with our teams virtually. From celebrating national and international days that unite colleagues across regions, to increasing awareness of peoples with different abilities, to having a bit of fun on National Donut Day, we supported our colleagues with a host of initiatives that enabled them to engage at multiple levels. We encouraged colleagues to give back to the community and be socially responsible. We also brought families together by actively encouraging participation to some of our events. The goal was to ensure colleagues have access to the information they need, wherever they need it. And to stay connected with each other and with the organization wherever they are. Other ways in which we drive employee communication and connectedness include: Wipro OnAir –our flagship global podcast series, launched in 2017 to showcase our culture and people, has received over 820,000 hits across 110 podcasts Yammer, our enterprise social platform since 2014, currently has over 200,000 users who have shared more than 3.2 million messages and formed thousands-strong communities within Wipro. It continues to be the largest social engagement platform at Wipro. 58 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
MS Teams act as an effective collaborative tool as remote working became the norm. It continues to be used to set up meetings, instant messaging, group messaging, data sharing, and collaboration across geographies and time zones. The platform has over 200,000 users with over 64 million conversations per month. As a central internal communications team, keeping in mind global labour laws, we share important safety-related messages with our contractors and temporary staff through appropriate channels as needed. Employee Experience Survey (EES) and Employee Insights EES is a purposefully designed active listening mechanism to understand employee experience at the organizational level. Covering the entire employee lifecycle, the survey gauges the overall engagement and satisfaction on aspects such as career, work life balance, enabling environment, and more. The annual EES was put on hold in 2020 due to the onset of the pandemic. However, this year again, we rolled out the annual Employee Experience Survey. Here are the key highlights from the survey: Over 115,000 employees participated vs over 106,000 participation in 2019 The overall engagement score received was 80.1%, an increase of 5.1% compared to FY19 There has been an increase in scores for all six engagement drivers over FY19 Engagement scores of women at 82.9% is higher than that of men at 79.1% The overall experience score has increased by 7.9% from FY19 to 75.2%, indicating an increased sense of belonging at the workplace Support during the pandemic has emerged as the highest scoring experience driver, followed by Meaningful Role Remote work environment, Training/Learning & Development are the top two areas of strength in the qualitative feedback, while Role / Career and Rewards & Recognition are areas that need more focus Digitalization and talent analytics We continue to digitalize and transform our internal systems to drive business outcomes and enhance employee experience. Relevant analytics and insights are made available to HR business partners and business to enable decision-making based on data. Human Rights & Values at Wipro Commitment to Human Rights Wipro is committed to protecting and respecting Human Rights and remedying rights violations in case they are identified; for example issues relating to human trafficking, forced labour, child labour, freedom of association, the right to collective bargaining, equal remuneration and discrimination. Providing equal employment opportunity, ensuring distributive, procedural, and interactional fairness in all what we do, creating a harassment-free, safe environment and respecting one’s fundamental rights are some of the ways in which we ensure the same. As an equal opportunity employer, we do not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, religion, sex, national origin, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation or disability. Our Code of Business Conduct (COBC), Supplier Code of Conduct and Human Rights Policy are aligned to globally accepted standards and frameworks like the U.N. Global Compact, U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work (ILO Declaration). They cover all employees, suppliers, clients, communities and countries across geographies where we do business. Wipro is also one of the founding members of CII’s Business for Human Rights Initiative. Freedom of association We respect the right of employees to freely associate without fear of reprisal, discrimination, intimidation or harassment. Our employees are represented by formal employee representative groups in certain geographies including Continental Europe and Latin America which constitute 1.8% of our workforce with a further 2.4% under collective bargaining agreements. Our HR representatives ensure legislative awareness and compliance and meet these groups periodically to inform and consult on any change that can impact their terms and conditions or work environment. Risk identification process We have established committees and processes like the Ombuds, Prevention of Sexual Harassment Committee, Employee Experience Survey, Audit/Risk & Compliance committees, EHS, an Inclusion & Diversity Council and Culture council to review progress and formulate strategies to address issues pertaining to compliance, safety and a harassmentfree workplace. These processes are periodically reviewed by the top management. We keep our employees informed about these processes regularly through trainings, mailers and internal social media platforms. We have identified the need for a continuing Human Rights due diligence program, which we plan to carry out this year. The human rights requirements form part of our business agreements and contracts. Also, a detailed due diligence is done before each merger or acquisition which outlines compliance and governance risks. Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 59 Capital-wise review
Identified risks Through various projects, audits and feedback we have identified the following as potential risks to Human Rights: A level playing field across key pillars of diversity specifically for Employees with Disability and LGBTQ+ community Evaluate the benefits and engagement of extended/ contract workforce Eliminate unconscious bias at the workplace Mitigation policies/processes We have created specific interventions to tackle these issues: A level playing field across key pillars of diversity specifically for Employees with Disability and LGBTQ+ community Inclusion champions and allies from the business have been trained to conduct awareness sessions for employees across units. These sessions cover themes like understanding gender and sexual orientation, inclusive language and behavior at the workplace, becoming an ally, among others. We are also creating an LGBTQ+ toolkit that will act as an important reference and aid to enhance understanding of the LGBTQ+ community. It will also act as a helpful guide on working with and managing colleagues from the LGBTQ+ community. To foster more inclusion of colleagues with disability, we have developed in-house awareness modules and workshops on aspects such as inclusive procurement, digital accessibility plus Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 standards, inclusive recruitment, and more. Customized workshops are conducted periodically to raise awareness and equip employees on non-discrimination, accessible workplace, communicating in sign language, awareness on reasonable accommodation and workplace solutions to strengthen the inclusivity quotient. Contract employee engagement We engage contract employees for supporting our projects in India for short-term assignments. The duration of such engagements varies depending on the project and the role. We ensured insurance coverage for these employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have also ensured complete compliance on processes like internal mandatory trainings (i.e. Information Security, Data Privacy, and Prevention of Sexual Harassment, among others) as well as background verification. The resignation portal for contract employees has been modified to include asset declaration. Processes like reimbursement and invoicing have been digitalized to provide contract employees with a faster and more seamless experience. We have also implemented a new tool “Simplify Vendor Management System (VMS)” which manages Purchase Orders for our contingent workforce. Sensitization on unconscious bias We have an e-learning module to raise awareness among employees on how they can eliminate biases at the workplace. At present, over, 180,000 employees have completed the Unconscious Bias E-module. People results We have a culture of transparent and voluntary reporting across capitals which include the Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report, the Sustainability Report, the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, Ethisphere Institute to name a few. This has strengthened our employer brand and internal business processes, creating differentiated people outcomes. Leaders who significantly influence human capital strategies of the organization are measured on the performance of key indicators in this area. The indicators provide insights into the effectiveness of human capital strategies and are reviewed regularly both at organizational and individual business unit levels. 60 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
Intellectual capital Intellectual capital is core to Wipro’s strategy. It creates value for the customers and drives sustained growth, differentiation, nonlinearity, and profitability for Wipro. Wipro’s Intellectual Capital comprises of domain and technology Business Solutions that are powered by IPs built by its R&D teams leveraging partners, academia, and startup ecosystem. Wipro has been awarded CII Industrial Innovation Awards 2021 under the category “Special Recognition—Large Enterprise in Service Sector”. Wipro was evaluated for its capabilities around innovation offerings and IP management maturity. One of the five strategic priorities for our organization is, to lead with Business Solutions by focusing beyond the IT office and by leveraging our industry and technology expertise. In alignment to this priority, Wipro has a comprehensive portfolio of Business Solutions, that spans across industries and technologies with implementation success stories across geographies. Targeted to solve specific business challenges of our customers, these solutions are composites that have IP-based assets at their core and are packaged along with our people-based expertise and capabilities from our partners, start-ups and alliances. Our Business Solutions are easily consumable and are offered in flexible and simplified outcome-based and as-a-service commercial constructs. Wipro has a separate funding program called Horizon Funding Program. As a part of this, we identify and incubate disruptive business ideas, thereby helping to drive significant growth and differentiation for Wipro from a 2-3 year horizon standpoint. The key objective of this program is to build disruptive solutions with focus on building platforms, products and solutions of the future; and also to develop competencies through co-innovation. Wipro runs an idea-hunting program called ‘The Great Blue Heron’ (The bird – Great Blue Heron is a great fisher and fishing is used as a metaphor for idea hunting) for capturing high-potential opportunities across customers, domains and technologies. The Great Blue Heron’s HaBBIT Framework is then leveraged to add the solution to the portfolio. Through HaBBIT, the solutions can be incubated using any of the five ways—Harvest & co-Innovate (E.g. Wipro Nuage), Build IP (E.g. Wipro virtuadesk), Buy IP (E.g. ITI), Invest through Wipro Ventures and Technology Enablement by acquisitions (Capco—Digital and technology consulting provider for BFSI, Edgile—Cybersecurity consulting provider).

Intellectual property We believe that IP is increasingly a strong driver of business competitiveness and profits, especially in a knowledge intensive industry. Our IP portfolio is key to our strategy to drive non-linearity, and we believe that our IP will differentiate our products and services, introduce new benefits, reduce costs and improve products and services quality. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and design laws, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures, adherence to Wipro IP policy, and contractual provisions to protect our IP. We have invested in developing IP across business solutions, products, platforms and service accelerators. This IP development enables us to provide standardized solutions to our customers and obtain significant time-to-market advantage over the general preference for customized solutions that entail higher cost and longer timelines. Using our IP, we are able to offer innovative commercial models in delivering services. We own and retain such IPs and majorly engage in licensing such IPs to our customers. Whereas our clients usually own the IP in the software deliverables (customizations, specific application development) that we specifically developed for them under a contract. As of March 31, 2022, we have 1,092 granted patents in various countries. We have filed 41 patents during the year ended March 31, 2022, and currently have approximately 982 patent applications pending grant in various jurisdictions across the world. As of March 31, 2022, we held 366 registered trademarks including registered community trademarks in India, Japan, the United States, Malaysia and over 70 other countries. Over 13 trademark applications are pending for registration in various jurisdictions across the world. We require employees, independent contractors and, whenever possible, vendors to enter into confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of their relationships with us. These confidentiality agreements generally provide that any confidential or proprietary information being exchanged or developed by us or on our behalf be kept confidential. These agreements also provide that any confidential or proprietary information disclosed to third parties in the course of our business be kept confidential by such third parties. While we invest resources in developing, maintaining and protecting our IP, we deeply respect the IP held by our customers, vendors and other business partners. Open innovation Our Open Innovation programs further enrich our innovation capabilities by co-opting an extended innovation ecosystem of start-up partners, academia and expert networks. During the year ended March 31, 2022, we signed partnership agreements with University of Haifa and IIT Roorkee for jointly working on identifying possible quantum computing approaches to complicated business problems. Wipro’s research teams work with the University of Texas at Austin, IIT Bombay, IIT Madras, IISc Bangalore, , IIT Patna, Tel Aviv University and the Institute of Wood Sciences, Bangalore, among others, on various topics in AI, Natural Language Processing (NLP), encryption, 5G, blockchain, autonomous vehicles, Computer Vision (CV) and other critical new technologies. We also continued to incubate new innovative start-up partnerships and scale existing relationships through joint engagements. Our innovation centres, the Technovation Centre at Bengaluru, India and the Silicon Valley Innovation Center in Mountain View, California are state of the art innovation incubation centres that build technology-led innovations to realize the ‘art of the possible’ in emerging business environments for our enterprises around the world. These centres bring together an innovation ecosystem, a set of best practices, IP and research and development resources to help our clients develop successful initiatives. To overcome the constraints created by the COVID-19 pandemic we created digital ‘twins’ of our innovation centres and became truly virtual, through which we hosted a number of our customers and other visitors over the last year and showcased our best technologies and solutions.

Open source is present in 96% of all software used today, and all global enterprises use open source one way or another. We estimate that at least 50% of all Wipro projects/engagements have some element of open-source components in them. Open source enhances innovation, delivers higher quality software and is an efficient way to attract and retain talent. When an organization uses and contributes back to the opensource software they use enhances the ecosystem which benefits all who are involved. This model of collaboration is the most efficient and effective way of developing software. Organizations like the Red Cross, UNESCO, WHO and the EU have designated open source as a strategic technology and as a way to bring knowledge and skills to all countries and citizens. The United Nations has specifically called out open source as a way to make information more broadly available in developing countries and meet Sustainable Development Goals. Engagement in the The open-source ecosystem—from key industry foundations and corporate-sponsored communities, to individual, unaffiliated projects—is an important strategic activity for Wipro. Through consistent engagement, we upskill our developer resources, drive and collaborate on shared internal and external innovation, and further strengthen Wipro’s brand as an industry thought leader. Our engagement is, and will always be, respectful, collaborative, and focused on supporting the long-term viability of the opensource ecosystem. 66 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized

Ethical Wipro expects its partners to follow ethical procurement practices in line with core values of Wipro, the Code of Business Conduct (COBC), Spirit of Wipro Values and Supplier Code of Conduct (SCOC). All the vendors are onboarded only after signing Wipro’s SCOC which includes mandatory anti bribery & anticorruption declarations. We have system enabled database checks (Refinitiv Tool) for vendors across geographies, thirdparty tools to track labor compliance in India every month and credit scoring of suppliers customized for each category (S&P Capital IQ tool). We conduct annual sessions on anti bribery & anti-corruption to identify high-risk geographies and social compliance programs for manpower services providers. Ecological Our IT hardware procurement guidelines are in accordance with the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) standard from Green Electronic Council (GEC) since 2017. We have purchased more than 10,350+ products across desktops, laptops, displays, imaging equipment and mobiles in 2020. This is estimated to lead to a GHG reduction of 403 tons CO2 equivalent, 15.01 MWh of energy savings and 2.3 million liters of water over the lifetime of products. We received this assessment from GEC in 2021. Based on this, we are the only IT services and consulting organization globally to have received the EPEAT purchaser award in 2021 across 4 product categories. Read more: https:// globalelectronicscouncil.org/epeat-purchaser-awards/. Our green building program follows an integrated approach spanning design, engineering services, materials and equipment procurement that meet stringent environmental criteria – both, at the construction and at the operational stages. In addition, we continue to procure renewable energy through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) from RE generators across three states in India. In the reporting year, we also completed an assessment of RE generators in two states based on the principles of the ‘Responsible Energy Initiative’ set up by ‘Forum for the Future’. These cover various social and environmental aspects in the setup and maintenance of power plants including impacts on local communities. Over the next few months, we plan to incorporate the learnings from the assessments in our present and future RE procurement engagements. We also annually assess our electronic waste recyclers on meeting recycling standards. Some of the improvement areas are in better labour standards compliance and Health & Safety practices. Equity Wipro is an inclusive organization in spirit and in practice. We have implemented inclusive procurement practices at all levels of the supply chain. Wipro mandates its partners to adhere to principles of human rights, employee welfare, health and safety, standards of minimum wages and maximum working hours. Wipro being an Equal Opportunity employer is committed to procuring products and services which are developed based on universal design principles and accessibility standards such as Harmonized Guidelines (HG), 2016 Government of India for physical infrastructure and the WCAG (Web Content Access Guidelines) 2.1 AA meant for ICT products. We consider this is critical towards creating equitable opportunity for all users, in particular for our employees with disability. Wipro has a robust global supplier diversity program which aims to promote equal entrepreneurial opportunities for historically disadvantaged small local businesses, enterprises owned by women, LGBTQ, persons with disability, minorities, and other similar groups. Wipro has instituted two flagship programs for new as well as existing suppliers meeting certified norms of diversity: the ‘Wipro Inclusion & Diversity Opportunity for Vendors (WINDOV)’ series of virtual conclaves that enable direct access for small suppliers to present their capabilities to the global procurement team and the ‘Wipro Inclusive Supplier Development and Mentorship (WISDOM)’ program to strengthen these businesses by providing management as well as technical support to participating diverse suppliers. To illustrate, WINDOV Conclaves have enabled us to source goods from remotely located Indian tribal women and American businesses located in Historically Underutilised Businesses (HUB) zones; WISDOM interactions have enabled us to identify addressable barriers to increase our spend with existing Wipro diverse suppliers. On account of our supplier diversity initiatives, we were able to register 12% of our global spend with certified diverse and MSME suppliers during FY’22 and aim to increase our global diverse spend to 15% by 2024. Suppliers Our approach to our suppliers is one of progressive partnership, based on core business requirements of quality, price, speed in combination with non-negotiable principles of ethical and sustainable actions, e.g., zero tolerance for child labour. We consciously call our suppliers ‘Partners’ as they act as an extended workforce supplementing the core delivery framework of IT services and solutions by Wipro. The rest of our partners supply materials, equipment, finished goods, business support services and facility management services for our operations. Summary of supplier sustainability engagement Wipro’s supplier sustainability revolves around the following three pillars: Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 69 Capital-wise review
At Wipro, we think that it is critical to engage with the social and ecological challenges that humanity is facing. It is our conviction that the engagement with social issues must be deep, meaningful, and formed on the bedrock of long-term commitment. This is the only way by which real change can happen on the ground. It is also reflective of the fact that such an approach serves both enlightened business interest and social good. We have committed ourselves to an approach that is focused on bringing change inside out at four different levels: 1) Fulfilling basic duties and obligations, and practicing high levels of corporate governance and transparency; 2) Proactive approach in leading initiatives inside the organization that demonstrate commitment to a humane, sensitive and sustainable world; 3) Engaging with and contributing to relevant neighborhood community issues and initiatives in all regions and countries; 4) Using the power of communication and advocacy to influence the larger society. The central tenet of our approach has been an emphasis on strong, meaningful work on systemic social issues. Our CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) policy reflects principles and strategies that have informed our long history of corporate citizenship and social responsibility. Wipro Foundation represents the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives of Wipro Limited. Going back over two decades, we focus on social initiatives in Education, Healthcare, Ecology, Disaster Response and Cities & Public Spaces. Areas of intervention The ‘Spirit of Wipro’ promotes integrity in all facets of our work. Fairness and respect in the workplace and community are some of our key values. Our projects in Education, Ecology, Healthcare, Disaster Response and Cities and Public Spaces honor these ideals. We work in these domains using an approach developed through decades of social sector interventions and with an objective of making structural transformations that can help us develop a humane, just and equitable society collectively. Community initiatives Approach to CSR Our approach to social responsibility and sustainability rests on three important pillars: The Strategic: We choose domains and issues to engage with that are force multipliers for social change and sustainable development. Social responsibility is as much about being a sustainable organization as it is about external initiatives. Therefore, some of our areas of engagement lie at the convergence of business goals and social purpose. The Systemic: Within the chosen domains, we choose to engage on systemic issues that require deep, meaningful and challenging work. Given the nature of social change, this implies commitment over the long term, typically for several decades, because genuine change does take that long to occur. The Deliberative: Our emphasis on depth and long-term commitment imply a deliberative approach that precludes spreading ourselves thin or engaging in ‘cheque book philanthropy.’ By implication, this also means that we are wary of expanding and growing our social programs as ends in themselves. We will continue to adhere to this approach going forward. 70 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
Strengthening Government Schools in Bengaluru In April 2019, Wipro joined hands with the Government of Karnataka (GoK) in collaboration with Azim Premji Foundation (APF) to improve the infrastructure and learning environment at VV Puram (K-12) and MR Nagar (Grade 1-7) schools in the Bengaluru Urban South District. These schools were completely renovated by the first quarter of 2021. The objective has been to strengthen government schools in Bengaluru with a focus on improving teaching and learning outcomes. With the redevelopment of all important school facilities such as toilets, classrooms and laboratories in these two schools, there has been a renewed interest in communities. Enrolment at the VV Puram school, for example, has increased by 84 percent without any campaigns. Our infrastructure and learning resource interventions have been shared with the State Government. GoK is now using this project as a model to develop guidelines for 275 Karnataka Public Schools in the state. Education School education We support organizations working on school education to enhance students’ learning experiences through the Systemic Education Reforms Program, the Wipro Education Fellowships (through which we seed new organizations), the Access to Education Program, the Children with Disabilities Program, and Wipro earthian. In FY’22, we reached out to ~130 partners through our various education programs. Over the last seven years (2015-22), our focus has been on accelerated expansion of our partner network and simultaneous building of an effective capacity building/ support ecosystem for our partners. Over the next 5 years, we plan to support 125-150 educational organizations additionally, while continuing to strengthen our support ecosystem. The larger goal is to help develop at least one good Educational Resource Organization for every five districts in India by 2030. Till date, our work in School Education has supported 250+ educational projects reaching out to over a million children across 27 states and UTs in the country. These projects have focused on 10 thematic areas and engaged with over 20,000 teachers. The impact of this wide and diverse network of education organizations has been in the areas of access, equity, curriculum, textbooks, teacher capacity, sustainability education, and school leadership, among other aspects. Higher education Some of the main aspects of the strategy of our higher education interventions have been: Supporting the creation of a technology education ecosystem in the country that is diverse and responsive to the challenges of the times; Making sustainability research and training in higher education spaces a priority; Seeding sustainability thinking in students of higher education institutions; Addressing the higher education needs of students from underserved and underprivileged communities, especially those of women. Started in 2011, our Wipro earthian Program, brings together two of our key concerns: education and sustainability. The national level school program engages educational institutions through a partner network of sustainability educators in 29 states and 3 union territories across India. Through this program we also host a national sustainability quiz program, a unique internship program for college students, and collaborate on long-term academic partnerships with leading higher education institutions such as IITB and IIMA in India. Sustainability education Wipro-earthian, now in its 11th year, is the only sustainability education program in India of its scale with diverse learning opportunities for both schools and colleges. This program has reached over 4,000+ colleges and 13,000+ schools since its inception. In 2021, the school program engaged 2,000+ schools and 4,000+ teachers in 187 districts across India and received 1,300+ submissions. In addition, we also run a large national sustainability quiz for college students which was launched in 2015 and has seen participation from 8,600 teams till date.

Access to primary healthcare is a key determinant of an individual’s trajectory in life. Through community initiatives, in partnership with nonprofits, we aim to build local communities’ capacity to manage their own healthcare needs and support regular delivery of preventive and curative healthcare. We currently focus on expanding our community healthcare interventions in urban low-income housing areas of major cities like Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bhubaneswar and Kochi. We have reached out to 800,000 people in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, Nagaland, NCR, Odisha and West Bengal through 10 projects in primary healthcare with a focus on maternal and child healthcare. Ecology At Wipro, we believe sustainable cities must be at the center of any strategy for building planetary ecological resilience. As a responsible corporate citizen, we have been working on making our business practices sustainable while simultaneously focusing on fostering ecological health in our proximate communities in the cities where we are based. Building sustainable cities involves making all the relevant stakeholders talk to each other on a regular basis on urban environmental issues that matter. Bengaluru Sustainability Forum is an attempt at doing this at a city-wide level in Bengaluru. Healthcare COVID-19 response Repurposing IT Campus to care for COVID patients in Pune In June 2020, Wipro and Government of Maharashtra opened the first Covid hospital in Pune. We repurposed our IT building in Hinjewadi, Pune, and offered 1.8 lakh square feet of space for the hospital near the first wave peak. It took five weeks to build the hospital. Over a period of 18 months, the hospital admitted over 6,400 patients, with a case fatality rate of 0.16%. To support the growing demand for oxygen in the second wave, a 250 LPM oxygen generation plant was set up in June 2021. Wipro’s Pune hospital was equipped with 504 beds, 18 ventilators, ICUs and other COVID-19 treatment capabilities. The hospital staff included 15 doctors and 70 nurses. As a part of this initiative, Wipro provided building, medical equipment, furnishings, ventilators, maintenance engineering services, boarding for doctors and nurses, patient and staff food, ambulance, etc. For more information on our ‘Ecology’ initiatives, please refer to the ‘Natural Capital’ section. 72 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
In the past, we have helped rebuild the lives of people affected by Bihar Floods, the Japan Tsunami, Hurricane Sandy, Philippines cyclone, Gujarat earthquake (2001), Karnataka floods (2009), Uttarakhand cloud burst and floods (2013), Chennai floods, Tamil Nadu floods (2015), Kerala floods (2018), Odisha Phailin cyclone (2013) and Fani cyclone (2019), and Amphan cyclone (2020). Cities and public spaces The role of public spaces in cities and communities in creating and fostering important human values such as social integrity, inclusion, democracy, and empathy is well established. Public spaces build a strong sense of community, increase feelings of safety and security, and encourage community members to participate in collective affairs and undertake acts of civic responsibility. The concept of ‘public space’ here refers to not just physical spaces like public parks or lakes but to intellectual and social spaces that are inclusive in spirit as well. Focusing on ‘Public Spaces in Cities and Communities’ became a part of our CSR charter in 2018. This charter supports fostering inclusive public spaces in our cities such as spaces for the arts, sports, theatre, etc. that are designed to be accessible to the public at large. We support two institutions – Museum of Art and Photography (MAP) and Bangalore International Center (BIC) – in major ways as a part of this endeavor. Bangalore International Center (BIC) In 2018, we contributed to the Bangalore International Center (BIC) with the greater goal of promoting socially inclusive, culturally dynamic, and democratic public spaces in cities. Since 2019, BIC has organized over 400 events in 20+ areas including Culture, Environment, Law, Music, Public Policy, Anthropology, Mythology, Philosophy, and others, generating over 3 lakh views for live and recorded events, including podcast listens. Museum of Art & Photography (MAP) In 2020, we had made a grant to the Museum of Art and Photography (MAP) Foundation which continued into 2021. MAP organized several digital-focused exhibitions in FY 21- 22. A significant focus was on making art more accessible to People with Disabilities (PwDs), by producing Individual Supported Living (ISL) content and conducting research to understand expectations of People with Disabilities (PwD) from museums and cultural institutions. MAP also took part in the WINDOV (Wipro Inclusion & Diversity Opportunity for Vendors) Conclave 2021, which focused on small and medium enterprises belonging to or working for economically disadvantaged and socially marginalized sections of society, such as women, people with disabilities and LGBTQ+ communities. Under the community ecology initiative, we focus on creating ecological balance in our proximate communities. We do this by taking up projects that provide direct and tangible benefits for disadvantaged communities through empowering impacts on health, education and/or livelihood as well as those that have a positive effect on the environment. Our project in agroforestry in rural Tamil Nadu has helped 400 farmers effectively implement integrated farming by planting 40,000 trees. Our projects in urban solid waste management in Bengaluru and Mysuru provide social, nutritional and health security to 25,000+ workers in the informal sector of waste management and provide a comprehensive skills upgradation program for these workers. Disaster response Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and cyclones are an unfortunate reality of life, particularly in a geographically and climatically diverse country like India. Whenever these catastrophes occur, underprivileged groups are disproportionately impacted, as the already precarious nature of their livelihoods gets disrupted further. Based on our assessment of the disaster, we support affected communities through relief aid or rehabilitation support, or both. Relief aid is provided immediately after the disaster, while a detailed assessment is conducted for a long-term rehabilitation project. The aim is to enable the affected communities to restore their livelihoods and stay resilient against future disasters. Community Ecology Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 73 Capital-wise review
Wipro Cares is a not-for-profit trust that engages with our proximate communities on the issues of education for the underprivileged, including for children with disabilities, primary healthcare and the environment. In addition, the trust also works on long-term rehabilitation of affected communities after natural disasters. Programs supported by Wipro Cares in these domains include ‘Access to Education Program,’ ‘Education for Children with Disabilities,’ ‘Community Ecology Program,’ ‘Community Healthcare Program,’ and ‘Disaster Response Program’. In FY’22, Wipro Cares worked with 7 education partners, 5 projects in education for children with disabilities, 10 projects in primary healthcare, 3 projects in community ecology and 1 project in disaster rehabilitation. Employee engagement is an integral part of Wipro Cares. Wipro encourages employees to volunteer with its partners and act as catalysts in bringing about positive change and learning in the process. The Wipro Cares governance framework is a great example of employees playing a key role, both in terms of volunteering and contributions. Wipro Cares: community care through employee engagement Volunteering Sundarbans, the last tiger-inhabited mangrove forest, is threatened by erosion and natural calamities. Wipro Cares’ Kolkata location chapter has been planting mangroves in the Sundarbans since 2021. This action has indirectly assisted hundreds of local fishermen who rely on a variety of fishes and crabs that thrive because of the mangroves. More than 100 Wipro employees have volunteered over 1,600 hours to plant 3,000+ mangrove trees. CSR initiatives by Capco, a Wipro Company Capco, a Wipro company, is passionate about educational and financial inclusion for all. Capco’s Impact Consulting initiative gives development sector organizations access to our people and expertise on a pro-bono basis. Capco’s employee program allows employees to select charities and participate in activities that positively impact the communities they serve. All donations made to Capco-supported initiatives by employees are matched up to 50%. When possible, the firm also allocates funds for those negatively impacted by natural disasters. Capco and Grameen Foundation’s Bankers without Borders have collaborated on multiple projects since 2014, engaging Capco communities across Europe, APAC, and the Americas. These projects have covered many business aspects from product launches and impact reporting to developing business models and e-commerce strategies. Capco’s largest partner for Impact Consulting projects is the Grameen Foundation’s Bankers without Borders, an industry leader in using skilled volunteers to accelerate the scale, sustainability and impact of microfinance and poverty-focused organizations around the world. Since 2013, Capco has partnered with Room to Read (RtR) on a variety of initiatives with a shared goal of improving literacy, gender equality and access to education. 74 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
The Wipro Science Education Fellowship (SEF) The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) programs in the US and the UK are intended for education professionals with backgrounds in science, mathematics, engineering and computing, and education policymakers. These assist them in developing disciplinary capacities while broadening their understanding of STEM subjects. United States Started in 2012, Wipro SEF USA is a two-year program designed to improve individual teacher practice, foster teacher leadership opportunities, and create a district corps of teacher leaders supporting sustainable, positive changes in science education. This program is anchored by University of Massachusetts Boston and has benefitted approx. 1,300 educators directly and hundreds of additional teachers indirectly, along with 250,000+ underserved students, across 35 school districts in seven states. It was adapted for online delivery due to the COVID-19 pandemic. International programs United Kingdom The Wipro SEF program in the UK was launched in September 2018 with the goal of catalyzing improved STEM teaching practices among teachers and educators. It is being run in partnership with King’s College, London (KCL) and Sheffield Hallam University (SHU). Both partners have managed to adapt their programs effectively in 2020. KCL has implemented a successful blended model of online sessions for STEM teachers combined with intensive personal tutoring. In 2021, we celebrated the graduation of the first cohort of the MA STEM Education program at King’s College London (KCL). Over three years, our support has helped both these Universities to strengthen their STEM Education and Teacher Education programs. It has also directly benefitted over 115 teachers and teacher-mentors, and thousands of students. Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 75 Capital-wise review
Natural capital Wipro’s approach to natural capital embraces the continuum of: Initiatives ‘within the organization’ that focus on reducing the energy, water, waste, and biodiversity footprint of our business operations; and Engaging on key external programs through a diverse set of partners on the issue of ecology The runup to COP26 saw a sharp increase in country-level commitments to Net Zero – 92 countries representing 78% of the total global emissions have made formal Net Zero commitments compared to just 29 countries representing 10% of emissions in 2019. We are also seeing a rapid upswing in corporate engagement on climate change – nearly 10,000 companies today disclose their carbon footprint to CDP while over 2,000 companies globally have formal Science Based Targets. There is a groundswell of venture capital interest, philanthropic funding, and policy incentives for achieving breakthroughs in alternative energy and energy storage technologies. However even with all these commitments and momentum, we will still be far above the 1.5 degree warming threshold above which scientists foresee run away climate change impacts. Climate change exacerbates changes in the water cycle and resulting stresses, loss of biodiversity and health of ecosystems—impacting the health and well-being of communities. Natural capital is a framework that attempts to consider of how human activities impact the planet’s ecosystem. Governance Our sustainability governance is informed by our strategic choice to work across both dimensions – business operations and with the larger community. The former is about ensuring that the ecological footprint of our operations is minimized, the organization is compliant with all regulations, and runs its business with integrity. The latter dimension goes beyond the boundaries of the organization and contributes towards development of the larger community. All key organizational stakeholders, right from the board of directors, executive leadership and different functions have defined responsibilities related to planning, execution, review, evangelization, and advocacy of the sustainability charter. Strategic oversight of sustainability programs rests at the corporate level with our Chairman, Board of Directors, and Group Executive Council. The goals and objectives are jointly set with inputs from across functions. The quarterly reviews are attended by the Chairman, Chief HR Officer apart from the Chief Sustainability Officer and Global Head of Operations. We benchmark our performance with our global peers through extensive disclosures as well as a system of rigorous internal and external audits. Board Chair: The Chairman, in collaboration with the Board of Directors and the CEO, oversees Wipro’s sustainability program, which includes climate-related programs, through the ‘Board Governance, Nomination, and Compensation Committee,’ which is chaired by an independent director and is reviewed once a quarter. Here’s an example of a recent climate-related decision: In July 2020, Wipro’s CEO formally signed and joined the ‘Transform to Net Zero’ Initiative as a founding member. The initiative’s goal is to create and distribute research, guidance, and actionable roadmaps to help all organizations reach net zero emissions. Transform to Net Zero will focus on facilitating the corporate transformation required to reach net zero emissions by 2050, as well as pushing larger change via policy, innovation, and financing. Board Level Committee: The Board Governance, Nominations, and Compensation Committee is in charge of putting the CSR policy into action. Three independent directors make up the Committee. Our corporate social responsibility policy addresses ‘Energy and Climate Change’ as part of ecological sustainability and board governance. 76 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
Management approach At Wipro, we have identified energy efficiency and Green House Gases (GHG) mitigation, water efficiency and responsible water management, pollution and waste management, and campus biodiversity as our most material issues and have developed programs around them. Our Ecological Sustainability Policy, available at https:// www.wipro.com/content/dam/nexus/en/sustainability/pdf/ ecological-sustainability-policy.pdf forms the structural framework for our environmental programs and management systems. We have adopted EMS (ISO 14001:2015 standard) for nearly two decades now as one of the cornerstones of our implemented Environmental Management System (EMS). 21 of our campus sites in India and 8 in Australia are certified to ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety) standards. Other campuses have also the same and are assessed as a part of our internal review/audit process. We were one of the early adopters of Green Building Design with 24 of our current buildings across campuses certified to the international LEED standard (Silver, Gold, and Platinum) during commissioning. We strive to maintain the same standards in the maintenance of our facilities. Over the years, we have developed a comprehensive inventory of our GHG emissions across our value chain. Our participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Climate Change Investor and Supply Chain modules for over 15 years has greatly aided in this process. In addition, we apply the Natural Capital Protocol guidelines to arrive at the valuation of our natural capital (NCV) which we publish in our annual Environmental Profit and Loss account. In 2020, we joined the ‘Transform to Net Zero’ coalition as of one of 10 founding members – this cross-sector initiative aims to accelerate the transition to net zero with a goal for the world’s 1,000 largest companies to have net zero targets backed by transformation plans. We are doing this through focused work on enabling transformation by leveraging existing efforts, building accountability, governance and led by science and best practice data and methods. Wipro is actively contributing to the publication of series of transformation guides and participation in its working groups. (https://transformtonetzero.org/) We are part of the advisory groups of CII’s Climate Change Council and the India Climate Collaborative. We also chair the Bengaluru chapter of the CIIGBC Greenco chapter (activities and benefits) Strategic partnerships are key to achieving our goals across the value chain. We work with renewable energy suppliers, energy efficient hardware manufacturers and service providers and other partners who help to reduce our overall GHG footprint including employee commute and business travel footprint. The climate related risks identified are assessed twice a year and included in the annual strategic planning exercise, in which all senior leaders participate; a multiyear planning view is incorporated, and priorities are categorized as short, medium, and long term. Our business continuity policy is used to plan for climate related disruptions which could impact business objectives. The Corporate Business Continuity Team (CBCMT) governs and guides the standard risk assessment methodology at every location and helps identify risks which could potentially impact continuity of business and related financial parameters like revenue & profitability, reputation and legal parameters. This group collaborates with various support groups in the organization to assess risks for human resources, facilities & IT infrastructure with identified impacts, probability/likelihood & controls in place. A severity matrix of Low, Medium, and High impacts is defined, and an identified crisis management group is vested with the responsibility to respond, recover, resume, return and restore from these situations. The detailed climate modelling and impact assessment exercise will help in further calibrating our risk management program. Monitoring and management of climate related issues a cross o rganization: Climate related issues are monitored by our Chief Sustainability Officer and the Head of Global Operations with respect to organization’s progress against energy and emissions targets for short term, medium term and long term. Our climate strategy is aligned with various global principles, for example Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) and is dynamically recalibrated in line with emerging trends. The strategy is reviewed annually by the Chairman, CEO and the Chief Sustainability Officer while progress against the strategy is reviewed quarterly. The Corporate Business Continuity Team (CBCMT) and various other support groups monitor and assesses the risk arising due to climate change. The risks categorized on basis of impact on high, medium and low scale are placed in a severity matrix where controls are implemented. The Crisis Management Group is responsible to respond, recover, resume, return and restore from these situations. Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 77 Capital-wise review
Environmental risks, impacts & assessment The Enterprise Risk Management and Sustainability functions at Wipro jointly oversee environmental and climate change related risk identification and mitigation. The most important criteria considered for climate change risk identification are Planning for Business Continuity (in the case of extreme weather events), Energy and Water Scarcity accelerated by a gradual increase in average temperature and temperature ranges and precipitation variation and Health risks due to changes in temperature and related climate parameters. In 2020, we completed a comprehensive climate change risk assessment program, encompassing both physical and transitional risks, for our major operational locations across the globe, covering India (12 cities), China, Philippines, Germany, Romania, the UK, and the US. This has been carried out for two scenarios (based on the IPCC defined RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5) covering medium to long term (2030-2050) time frames. In both scenarios, we see increased probability of higher incidence of water stress, and heat waves across cities. Below are the list of cities and regions where we see an increase in frequency of climate change risks under RCP 4.5 scenario (increase of global temperatures between 1.1 to 2.6 degree celsius relative to 1986-2005). Other than India, impact to Wipro from physical climate risks is more prominent in: Philippines—cyclones, floods, fluctuating rainfall & humidity China—coastal flooding Romania—floods, droughts US—tropical storms and tornadoes Germany, US, UK, China and Romania—transitional risk Risks identified with the potential to have a substantive financial or strategic impact over the next 5-10 years Regulatory: Mandates and regulation of existing products and services which include an annual increase of 5% in cost of fuel and electricity and RPO (renewable purchase obligations). Chronic physical—Rising mean temperatures can impact health and well being of employees. The financial impact is estimated based on projected number of extreme hot days based on RCP8.5 warming scenario for 12 locations affecting 10% of employees and the resultant revenue loss. Acute physical—Increased severity and frequency of extreme weather events such as cyclones and floods • Potential revenue loss due to increased employee absence from work due to disruption in the city infrastructure is estimated based on impaired inability to attend work for three or more days in the coastal cities of Chennai, Kochi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Vishakapatnam in India • The cost of repair for damages to build infrastructure, electric equipment and disruption in electricity grids would result in increase in use of captive diesel generators in few locations. Impacts identified using three key criteria listed a) People safety: Any climate-related risk that might possibly endanger the safety of 1,000 or more of our personnel at any given time in any area is classified as having a significant financial effect. We have estimated this to be 0.5% of staff in specific cities. b) Wipro infrastructure: Any climate-related risks that might need the relocation of more than 25% of personnel to other sites, as well as a 10% increase in infrastructure costs, are classified as having a substantial financial effect. c) Customer delivery: Any climate-related risk that has the potential to influence our customer engagement by more than 25% of the relationship value is classified as having a substantial financial effect. Furthermore, any mission-critical service should be restored within the time frame agreed upon with clients. Our risk matrix categorises climate-related threats according to (i) impact and (ii) likelihood. The cumulative financial impact of physical risks, regulatory risks and chronic risks over a five year period is estimated to be around 1.5% of expenses. This also accounts for cost of managing risks through increase insurance premia, water recycling and rain water management infrastructure, energy efficiency programs, increased cooling costs and employee relocation costs. We do not need to present a resolution at our AGM because we are not in a carbon-intensive industry and our emissions reduction program does not require any substantial modifications to our company strategy or operations.

Energy efficiency & GHG mitigation Targets We have SBTI (Science Based Targets Initiative) approved Net Zero goals by 2040, one of the first 7 companies globally to participate in the pilot and have their targets formally approved. These are aligned with the objectives of the Paris agreement to limit temperature rise to 1.5 degree Celsius. The following are our interim goals till 2030 By 2030, reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 59% from 2017 baseline and Scope 3 emissions in 3 categories (contributing to 80% of emissions) by 55% from 2020 baseline. In absolute terms, this means a reduction of 280,000 tons of CO2 eq. Source 100% Renewable energy for purchased electricity by 2030 Energy Intensity in terms of EPI (Energy Performance Index) Achieve EPI of 125 KwH per sq. mt by 2025 from baseline of 144 in 2021 and maintain EPI thereafter GHG Emission Intensity (Scope 1 and Scope 2) on Floor Area (FAR) basis Reduction of GHG intensity from 87 KgCo2 eq./ Sq. Mt. (kgpsm) in 2020 to 50 kgpsm of Co2 – eq by 2030 Renewable Energy (RE) Renewable energy procurement to 150 million units by 2030 from the present average procurement of 75 million units Absolute reduction of 55% in Scope 3 emissions for Business Travel, Employee commute and Upstream fuel and energy related emissions by 2030 Our plan to meet the above goals is through a mitigation hierarchy that is primarily focused on emissions reduction activities in the value chain. As a first principle, we will defer carbon removal projects (offsets) to the net zero target year (2040). This is in line with the science-based targets approach of not using offsets for value chain emission. Climate change related impacts We see significant traction in decarbonization and ESG engagements across industry segments which include emission intensive Manufacturing and Heavy industries, Electricity Oil & Gas, Transportation & Logistics and Consumer goods as well as services sectors like Banking Financial Services & Insurance, Health Care and Life Sciences. These offerings draw from Wipro’s expertise in Cloud, Sustainable IT, Sustainable design, Innovation and experience (Designit), Sustainable finance (further enabled though the CAPCO acquisition), Engineering, Cybersecurity and other lines of business to offer the type of unified transformation that clients need to achieve their sustainability and Net Zero goals. We already see nearly 2% of revenue from core sustainability solutions and offerings; if we include our offerings in Cloud transformation, Domain consulting and Enterprise app modernization, the revenue contribution is multi-fold.

Performance against goals Absolute emissions The absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions (India) for FY’21 has decreased by 29% from 137,930 tons to 97,348 tons. This is due to low occupancy and resultant lesser conditioned area (50% reduction) at our offices. The dashboard below provides a summary of our Global and India GHG emissions, including data centers. The figures are net emissions for all years, after considering zero emissions for renewable energy procured. Overall Scope 1 and 2 emissions FY2019-20 FY2020-21 FY2021-22 Offices 135,537 84,140 72,884 Data centers 2,458 13,207 9,660 Emissions intensity Our India office space emissions intensity (Scope 1 and Scope 2) is at 87 KgCo2 eq. per Sq. Mt. per annum, down by 19.8% from FY’21 – for reasons mentioned in under ‘Notes on FY’21 emissions’. We are not publishing people-based emissions intensity for this year due to the low occupancy of office space – and as well as the fact that area-based intensities is considered a more representative metric for buildings globally. Energy consumption The overall energy consumption from Scope 1 and 2 boundaries (operational and financial control) is 645.9 million Mjoules, compared to 661.5 million Mjoules in the previous year, a decrease of 2.35%. The total energy consumption—electricity and diesel-based backup power—for office spaces in India is 149.2 million units; after including the electricity consumption for leased spaces, our global electricity consumption is 189 million units. Data centers in India and Germany contribute another 20.8 million units. For India operations, about 72.4 million units constitute renewable energy procured through independent PPAs (Power Purchase agreements) with private producers. Of these 67.1 million units is with green attributes (zero emissions). Another 13 million units is attributable to renewable resources for our downstream leased spaces. In total, the renewable energy footprint in our portfolio is 80 million units (47%). Office emissions Though the occupancy is low (around 5 to 10% across campuses), the building air conditioning, lighting and allied electrical systems load use would not be proportional. From an assessment of three large campuses representing 35% of total campus area, we see that the conditioned area average was around 50%. Around 70% of the energy consumption for offices is from air conditioning system. Hence, the absolute energy consumption and emissions for buildings is not commensurate with low occupancy. We have also considered 50% of building area for calculating the area intensities. Energy intensity EPI for company-owned office spaces, measured in terms of energy per unit area has decreased to 177.3 KwH units per sq. meter per annum (from previous years 194). Absolute energy consumption for offices has remained flat compared to last year even as we have commissioned new facilities in Bangalore and Hyderabad. Scope 3 emissions Our total scope 3 emissions for FY’22 is 410,203 tons of Co2 eq, which accounts for 83% of our total footprint. Out of the 15 categories of scope 3 reporting as per the new GHG corporate value chain standard, we are currently reporting on all the 8 categories applicable to us. 16,969 Employee Commute 153 Waste 253,955 Purchased goods / services (including capital goods) 71,650 Upstream Fuel+Energy emissions 10,381 Upstream and Downstream Leased Assets 36,639 Work From Home emissions 20,456 Business Travel 410,203 Total All units in tons (CO2 eq.) *Purchased goods and services are based on material group and category spend for Tier 1 suppliers. If we include all tiers, the emissions are estimated to be around 500,000 tons. We aim to engage with top suppliers (contributing to 80% of impact) to arrive at the next level of detail in understanding emissions breakdown and planning mitigating actions. 80 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
Work-from-home emissions—calculation methodology During the reporting year, most of the employees in India and overseas worked from their places of residence. We have estimated the emissions due to WFH scenario for FY’22 and have included in our Scope 3 emissions portfolio. For methodology, please refer our Annual Report FY’21. The total emissions due to WFH globally is estimated at 36,639 tons of Co2 eq, with the US contributing to 39.5% and India contributing to 31%. Though 80% of the employees are based in India, its contribution to emissions is less due to significant lower energy intensity per capita compared to other countries. * Anthesis paper on Estimating Energy Consumption & GHG Emissions for Remote Workers Total emissions The overall GHG emissions across all scopes is 492,747 tons, the main contributors to which are: purchased goods and services (52%), Electricity – purchased and generated (15%), upstream fuel and energy emissions (15%) and work-from-home emissions (7%). GHG mitigation measures Our five-year GHG mitigation plan consists of three key elements – Energy Efficiency (Reduce), Renewable Energy (RE) Purchase (Replace) and Business Travel and Commute Reduction (Reduce and Replace); of this, RE procurement will contribute the maximum, 80% share to GHG emission mitigation strategy for Scope 1 and 2. Energy efficiency Our newer buildings in Bengaluru and Hyderabad are benchmarked against the global best – with an expected EPI of 85 (units per sq meter per annum) at full occupancy. These new buildings also avoid use of UPS batteries and eliminates the environmental impact pertaining to battery manufacturing and disposal. For existing campuses, measures include new retrofit technologies to improve Chiller and Air Handling Units (AHUs), UPS optimization, integrated design, and monitoring platforms. The Global Energy command center aggregates Building Management System (BMS) inputs on a common platform to optimize operational control and improve energy efficiency. Around 15 million square feet across India are connected to the BMS. The operations platform comes with ability to address every element of the system at the equipment level and provides advanced algorithms for analytics to monitor performance. Any deviation is tracked and rectified with in-house / OEM support. Key equipment AMC contracts are tied to outcomes in terms of energy efficiency and availability of the system. We have started a program for adoption of ISO50001 Energy management system across our campuses. Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 81 Capital-wise review
Server rationalization and virtualization program: Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) provides highcapacity scalable infrastructure with on demand provisioning, high availability and high-performance Computing environment. We have enabled 9,333 VDI’s to end users across locations. Out of these 8,500 VDI’s were migrated from On-Prem to Cloud, resulting in decommissioning of 40 physical servers. Quantum is a large transformation project we undertook impacting 230K+ users, 75 enterprise applications, it was re-inventing the various productivity applications and process to make them future-ready, integrated and provide superior user experience. With the Quantum Program 240+ SAP servers were migrated to Cloud. Across our enterprise productivity applications portfolio, we have 11,486 Virtual Servers running on Cloud and 1,033 physical servers. The decommissioning of 40 VDI servers and 60 SAP servers has resulted in annualized savings of 0.82 million units in reporting year. Thin clients being used in one of our locations, which consumes less energy (80% less) compared to desktop, resulting in savings of 1.2 million units. Procurement We have joined the CDP supply chain program – the first India based company to join the platform. Through the platform we aim to engage with 60 of our top carbon intensive suppliers and encourage measurement and disclosure of their environmental data on the CDP platform for the reporting period of FY’22, RE purchase contributed to approximately 80 million units or 47.3% of our total India energy consumption of which 13 million units are for downstream leased spaces. For details on green procurement in IT hardware and other categories, please see ‘supplier section’. Business travel and employee commute The GHG inventory covers (i) travel by air, bus, train, local conveyance, and hotel stays for the category of business travel and (ii) personal cars two wheelers, public transport and Wipro arranged transport for employee commute. We have seen a 51% increase in business travel footprint from FY’21, due to opening of travel and requirements to meet customers post the critical phases of COVID-19. However, this is still less than a fifth of FY’20 (pre pandemic) We are putting in programs and processes to embed travel optimization and remote work models across key business units. Over the past few years, we have taken steps to facilitate a shift towards improved access to public transport for employees (buses, commuter trains) and carpooling. Our carpooling initiative till FY’20 had over 1 lakh registered users across locations. Our employee commute footprint is nearly the same as last year – due to majority of employees choosing to work remotely. We are the first major Indian business to join EV100, a global initiative by The Climate Group, in our commitment to transition our global fleet to electric vehicles (EVs) by 2030. At present, we have EVs as part of our fleet in few cities – the majority in Bengaluru and Hyderabad. Currently, there are challenges in scaling up due to availability of charging infrastructure, battery capacity and our operational requirements. However, we are confident that we will be able to scale up by collaborating with stakeholders across the EV ecosystem to explore new models and technologies. We also have CNG fleet in 4 cities – in fact this contributes to over 50% of trips traversed; we see this as a lower air polluting transition fuel. Challenges and work in progress Presently, there are regulatory barriers in some states combined with supply-side constraints which constrain acceleration of Renewable Energy share. Increasing our RE footprint from the present 47% to 100% by 2030 will require that we re-assess the ‘Group Captive’ investment option. The Big 3 of our Scope 3 emissions – Air Travel, Employee Commute and Purchased Goods & Services – require different approaches as each one is in different stages of ‘solutions maturity’. Rapid advances in electric mobility, the relatively high usage of public transport and car-pooling by employees pre pandemic have helped reduce our commuting related GHG emissions faster. The pandemic-induced virtual work models have helped reduce our business travel related emissions sharply. While this will ensure that we never go back to pre-pandemic levels of travel, there is likely to be some rebound effect as things normalize. Our Scope 3 goals will require an accelerated reduction of business travel emissions over the next 5 years. Given that sustainable aviation fuel is a few years away in terms of price parity, we plan to push the envelope on brining about behavioural changes on business travel. While we have started engaging with our key suppliers on carbon management, it will be a few cycles before we are able to build maturity and explore mitigation levers jointly. 82 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
Water efficiency and responsible use At Wipro, we view water through inter-related lens of efficiency of use and conservation coupled with our approach of engaging with urban water as a boundaryless issue. Our articulated goals are therefore derived from this approach. Targets Reduce both absolute and area-based intensity consumption of externally procured freshwater for our operations by 50% by the year 2030 with respect to baseline consumption of FY17. Contribute to deeper understanding of systemic challenges of urban water in the major cities in India we operate from. Freshwater recycling and efficiency Freshwater consumption dropped 8.95% from last year to 774 million liters. The recycled water generation was 382.4 million liters, with a recycling ratio of 33%. Due to the low average occupancy (<6%) of our offices due to the pandemic, the per capita consumption of water is not comparable. The freshwater consumption has come down due to the arresting of leakages at three locations and commissioning of STP at one location. We also have consolidated operations by closing three locations. Consequently, the freshwater area intensity at 0.920 KL per square meter has shown a decrease of 15 % compared to the earlier year. We have achieved 50% reduction in absolute freshwater consumption from FY17. Sourcing of water Our water is from four sources – private water (mainly ground water delivered by tanker water suppliers), municipal water, water supplied by industry associations, in-situ ground water and harvested rainwater. The first two sources accounting for nearly 86% of the sourced water. Water purchased from private sources is primarily extracted from ground water. Ground water contributes to nearly 44% of our total freshwater consumption across cities in India. Freshwater use-India offices Freshwater (KL) FY2021-22 774,036 FY2020-21 850,151 FY2019-20 1,621,501 Area intensity FY2021-22 0.920 FY2020-21 1.094 FY2019-20 1.044 38% Private water (mainly Ground water) 55% Municipal and industry bodies 1.4% Rainwater Harvested 5.6% Ground water Our urban/ peri-urban facilities located in three states – Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana, are in water stressed basins. The water supplied by the municipal bodies is sourced primarily from river or lake systems. The table below provides parentage of water sourced from different freshwater sources during the reporting year. Use of recycled water The major use of recycled water is for flushing 47%, landscape 39%, chiller 9.6%. Water treated and discharged to municipal sewers is 4% (from 2 locations PDC and GDC). The majority is from one of our locations in Pune which was converted into a Covid hospital (operational till Dec 2021) and based on the recommendations of the local authorities, treated water from the facility was let to municipal sewage network. Collaborative advocacy on water Our long-term projects on urban water in cities are providing key policy insights and levers for citizen engagement and advocacy on ground water management and its relationships to surface water flows and water bodies like lakes/tanks and wetlands. We bring together hydrogeologists, academia, government, citizen groups for a nuanced understanding of issues catalyzing citizen action on the ground.

Pollution and waste management Pollution of air and water poses one of the most serious threats to community health and societal welfare. Managing these ‘commons’ in an urban context requires business organizations to look beyond its own boundaries and adopt an integrated approach. Targets 100% of organic waste generated from business operations is recycled for effective reuse To ensure by 2025 more than 98% of other categories of waste is recycled as per appropriate national standards with less than 2% reaching landfill (excluding construction and demolition waste) We have consolidated all outputs of the work of the last seven years in Bangalore into an “Urban Waters’ repository covering case studies, guidebooks, and content in other languages. The website continues to get good traction. In 2021, we had 28K new users and 57K page views. In the reporting year, the focus was on catalyzing more on-ground engagements across the city on rainwater harvesting. This included documenting case studies, engaging with BWSSB and working on the national guidelines on RWH. We have also initiated a program with Water Institute in Bangalore University, who along with other engineering collages in the city will help monitor and estimate the ground water (shallow aquifer) potential for city, recommendations for better management and explore integration with utility supply. In early 2020, we started a program with ACWADAM, a leading organization in groundwater- that addresses the incorporation of ground water into Pune’s urban water management and governance through participatory aquifer mapping. City level recharge conducive aquifers have been identified and a program of Managed Aquifer Recharge is being implemented in collaboration with RWA’s and the municipality (PMC/PCMC) in four areas as well as along river stretches. The project is also completing inventory of springs and water tanker supplies and provide ward-level groundwater source mapping and sources This will closely work with citizen groups as well as the municipal authority to build appropriate capacities and catalyze on-ground interventions. In Chennai, through the small grants program we are supporting three community-based interventions on water. A boot camp for 20 selected participants was conducted in the year – leading to the next call for community intervention projects. In Hyderabad, we are putting together a knowledge repository of water in the city – consumption, sources, water bodies, built infrastructure and impacts on water flows. We also aim to support three community intervention projects. One intervention project in a low-income settlement has been completed – and has been well received by the community. Our waste management strategy includes: Regular monitoring of air, water, and noise pollution to ensure they are well within regulatory and industry norms Reducing materials impact on the environment through recycling and reuse Arranging for safe disposal of waste that goes outside our organizational boundaries. To operationalize our strategy, we segregate and monitor waste processing across 13 broad categories and nearly 40 subcategories 84 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
Urban biodiversity The twin primary aims of our campus urban biodiversity program have been to convert our existing campuses to biodiversity zones and to develop them as platforms for wider education and advocacy, both within our organization and outside. Our biodiversity projects integrate multiple benefits of water conservation, ambient temperature reduction, air pollution mitigation and employee engagement. We started our first campus biodiversity program in Bengaluru with the Butterfly Park in 2013. We have integrated various ecosystem and educational aspects in our later projects – Wetland Park in Bengaluru and multi-thematic biodiversity project in Pune, both completed in 2019. We have now started work on a unique 40-acre reserve for endemic species of the Eastern Ghats in Hyderabad. Ex-situ conservation is one of the recommended methods to ensure the preservation of vanishing and threatened species and maintaining genetic diversity. For the reporting year, our safe disposal rate was 97% i.e. 3% of waste was landfilled (excluding construction and demolition debris) Total waste disposed during the year was 2,700 tons – though this is an increase of 612 tons compared to the previous year, it is 15% less compared to FY’20 (pre pandemic). Campus occupancy has increased in the later part of FY’22 from the low base in FY’21 due to the pandemic – resulting in higher organic waste. In addition, some of the categories of waste like electronic waste, batteries and mixed metals generated in the previous year were disposed. Also, some of the campus refurbishment work was undertaken in the year. In the reporting year, we have identified health and safety compliance and labor practices as areas of improvement. We monitor diesel generator stack emissions (NOX, SOX, and SPM), indoor air quality (CO, Co2, VOC’s, RSPM), treated water quality and ambient noise levels across 25 key locations every month. All of these meet the specified regulatory norms. The summary of our performance on solid waste management (SWM) is as follows: 80% of organic waste is recycled in house and the balance sent as animal feed outside the campus 100% of the inorganic waste is recycled through approved partners Biomedical and hazardous waste is incinerated as per approved methods. All our E-waste is currently recycled by approved vendors. 75% of the total mixed solid waste and scrap is currently recycled and the rest sent to landfills, which is an improvement from 52% in the year before. Our target is to improve this to 80% next year. Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 85 Capital-wise review
Collaborative advocacy on sustainability We are actively engaged in several forums that advance advocacy on climate change and other related environmental impacts. Examples include the ‘Transform to Net Zero Coalition’, Forum for the Future’s Responsible Energy Initiative, World Economic Forum’s Climate Change working group, ‘Business for Nature’ coalition, India Climate Collaborative and ‘CII Greenco’. A specific city-level initiative we convened is the ‘Bengaluru Sustainability Forum’. Bengaluru Sustainability Forum (BSF) The platform for urban sustainability deliberations and programs convened by Wipro has completed its 4th year and has gained good traction in seeding meaningful conversations and programs. The program is housed at the National Center for Biological Sciences and anchored by a steering committee drawn from ATREE, NCBS, BIOME, Wipro, Science Gallery, NIAS and Azim Premji University. Till date, we have completed four rounds of collaborative small grants – we have supported 29 projects out of which 11 are completed. We continue to work and explore collaborative opportunities with other organizations and programs in the city – the last in the year being the “Women and Environment Film Festival” from the Bangalore Film Society. Wipro’s Natural Capital Valuation Program Natural capital valuation is a rigorous framework that assesses and quantifies impacts—positive and negative —on nature or natural capital on account of a company’s operations and value chain. Natural Capital Impacts are calculated across six key performance indicators (KPIs) namely, GHG emissions, air pollution, water consumption, water and land pollution, waste generation and land use change. The methodology uses a value for the social cost of carbon that varies by country and geography – typically, it uses a higher discount rate for developing countries as compared to developed countries, given that the former need more ‘ecological space’ and time to fulfill their developmental imperatives. A note on the methodology: For calculating impacts due to air pollution only human health impacts were considered as they contribute to 95% of total impact from air pollution. Land use valuation was based on net change in economic value due to loss of ecosystem service and was calculated only for the electricity procured from the grid mix, since for the direct operations, land use change is not considered to be material. For calculating impact due to water consumption, the following factors were taken into consideration – impact on human health, incidence of infectious disease and impact of energy consumption. In FY’22, the total environmental costs related to Wipro’s operations and supply chain were quantified at $0.277 billion ($0.20 billion in FY’21 and $0.23 billion in FY’20), of which operational and supply chain impacts contribute 6% ($16.3 million) and 94% ($260 million) respectively. One of the main reasons for the increase is inclusion of work-from-home emissions in this year’s valuation and increase in number of employees contributing to the same. Of the operational impacts, the highest contribution is from electricity consumption at 79% ($12.9 million). Within Wipro’s upstream supply chain, purchased goods and services across all tiers of suppliers (82%; $214 million) and fuel and energy related activities (13%; $34 million) are the top two impact categories. In terms of the sources of impact, air pollution (58%; $161 million), greenhouse gas emissions (25%; $78 million) are the top two contributors. 86 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized

Material Changes and Commitments Affecting the Business Operations and Financial Position of the Company Despite the COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacting trade, supply chains, business models, employment and consumer behaviors, economies and industries are witnessing a strong yet imbalanced recovery. The pandemic has rapidly accelerated digital transformation for many organizations and has led to the adoption of digital business models driven by online customer service, remote working, supply chain reinventions, and automation for operational excellence. Owing to the accelerated rates of vaccination, it’s effectiveness, and the reduction in mobility restrictions, most economies are expected to reach its pre-pandemic levels. The consumption demand has improved; however, the recovery is uneven due to factors like imbalanced labor market, global supply chain disruptions, geo-political conflicts, inflation, and the dearth of talent. There is no direct impact on business from the ongoing geo-political conflict between Russia and Ukraine, however, your Company continues to monitor these developments. The continuous increase in demand for skilled talent has been building pressure on IT services providers amidst a significant increase in hiring, salary hikes and higher subcontracting costs. Additional information regarding your Company’s business operations and financial position are provided as part of the MD & A Report from page no. 28 onwards. Outlook Global IT service providers offer a range of end-to-end software development, digital services, IT business solutions, research and development services, technology infrastructure services, business process services, consulting, and related support functions. Various industries across the world have struggled to adapt to the extraordinary circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. With increased consumer spending, the IT industry recorded its highest year-on-year growth ever. This disruption has created space to drive innovation in services and products such as telehealth, online shopping experience enhanced with augmented reality (“AR”)/ virtual reality (“VR”), digital payments, and virtual learning solutions. While the IT industry is witnessing an unprecedented demand, supply remains constrained and talent recruitment and retention continues to be a key concern along with current geo-political situation and rising inflation.

WIPRO’S PHILOSOPHY ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Wipro’s Corporate Governance philosophy flows from the “Spirit of Wipro” that represents the core values by which policies and practices of the organization are guided. The Spirit of Wipro and our core values have remained constant, though our Company has transformed many times over the years. In addition, our Chairman introduced the Five Habits essential to drive a Growth Mindset in early 2020, which are our values in action. The values encapsulated in the “Spirit of Wipro” and “Five Habits” are: Corporate Governance Report So far, over 29,000 employees globally have been part of 94 immersive and interactive sessions hosted by our senior leadership team on the Five Habits. Wipro’s governance framework is driven by the objective of enhancing long term stakeholder value without compromising on ethical standards and corporate social responsibilities. We also strive to ensure balance between our aims and minority rights in all our business decisions. Efficient corporate governance requires a clear understanding of the respective roles of the Board and of senior management and their relationships with others in the corporate structure. Sincerity, fairness, good citizenship, and commitment to compliance are key characteristics that drive relationships of the Board and senior management with other stakeholders. The Company is in compliance with the requirements stipulated under Regulation 17 to 27 read with Schedule V and Regulation 46 of the Listing Regulations, as applicable, with regard to corporate governance. Being a foreign private issuer for the purposes of American Depository Shares, we are permitted to follow home country practice in lieu of the provisions of Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, except that we are required to comply with the requirements of Sections 303A.06, 303A.11 and 303A.12(b) and (c) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. With regard to Section 303A.11 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, although the Company’s required home country standards on corporate governance may differ from the NYSE listing standards, the Company’s actual corporate governance policies and practices are generally in compliance with the NYSE listing standards applicable to domestic companies. Corporate governance at Wipro is implemented through robust board governance processes, internal control systems and processes, and strong audit mechanisms. These are articulated through the Company’s Code of Business Conduct, Corporate Governance Guidelines, and charters of various Committees of the Board and the Company’s Disclosure Policy. Wipro’s corporate governance practices can be described through the following four layers: a) Governance by Shareholders b) Governance by Board of Directors c) Governance by Committees of Board d) Governance through management process In this report, we have provided details on how the corporate governance principles are put into practice within Wipro.
Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 117 Statutory Reports and Financial Statements II. SHAREHOLDERS The Companies Act, 2013, the Listing Regulations and NYSE Listed Company Manual prescribes the governance mechanism by shareholders in terms of passing of ordinary and special resolutions, voting rights, participation in the corporate actions such as bonus issue, buyback of shares, declaration of dividend, etc. Your Company follows a robust process to ensure that the shareholders of the Company are well informed of Board decisions both on financial and non-financial matters and adequate notice with a detailed explanation is sent to the shareholders well in advance to obtain necessary approvals. The Company seeks approval of shareholder’s on various resolutions at the Annual General Meeting held every year.

Composition of Board As of March 31, 2022, our Board had two Executive Directors, six Non-Executive Independent Directors and one Non-Executive Non-Independent Director. The Executive Chairman and Whole-Time Director, and the Non-Executive Non-Independent Director are Promoter Directors. The Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Managing Director is a professional CEO who is responsible for the day to day operations of the Company. Of the seven Non-Executive Directors, six are Independent Directors, free from any business or other relationship that could materially influence their judgment. In the opinion of the Board, all the Independent Directors are independent of the management and satisfy the criteria of independence as defined under the Companies Act, 2013, the Listing Regulations and the NYSE Listed Company manual. The Board is well diversified and consists of two women Independent Directors and five Directors who are foreign nationals. The profiles of our Directors are available on our website at https://www.wipro.com/leadership. 2. Board Meetings The Board meeting dates are decided in consultation with the Board members. The schedule of the Board meetings and Board Committee meetings are communicated in advance to the Directors to enable them to attend the meetings. The Board meetings are normally scheduled over two days. In addition, every quarter, Independent Directors meet amongst themselves exclusively. In line with Para 4 of Schedule B of SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, it is the endeavor of the Company that the gap between the clearance of accounts by audit committee and board meeting is as narrow as possible, and Wipro is committed to adhere to this requirement. 3. Information flow to the Board Members Information is provided to the Board Members on a continuous basis for their review, inputs, and approval from time to time. More specifically, we present our annual strategic plan and operating plan of our business to the Board for their review, inputs, and approval. Likewise, our quarterly financial statements and annual financial statements are first presented to the Audit Committee and subsequently to the Board for their approval. In addition, various matters such as appointment of Directors and Key Managerial Personnel, corporate actions, review of internal and statutory audits, details of investor grievances, specific cases of acquisitions, important managerial decisions, material positive/negative developments, risk management initiatives including cyber security along with mitigation actions and legal/statutory matters are presented to the respective Committees of the Board and later with the recommendation of Committees to the Board of Directors for their approval as may be required. As a system, in most cases, information to Directors is submitted along with the agenda papers well in advance of the Board meeting. Inputs and feedback of Board Members are taken and considered while preparing agenda and documents for the Board meeting. Sufficient time is allocated for discussions and deliberations at the meeting. Documents containing Unpublished Price Sensitive Information are submitted to the Board and Committee Members, at a shorter notice, as per the general consent taken from the Board, from time to time. Post the Board meeting, we have a formal system for follow-up, review and reporting on actions taken by the management on the decisions of the Board and Committees of the Board. 4.

138 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS Independent Auditor’s Report To The Members of Wipro Limited Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Wipro Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2022, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (herein after referred to as “the Standalone Financial Statements”). In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Standalone Financial Statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended (“Ind AS”) and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2022, and its profit, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act (“SA”s). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. Revenue from fixed price contracts using the percentage of completion method—Refer Notes 2 (iii)(a), 3(xiii)B and 22 to the financial statements Key Audit Matter Description Revenue from fixed price contracts, including software development, and integration contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time, is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Company to determine the project costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated project costs at completion. The estimation of total project costs involves significant judgement and is assessed throughout the period of the contract to reflect any changes based on the latest available information. In addition, provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the total estimated project costs. We identified the revenue recognition for fixed price contracts where the percentage-of-completion method is used as a key audit matter because of the significant judgement involved in estimating the efforts to complete such contracts. This estimate has a high inherent uncertainty and requires consideration of progress of the contract, efforts incurred todate and estimates of efforts required to complete the remaining performance obligations. This required a high degree of auditor judgment in evaluating the audit evidence supporting estimated efforts to complete and a higher extent of audit effort to evaluate the reasonableness of the total estimated efforts used to recognise revenue from fixed price contracts. How the Key Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to estimates of efforts to complete for fixed price contracts accounted using the percentage-ofcompletion method included the following, among others: • We tested the effectiveness of controls relating to (1) recording of efforts incurred and estimation of efforts required to complete the remaining performance obligations, and (2) access and application controls pertaining to time recording and allocation systems, which prevents unauthorised changes to recording of efforts incurred. • We evaluated management’s ability to reasonably estimate the progress towards satisfying the performance obligation by comparing actual information to estimates for performance obligations that have been fulfilled.
Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 139 Statutory Reports and Financial Statements Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS • We selected a sample of fixed price contracts with customers accounted using percentage-of-completion method and performed the following: • Read the contract and based on the terms and conditions evaluated whether recognizing revenue over time using percentage of completion method was appropriate, and the contract was included in management’s calculation of revenue over time. • Evaluated the appropriateness of and consistency in the application of management’s policies and methodologies to estimate progress towards satisfying the performance obligation. • Compared efforts incurred to date with Company’s estimate of efforts incurred to date to identify significant variations and evaluate whether those variations have been considered appropriately in estimating the remaining efforts to complete the contract. • Tested the estimate for consistency with the status of delivery of milestones and customer acceptances to identify possible delays in achieving milestones, which require changes in estimated efforts to complete the remaining performance obligations. • Evaluated other information that supported the estimates of the progress towards satisfying the performance obligation. Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon • The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s report, Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report and Corporate Governance Report, but does not include the Consolidated Financial Statements, Standalone Financial Statements and our auditor’s report thereon. • Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. • In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone Financial Statements, or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. • If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Management’s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Standalone Financial Statements. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial
140 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management. • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Standalone Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements 1.

142 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS ANNEXURE “A” TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (Referred to in paragraph (f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report to the Members of Wipro Limited of even date) Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Wipro Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2022 in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on that date. Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls The Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“the ICAI”). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) issued by the ICAI and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting. Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Opinion In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2022, based on, the criteria for internal control over financial reporting established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the ICAI.

(B) The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars of intangible assets. (b) The Company has a program of physical verification of Property, Plant and Equipment and right-of-use assets so to cover all the assets once every three years which, in our opinion, is reasonable having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its assets. Pursuant to the program, certain Property, Plant and Equipment and rightof- use assets were due for verification during the year and were physically verified by the Management during the year. According to the information and explanations given to us, no material discrepancies were noticed on such verification. (c) Based on the examination of the sale deed / transfer deed / conveyance deed / the property tax receipts and lease agreement for land on which building is constructed provided to us, we report that, the title deeds, of all immovable properties (other than properties where the company is the lessee and the lease agreements are duly executed in favour of the lessee), disclosed in the financial statements included under Property, Plant and Equipment are held in the name of the Company as at the balance sheet date except for a freehold land with a carrying amount of ` 404 million, for which the title deed has not been executed in the name of the Company pending fulfilment of certain conditions. (d) The Company has not revalued any of its Property, Plant and Equipment (including right-of-use assets) and intangible assets during the year.

(ii) (a) The inventories were physically verified during the year by the Management at reasonable intervals. The coverage and procedure of such verification by the Management is appropriate having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its operations.

(b) The Company has not been sanctioned working capital limits in excess of ` 5 crores, in aggregate, at any point of time during the year, from banks or financial institutions on the basis of security of current assets. Hence, reporting on the quarterly returns or statements filed by the Company with such banks or financial institutions is not applicable.

Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS 1. The Company overview Wipro Limited (“Wipro” or “Company” or “we” or “our” or “us”), is a global information technology (“IT”), consulting and business process services (“BPS”) company. Wipro is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India. The address of its registered office is Wipro Limited, Doddakannelli, Sarjapur Road, Bengaluru – 560 035, Karnataka, India. The Company has its primary listing with BSE Ltd. and National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. The Company’s American Depository Shares (“ADS”) representing equity shares are also listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company’s Board of Directors authorised these standalone financial statements for issue on June 8, 2022. 2. Basis of preparation of standalone financial statements (i) Statement of compliance and basis of preparation The standalone financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”), the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Companies Act”), as applicable and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”). The Ind AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and amendments issued thereafter. Accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these standalone financial statements, except for the adoption of new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations effective from April 1, 2022. The standalone financial statements correspond to the classification provisions contained in Ind AS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements”. For clarity, various items are aggregated in the statement of profit and loss and balance sheet. These items are disaggregated separately in the notes to the standalone financial statements, where applicable. All amounts included in the standalone financial statements are reported in millions of Indian rupees (` in millions) except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated. Due to rounding off, the numbers presented throughout the document may not add up precisely to the totals and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures. Previous year figures have been regrouped/rearranged, wherever necessary. (ii) Basis of measurement The standalone financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost convention and on an accrual basis, except for the following material items, which have been measured at fair value as required by relevant Ind AS: a) Derivative financial instruments, b) Financial instruments classified as fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss, c) The defined benefit liability/(asset) is recognised as the present value of defined benefit obligation less fair value of plan assets, and d) Contingent consideration. (iii) Use of estimates and judgment The preparation of these standalone financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the management to make judgments, accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Accounting estimates are monetary amounts in the standalone financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. An accounting policy may require items in standalone financial statements to be measured at monetary amounts that cannot be observed directly and must instead be estimated. In such a case, management develops an accounting estimate to achieve the objective set out by the accounting policy. Developing accounting estimates involves the use of judgements or assumptions based on the latest available and reliable information. Actual results may differ from those accounting estimates. Accounting estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Changes to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are changed and in any future periods affected. In particular, information about material areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the material effect on the amounts recognised in the standalone financial statements are included in the following notes: a) Revenue recognition: The Company applies judgement to determine whether each product or service promised to a customer is capable of being distinct, and is distinct in the context of the contract, if not, the promised product or service is combined and accounted as a single performance obligation. The Company allocates the arrangement consideration to separately identifiable performance obligation deliverables based on their relative standalone selling price. In cases where the Company is unable to determine the standalone selling price the Company uses expected cost-plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. The Company uses the percentage of completion method using the input (cost expended) method to measure progress towards completion in respect of fixed price contracts. Percentage of completion method accounting relies on estimates of total expected contract revenue and costs. This method is followed when reasonably dependable estimates of the revenues and costs applicable to various elements of the contract can be made. Key factors that are reviewed in estimating the future costs to complete include estimates of future (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 155 Statutory Reports and Financial Statements 155
Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS labor costs and productivity efficiencies. Because the financial reporting of these contracts depends on estimates that are assessed continually during the term of these contracts, revenue recognised, profit and timing of revenue for remaining performance obligations are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. When estimates indicate that a loss will be incurred, the loss is provided for in the period in which the loss becomes probable. Volume discounts are recorded as a reduction of revenue. When the amount of discount varies with the levels of revenue, volume discount is recorded based on estimate of future revenue from the customer. b) Impairment testing: Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life recognised on business combination are tested for impairment at least annually and when events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that the recoverable amount of an asset or a cash generating unit to which an asset pertains is less than the carrying value. The Company assesses acquired intangible assets with finite useful life for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash generating unit is higher of value in use and fair value less cost of disposal. The calculation of value in use of an asset or a cash generating unit involves use of significant estimates and assumptions which include turnover, growth rates and net margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rate, future economic and market conditions. c) Income taxes: The major tax jurisdictions for the Company are India and the United States of America. Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes including judgment on whether tax positions are probable of being sustained in tax assessments. A tax assessment can involve complex issues, which can only be resolved over extended time periods. Deferred tax is recorded on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts, at the rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The ultimate realisation of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable profits during the periods in which those temporary differences and tax loss carry-forwards become deductible. The Company considers expected reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realisable, however, could reduce in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry-forward period are reduced. d) Business combinations: In accounting for business combinations, judgment is required to assess whether an identifiable intangible asset is to be recorded separately from goodwill. Additionally, estimating the acquisition date fair value of the identifiable assets acquired (including useful life estimates), liabilities assumed, and contingent consideration assumed involves management judgment. These measurements are based on information available at the acquisition date and are based on expectations and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management. Changes in these judgments, estimates, and assumptions can materially affect the results of operations. e) Defined benefit plans and compensated absences: The cost of the defined benefit plans, compensated absences and the present value of the defined benefit obligations are based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. f) Expected credit losses on financial assets: The impairment provisions of financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected timing of collection. The Company uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the expected credit loss calculation based on the Company’s history of collections, customer’s creditworthiness, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. g) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment: The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived based on an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology. The estimated useful life is reviewed at least annually. h) Useful lives of intangible assets: The Company amortises intangible assets on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful life is estimated based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors such as the stability of the industry and known technological advances and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the assets. The estimated useful life is reviewed at least annually. i) Provisions and contingent liabilities: The Company estimates the provisions that have present obligations as a result of past events, and it is probable that outflow (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements 156 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized 156
Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS of resources will be required to settle the obligations. These provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. The Company uses significant judgement to disclose contingent liabilities. Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements. j) Uncertainty relating to the global health pandemic on COVID-19: In assessing the recoverability of receivables including unbilled receivables, contract assets and contract costs, goodwill, intangible assets, and certain investments, the Company has considered internal and external information up to the date of approval of these standalone financial statements including credit reports and economic forecasts. Based on the current indicators of future economic conditions, the Company expects to recover the carrying amount of these assets. The Company bases its assessment on the belief that the probability of occurrence of forecasted transactions is not impacted by COVID-19. The Company has considered the effect of changes, if any, in both counterparty credit risk and its own credit risk while assessing hedge effectiveness and measuring hedge ineffectiveness and continues to believe that COVID-19 has no impact on effectiveness of its hedges. The impact of COVID-19 may be different from what we have estimated as of the date of approval of these standalone financial statements and the Company will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions. 3. Material accounting policy information (i) Functional and presentation currency These standalone financial statements are presented in Indian rupees, which is the functional currency of the Company. (ii) Foreign currency transactions and translation Transactions in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from translation at the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of profit and loss and reported within foreign exchange gains/(losses), net, within results of operating activities except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges. Net loss relating to translation or settlement of borrowings denominated in foreign currency are reported within finance costs. Net gain relating to translation or settlement of borrowings denominated in foreign currency are reported within Other income. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of transaction. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets measured at fair value at the reporting date, such as equities classified as financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are included in other comprehensive income, net of taxes. (iii) Financial instruments a) Non-derivative financial instruments: Non-derivative financial instruments consist of: • financial assets, which include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, unbilled receivables, finance lease receivables, employee and other advances, investments in equity and debt securities and eligible current and non-current assets; Financial assets are derecognised when substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been transferred. In cases where substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are neither transferred nor retained, financial assets are derecognised only when the Company has not retained control over the financial asset. • financial liabilities, which include long and shortterm loans and borrowings, bank overdrafts, trade payables, lease liabilities, and eligible current and non-current liabilities. Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below: A. Cash and cash equivalents The Company’s cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and in banks and demand deposits with banks, which can be withdrawn at any time, without prior notice or penalty on the principal. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, in banks and demand deposits with banks, net of outstanding bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and are considered part of the Company’s cash management system. In the balance sheet, bank overdrafts are presented under borrowings within current liabilities.

Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS B. Investments Financial instruments measured at amortised cost: Debt instruments that meet the following criteria are measured at amortised cost (except for debt instruments that are designated at fair value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) on initial recognition): • the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and • the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payment of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI): Debt instruments that meet the following criteria are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) (except for debt instruments that are designated at fair value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) on initial recognition): • the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial asset; and • the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payment of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Interest income is recognised in statement of profit and loss for FVTOCI debt instruments. Other changes in fair value of FVTOCI financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income. When the investment is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in reserves is transferred to statement of profit and loss. Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL): Instruments that do not meet the amortised cost or FVTOCI criteria are measured at FVTPL. Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on re-measurement recognised in statement of profit and loss. The gain or loss on disposal is recognised in statement of profit and loss. Interest income is recognised in statement of profit and loss for FVTPL debt instruments. Dividend on financial assets at FVTPL is recognised when the Company’s right to receive dividend is established. Investments in equity instruments: The Company carries certain equity instruments which are not held for trading. At initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument in other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or through statement of profit and loss (FVTPL). For investments designated to be classified as FVTOCI, movements in fair value of investments are recognised in other comprehensive income and the gain or loss is not transferred to statement of profit and loss on disposal of investments. For investments designated to be classified as FVTPL, both movements in fair value of investments and gain or loss on disposal of investments are recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Dividends from these investments are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the Company’s right to receive dividends is established. Investments in subsidiaries: Investment in equity instruments of subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment. Investment in redeemable preference shares of subsidiaries are measured at FVTPL. These investments are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on re-measurement recognised in statement of profit and loss. The gain or loss on disposal is recognised in statement of profit and loss. C. Other financial assets: Other financial assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are presented as current assets, except for those maturing later than 12 months after the reporting date which are presented as non-current assets. These are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. These comprise trade receivables, unbilled receivables, finance lease receivables, employee and other advances and other eligible current and non-current assets. D. Trade payables and other liabilities Trade payables other liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. For these financial instruments, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Contingent consideration recognised in a business combination is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. b) Derivative financial instruments The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency assets, liabilities, net investment in foreign operations and forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currency. The Company limits the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by following established risk management (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements 158 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized 158
Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS policies including the use of derivatives. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments where the counterparty is primarily a bank. Derivatives are recognised and measured at fair value. Attributable transaction costs are recognised in statement of profit and loss as cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial instruments are measured as described below: A. Cash flow hedges Changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instruments designated as a cash flow hedge are recognised in other comprehensive income and held in cash flow hedging reserve, net of taxes, a component of equity, to the extent that the hedge is effective. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, changes in fair value are recognised in the statement of profit and loss and reported within foreign exchange gains/(losses), net, within results from operating activities. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in cash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the statement of profit and loss upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, such cumulative balance is immediately recognised in the statement of profit and loss. B. Others Changes in fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges are recognised in the statement of profit and loss and reported within foreign exchange gains/(losses), net, within results from operating activities. Changes in fair value and gains/(losses), net, on settlement of foreign currency derivative instruments relating to borrowings, which have not been designated as hedges are recorded in finance costs. c) Derecognition of financial instruments The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and recognises a borrowing for the proceeds received. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognised from the Company’s balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. (iv) Equity and share capital a) Share capital and securities premium The authorised share capital of the Company as at March 31, 2022 is ` 25,274 divided into 12,504,500,000 equity shares of ` 2 each, 25,000,000 preference shares of ` 10 each and 150,000, 10% optionally convertible cumulative preference shares of ` 100 each. Par value of the equity shares is recorded as share capital and the amount received in excess of par value is classified as securities premium. Every holder of the equity shares, as reflected in the records of the Company as at the date of the shareholder meeting shall have one vote in respect of each share held for all matters submitted to vote in the shareholder meeting. b) Capital Reserve Capital Reserve amounting to ` 1,139 (March 31, 2021: ` 1,139) is not freely available for distribution. c) Capital Redemption Reserve As per the Companies Act, 2013, Capital redemption reserve is created when a company purchases its own shares out of free reserves or securities premium. A sum equal to the nominal value of the shares so purchased is transferred to capital redemption reserve. The reserve can be utilised in accordance with the provisions of Section 69 of the Companies Act, 2013. As of March, 2022, Capital redemption reserve amounting to ` 1,135 (March 31, 2021: ` 1,135) is not freely available for distribution d) Retained earnings Retained earnings comprises of the Company’s undistributed earnings after taxes. e) Common Control Transactions Capital Reserve The Common Control Transactions Capital Reserve is on account of merger of certain wholly owned subsidiaries with the Company during the year ended March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2022, this reserve amounting to ` 2,473 (March 31, 2021: ` 2,473) is not freely available for distribution. f) Share options outstanding account The Share options outstanding account is used to record the value of equity-settled share-based payment transactions with employees. The amounts recorded in share options outstanding account are transferred to securities premium upon exercise of stock options and restricted stock unit options by employees. g) Special Economic Zone Re-investment reserve The Special Economic Zone Re-investment Reserve has been created out of profit of eligible Special Economic Zone units as per provisions of Section 10AA (1)(ii) of the Income–tax Act, 1961 for acquiring new plant and machinery. The reserve should be utilised by the Company for acquiring plant and machinery as per the (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 159 Statutory Reports and Financial Statements 159
Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS terms of Section 10AA(2) of the Income-tax Act, 1961. This reserve is not freely available for distribution. h) Others Changes in the fair value of financial instruments (debt or equity) measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income, net of taxes and presented within investment in debt instruments measured at fair value through OCI or investment in equity instruments measured at fair value through OCI. Actuarial gains and losses on remeasurements of the defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income, net of taxes and presented within equity in remeasurement of the defined benefit plans. i) Cash flow hedging reserve Changes in fair value of derivative hedging instruments designated and effective as a cash flow hedge are recognised in other comprehensive income, net of taxes, and presented within equity as cash flow hedging reserve. j) Foreign currency translation reserve (FCTR) The exchange differences arising from the translation of financial statements of foreign operations with functional currency other than Indian rupees is recognised in other comprehensive income, net of taxes and is presented within equity in the FCTR. k) Dividend A final dividend on common stock is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders. An interim dividend is recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the board of directors. l) Buyback of equity shares The buyback of equity shares, including tax thereon and related transaction costs are recorded as a reduction of free reserves. Further, capital redemption reserve is created as an apportionment from retained earnings. m) Bonus issue For the purpose of bonus issue, the amount is transferred from capital redemption reserves, securities premium and retained earnings to the share capital. (v) Property, plant and equipment a) Recognition and measurement Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost includes expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost. Capital work-in-progress are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. b) Depreciation The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment over the estimated useful life on a straightline basis from the date the assets are available for use. Leasehold improvements are amortised over the shorter of estimated useful life of the asset or the related lease term. Term licenses are amortised over their respective contract term. Freehold land is not depreciated. The estimated useful life of assets is reviewed and where appropriate are adjusted, annually. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows: Category Useful life Buildings 28 to 40 years Plant and equipment 5 to 21 years Computer equipment and software 2 to 7 years Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3 to 10 years Vehicles 4 to 5 years When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Deposits and advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding as at each reporting date is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets and the cost of property, plant and equipment not available for use before such date are disclosed under capital work-in-progress. (vi) Business combinations, Goodwill and Intangible assets a) Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase (acquisition) method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued at the date of exchange by the Company. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at fair value at the date of acquisition. Transaction costs incurred in connection with a business acquisition are expensed as incurred. The cost of an acquisition also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration measured as at the date of acquisition. Any subsequent changes to the fair value of contingent consideration classified as liabilities, other than measurement period adjustments, are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS Common Control business combinations The Company accounts for business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control using the pooling of interests method. The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts. The identity of the reserves shall be preserved and shall appear in the financial statements of the transferee in the same form in which they appeared in the financial statements of the transferor. The difference, if any, between the amount recorded as share capital issued plus any additional consideration in the form of cash or other assets and the amount of share capital of the transferor shall be transferred to capital reserve and should be presented separately as Common Control Transactions Capital reserve. b) Goodwill The excess of the cost of an acquisition over the Company’s share in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities is recognised as goodwill. If the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised in equity as capital reserve. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment (if any). Goodwill associated with disposal of an operation that is part of cash-generating unit is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained, unless some other method better reflects the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of. c) Intangible assets Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost of acquisition. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The amortisation of an intangible asset with a finite useful life reflects the manner in which the economic benefit is expected to be generated. The estimated useful life of amortisable intangibles is reviewed and where appropriate is adjusted, annually. The estimated useful lives of the amortisable intangible assets are as follows: Category Useful life Customer-related intangibles 5 to 10 years Marketing-related intangibles 7 years (vii) Leases The Company as a lessee The Company enters into an arrangement for lease of land, buildings, plant and equipment including computer equipment and vehicles. Such arrangements are generally for a fixed period but may have extension or termination options. The Company assesses, whether the contract is, or contains, a lease, at its inception. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to: a) control use of an identified asset, b) obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the identified asset, and c) direct the use of the identified asset The Company determines the lease term as the noncancellable period of a lease, together with periods covered by an option to extend the lease, where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option. The Company at the commencement of the lease contract recognises a Right of Use (“RoU”) asset at cost and corresponding lease liability, except for leases with term of less than twelve months (short-term leases) and lowvalue assets. For these short-term and low value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The cost of the RoU assets comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the inception date of the lease, plus any initial direct costs, less any lease incentives received. Subsequently, the RoU assets are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The RoU assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of RoU assets. The estimated useful lives of RoU assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. The Company applies Ind AS 36 to determine whether a RoU asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in the impairment of nonfinancial assets below. For lease liabilities at the commencement of the lease, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determined, if that rate is not readily determined, the lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate that the Company would have to pay to borrow funds, including the consideration of factors such as the nature of the asset and location, collateral, market terms and conditions, as applicable in a similar economic environment. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. The Company recognises the amount of the remeasurement of lease liability as an adjustment to the RoU assets. Where the carrying amount of the RoU asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in statement of profit and loss.

Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS Payment of Lease liabilities are classified as cash used in financing activities in the statement of cash flows. The Company as a lessor Leases under which the Company is a lessor are classified as a finance or operating lease. Lease contracts where all the risks and rewards are substantially transferred to the lessee are classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating lease. For leases under which the Company is an intermediate lessor, the Company accounts for the head-lease and the sub-lease as two separate contracts. The sub-lease is further classified either as a finance lease or an operating lease by reference to the RoU asset arising from the headlease. (viii) Inventories Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value, including necessary provision for obsolescence. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. (ix) Impairment A) Financial assets The Company applies the expected credit loss model for recognising impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortised cost, debt instruments classified as FVTOCI, trade receivables, unbilled receivables, contract assets, finance lease receivables and other financial assets. Expected credit loss is the difference between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows that the entity expects to receive discounted using the effective interest rate. Loss allowances for trade receivables, unbilled receivables, contract assets and finance lease receivables are measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss. Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. Lifetime expected credit loss is computed based on a provision matrix which takes in to account, risk profiling of customers and historical credit loss experience adjusted for forward looking information. For other financial assets, expected credit loss is measured at the amount equal to twelve months expected credit loss unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition, in which case those are measured at lifetime expected credit loss. B) Impairment of Investment in subsidiaries The Company assesses investments in subsidiaries for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the investment in subsidiary. The recoverable amount of such investment is the higher of its fair value less cost of disposal (“FVLCD”) and its value-in-use (“VIU”). The VIU of the investment is calculated using projected future cash flows. If the recoverable amount of the investment is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. C) Non-financial assets The Company assesses long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment, RoU assets and acquired intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset or group of assets. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually at the same time and when events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying value. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the level of cash generating unit or groups of cash generating units which represents the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is the higher of its fair value less cost of disposal (“FVLCD”) and its value-in-use (“VIU”). The VIU of longlived assets is calculated using projected future cash flows. FVLCD of a cash generating unit is computed using turnover and earnings multiples. If the recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. If at the reporting date, there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the impairment losses previously recognised are reversed such that the asset is recognised at its recoverable amount but not exceeding written down value which would have been reported if the impairment losses had not been recognised initially. An impairment in respect of goodwill is not reversed. (x) Employee benefits a) Post-employment plans The Company participates in various employee benefit plans. Pensions and other post-employment benefits are classified as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. Under a defined contribution plan, the Company’s sole obligation is to pay a fixed amount with no obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits. The related actuarial and investment risks are borne by the employee. The expenditure for (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements 162 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized 162
Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS defined contribution plans is recognised as an expense during the period when the employee provides service. Under a defined benefit plan, it is the Company’s obligation to provide agreed benefits to the employees. The related actuarial and investment risks are borne by the Company. The present value of the defined benefit obligations is calculated by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. Re-measurements of the defined benefit plans, comprising actuarial gains or losses, and the return on plan assets (excluding interest) are immediately recognised in other comprehensive income, net of taxes and not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent period. Net interest recognised in profit or loss is calculated by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The actual return on the plan assets above or below the discount rate is recognised as part of re-measurements of the defined benefit plans through other comprehensive income, net of taxes. The Company has the following employee benefit plans: A. Provident fund Eligible employees receive benefits under the provident fund plan in which both the employer and employees make periodic contributions to the approved provident fund trust managed by the Company. A portion of the employer’s contribution is made to the government administered pension fund. The contributions to the trust managed by the Company is accounted for as a defined benefit plan as the Company is liable for any shortfall in the fund assets based on the government specified minimum rates of return. Certain employees receive benefits under the provident fund plan in which both the employer and employees make periodic contributions to the government administered provident fund. A portion of the employer’s contribution is made to the government administered pension fund. This is accounted as a defined contribution plan as the obligation of the Company is limited to the contributions made to the fund. B. Gratuity and foreign pension In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, applicable for Indian companies, the Company provides for a lump sum payment to eligible employees, at retirement or termination of employment based on the last drawn salary and years of employment with the Company. The gratuity fund is managed by the third-party fund managers. The Company also maintains pension and similar plans for employees outside India, based on country specific regulations. These plans are partially funded, and the funds are managed by third party fund managers. The plans provide for monthly payout after retirement as per salary drawn and service period or for a lump sum payment as set out in rules of each fund. The Company’s obligations in respect of the above plans, which are defined benefit plans, are provided for based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. C. Superannuation Superannuation plan, a defined contribution scheme is administered by third party fund managers. The Company makes annual contributions based on a specified percentage of each eligible employee’s salary. b) Termination benefits Termination benefits are expensed when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits. c) Short-term benefits Short-term employee benefit obligations such as cash bonus, management incentive plans or profit sharing plans are measured on an undiscounted basis and are recorded as expense as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus, management incentive plans or profit-sharing plans, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably. d) Compensated absences The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated absences. The employees can carry forward a portion of the unutilised accumulating compensated absences and utilise it in future periods or receive cash at retirement or termination of employment. The Company records an obligation for compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement. The Company measures the expected cost of compensated absences as the additional amount that the Company expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the end of the reporting period. The Company recognises accumulated compensated absences based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Non-accumulating compensated absences are recognised in the period in which the absences occur. (xi) Share-based payment transactions Selected employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of equity settled instruments or cash settled instruments, for rendering services over a defined vesting period and for Company’s performancebased stock options over the defined period. Equity instruments granted are measured by reference to the fair value of the instrument at the date of grant. In cases, (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 163 Statutory Reports and Financial Statements 163
Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS where equity instruments are granted at a nominal exercise price, the intrinsic value on the date of grant approximates the fair value. The expense is recognised in the statement of profit and loss with a corresponding increase to the share options outstanding account, a component of equity. The equity instruments or cash settled instruments generally vest in a graded manner over the vesting period. The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed over the vesting period of the respective tranches of such grants (accelerated amortisation). The stock compensation expense is determined based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments or cash settled instruments that will eventually vest. Cash Settled instruments granted are re-measured by reference to the fair value at the end of each reporting period and at the time of vesting. The expense is recognised in the statement of profit and loss with a corresponding increase to the financial liability. (xii) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive), as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset, if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. Provisions for onerous contracts are recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. Provisions for onerous contracts are measured at the present value of lower of the expected net cost of fulfilling the contract and the expected cost of terminating the contract. (xiii) Revenue The Company derives revenue primarily from software development, maintenance of software/hardware and related services, business process services, sale of IT and other products. Revenues from customer contracts are considered for recognition and measurement when the contract has been approved by the parties to the contract, the parties to contract are committed to perform their respective obligations under the contract, and the contract is legally enforceable. Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. To recognise revenues, the Company applies the following five step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognise revenues when a performance obligation is satisfied. When there is uncertainty as to collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved. At contract inception, the Company assesses its promise to transfer products or services to a customer to identify separate performance obligations. The Company applies judgement to determine whether each product or service promised to a customer is capable of being distinct, and are distinct in the context of the contract, if not, the promised products or services are combined and accounted as a single performance obligation. The Company allocates the arrangement consideration to separately identifiable performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling price or residual method. Standalone selling prices are determined based on sale prices for the components when it is regularly sold separately, in cases where the Company is unable to determine the standalone selling price the Company uses third-party prices for similar deliverables or the Company uses expected cost-plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. For performance obligations where control is transferred over time, revenues are recognised by measuring progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the promised products or services to be provided. The method for recognising revenues and costs depends on the nature of the services rendered: A. Time and materials contracts Revenues and costs relating to time and materials contracts are recognised as the related services are rendered. B. Fixed-price contracts i) Fixed-price development contracts Revenues from fixed-price development contracts, including software development, and integration contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time, are recognised using the “percentage-of-completion” method. The performance obligations are satisfied as and when the services are rendered since the customer generally obtains control of the work as it progresses. Percentage of completion is determined based on project costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated project costs required to complete the project. (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements 164 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized 164
Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS The cost expended (or input) method has been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. If the Company is not able to reasonably measure the progress of completion, revenue is recognised only to the extent of costs incurred for which recoverability is probable. When total cost estimates exceed revenues in an arrangement, the estimated losses are recognised in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates as an onerous contract provision. A contract asset is a right to consideration that is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time. Contract assets primarily relate to unbilled amounts on fixed-price development contracts and are classified as non-financial asset as the contractual right to consideration is dependent on completion of contractual milestones. A contract liability is an entity’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the entity has received consideration (or the amount is due) from the customer. Unbilled receivables on other than fixed price development contracts are classified as a financial asset where the right to consideration is unconditional and only the passage of time is required before the payment is due. ii) Maintenance contracts Revenues related to fixed-price maintenance contracts are recognised on a straight-line basis when services are performed through an indefinite number of repetitive acts over a specified period or ratably using percentage of completion method when the pattern of benefits from the services rendered to the customers and the cost to fulfil the contract is not even through the period of contract because the services are generally discrete in nature and not repetitive. Revenue for contracts in which the invoicing is representative of the value being delivered is recognised based on our right to invoice. If our invoicing is not consistent with value delivered, revenues are recognised as the service is performed using the percentage of completion method. In certain projects, a fixed quantum of service or output units is agreed at a fixed price for a fixed term. In such contracts, revenue is recognised with respect to the actual output achieved till date as a percentage of total contractual output. Any residual service unutilised by the customer is recognised as revenue on completion of the term. iii) Element or Volume based contracts Revenues and costs are recognised as the related services are rendered. C. Products Revenue on product sales are recognised when the customer obtains control of the specified product. D. Others—Any change in scope or price is considered as a contract modification. The Company accounts for modifications to existing contracts by assessing whether the services added are distinct and whether the pricing is at the standalone selling price. Services added that are not distinct are accounted for on a cumulative catch up basis, while those that are distinct are accounted for prospectively, either as a separate contract if the additional services are priced at the standalone selling price, or as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract if not priced at the standalone selling price.—The Company accounts for variable considerations like, volume discounts, rebates, pricing incentives to customers and penalties as reduction of revenue on a systematic and rational basis over the period of the contract. The Company estimates an amount of such variable consideration using expected value method or the single most likely amount in a range of possible consideration depending on which method better predicts the amount of consideration to which the Company may be entitled and when it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.—Revenues are shown net of allowances/returns, sales tax, value added tax, goods and services tax and applicable discounts and allowances.—The Company accrues the estimated cost of warranties at the time when the revenue is recognised. The accruals are based on the Company’s historical experience of material usage and service delivery costs.—Incremental costs that relate directly to a contract and incurred in securing a contract with a customer are recognised as an asset when the Company expects to recover these costs and amortised over the contract term.—The Company recognises contract fulfilment cost as an asset if those costs specifically relate to a contract or to an anticipated contract, the costs generate or enhance resources that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in future; and the costs are expected to be recovered. The asset so recognised is amortised on a systematic basis (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 165 Statutory Reports and Financial Statements 165
Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS consistent with the transfer of goods or services to customer to which the asset relates.—The Company assesses the timing of the transfer of goods or services to the customer as compared to the timing of payments to determine whether a significant financing component exists. As a practical expedient, the Company does not assess the existence of a significant financing component when the difference between payment and transfer of deliverables is a year or less. If the difference in timing arises for reasons other than the provision of finance to either the customer or us, no financing component is deemed to exist.—The Company may enter into arrangements with third party suppliers to resell products or services. In such cases, the Company evaluates whether the Company is the principal (i.e. report revenues on a gross basis) or agent (i.e. report revenues on a net basis). In doing so, the Company first evaluates whether the Company controls the good or service before it is transferred to the customer. If Company controls the good or service before it is transferred to the customer, Company is the principal; if not, the Company is the agent.—Estimates of transaction price and total costs or efforts are continuously monitored over the term of the contract and are recognised in net profit in the period when these estimates change or when the estimates are revised. Revenues and the estimated total costs or efforts are subject to revision as the contract progresses. (xiv) Finance costs Finance costs comprises interest cost on borrowings, lease liabilities and net defined benefit liability, gains or losses arising on re-measurement of financial assets measured at FVTPL, net loss on translation or settlement of foreign currency borrowings and changes in fair value and gains/(losses) on settlement of related derivative instruments. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to a qualifying asset are recognised in the statement of profit and loss using the effective interest method. (xv) Finance and other income Finance and other income comprises interest income on deposits, dividend income, gains/(losses) on disposal of investments and net gain on translation or settlement of foreign currency borrowings. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established. (xvi) Income tax Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent it relates to a business combination, or items directly recognised in equity or in other comprehensive income. a) Current income tax Current income tax for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the taxable income for the period. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the current tax amounts are those that are enacted or substantively enacted as at the reporting date and applicable for the period. While determining the tax provisions, the Company assesses whether each uncertain tax position is to be considered separately or together with one or more uncertain tax positions depending upon the nature and circumstances of each uncertain tax position. The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and liability simultaneously. b) Deferred income tax Deferred income tax is recognised using the balance sheet approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognised for deductible and taxable temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in these standalone financial statements, except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profits or loss at the time of the transaction. Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except in respect of taxable temporary differences that is expected to reverse within the tax holiday period, taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and foreign branches where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements 166 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized 166
Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The Company offsets deferred income tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and they relate to taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity, or on different taxable entities where there is a right and an intention to settle the current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. (xvii) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period adjusted for treasury shares held. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of equity and dilutive equivalent shares outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method for options, except where the results would be anti-dilutive. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any splits and bonus shares issues including for change effected prior to the approval of the standalone financial statements by the Board of Directors. (xviii) Statement of cash flows Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated. (xix) Assets held for sale Sale of business is classified as held for sale, if their carrying amount is intended to be recovered principally through sale rather than through continuing use. The condition for classification as held for sale is met when disposal business is available for immediate sale and the same is highly probable of being completed within one year from the date of classification as held for sale. (xx) Discontinued operations A discontinued operation is a component of the Company’s business that represents a separate line of business that has been disposed of or is held for sale, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale. (xxi) Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale Assets and liabilities of disposal groups that are available for immediate sale and where the sale is highly probable of being completed within one year from the date of classification are considered and classified as assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale. Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. (xxii) Disposal of assets The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of assets is recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss. New Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the Company effective from April 1, 2021: Amendment to Ind AS 116 – COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions The economic challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic have persisted longer than anticipated, and therefore the practical expedient relating to rent concessions arising as a consequence of COVID-19 has been modified. Accordingly, lessees are now exempted from assessing whether a COVID-19-related rent concession is a lease modification, if the reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before June 30, 2022. Earlier the practical expedient was allowed only for lease payments originally due on or before June 30, 2021. The adoption of these amendments did not have any material impact on the standalone statement of profit and loss for the year ended March 31, 2022. Amendment to Ind AS 104, Ind AS 107, Ind AS 109 and Ind AS 116—Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 This amendment relates to ‘Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 (Amendments to Ind AS 104, Ind AS 107, Ind AS 109 and Ind AS 116)’ which addresses issues that might affect financial reporting after the reform of an interest rate benchmark, including its replacement with alternative benchmark rates. Some of the key amendments arising from the interest rate benchmark are: Ind AS 109: New guidance has been included on changes in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows as a result of interest rate benchmark reform. Ind AS 107: Additional disclosures related (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 167 Statutory Reports and Financial Statements 167
Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS to nature and extent of risks to which the entity is exposed from financial instruments subject to interest rate benchmark reform and how the entity manages these risks. The adoption of these amendments did not have any material impact on the standalone financial statements. Amendments to Ind AS consequential to Conceptual Framework under Ind AS The amendments relating to Ind AS 102, Share-based Payment; Ind AS 103, Business Combinations; Ind AS 106, Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources; Ind AS 114, Regulatory Deferral Accounts; Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements; Ind AS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors; Ind AS 34, Interim Financial Reporting; Ind AS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets; Ind AS 38, Intangible Assets, are consequential due to changes in the Conceptual Framework under Ind AS, made in August 2020. The revised Conceptual Framework introduced some new concepts and clarifications along with revision in definitions and changes in recognition criteria of assets and liabilities under Ind AS. The adoption of these amendments did not have any material impact on the standalone financial statements. Amendment to Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013 On March 24, 2021, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) through a notification, amended Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013. The amendments relating to Division II which relate to companies whose financial statements are required to comply with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 include, among other things, requirement for disclosure of Current maturities of long-term borrowings separately within borrowings instead of earlier disclosure requirement under Other Financial Liabilities. Accordingly, ` 99 towards current maturities of long-term loans has been reclassified from “Other current financial liabilities” to “Current Borrowings” for the year ended March 31, 2021(Refer to Note 15). Other amendments in the notification applicable for full annual financial statements have been adopted by the Company by providing applicable disclosures in the financial statements for the year ending March 31, 2022. New Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted by the Company: Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2022 Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 23, 2022, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2022, applicable for annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2022, as below: Amendments to Ind AS 103 – Business Combinations – Reference to Conceptual Framework The amendments specifies that to qualify for recognition as part of applying the acquisition method, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed must meet the definitions of assets and liabilities in the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting under Indian Accounting Standards (Conceptual Framework) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India at the acquisition date. These changes do not significantly change the requirements of Ind AS 103. The adoption of amendments to Ind AS 103 is not expected to have any material impact on the standalone financial statements. Amendments to Ind AS 109 – Financial Instruments The amendments clarifies which fees an entity includes when it applies the ‘10 percent’ test of Ind AS 109 in assessing whether to derecognize a financial liability. The adoption of amendments to Ind AS 109 is not expected to have any material impact on the standalone financial statements. Amendments to Ind AS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment – Proceeds before intended use The amendments clarifies that excess of net sale proceeds of items produced over the cost of testing, if any, shall not be recognised in the profit or loss but deducted from the directly attributable costs considered as part of cost of an item of property, plant, and equipment. The adoption of amendments to Ind AS 16 is not expected to have any material impact on the standalone financial statements. Amendments to Ind AS 37 – Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract The amendments specifies that the cost of fulfilling a contract comprises the costs that relate directly to the contract. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (for example, direct labour and materials); or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts (for example, an allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling that contract among others). The adoption of amendments to Ind AS 37 is not expected to have any material impact on the standalone financial statements.

The fair value of net assets acquired is ` (3) and goodwill is ` 33. Goodwill was allocated to IT Services segment and it is not deductible for Income Tax purposes in India. The Company is organised by three operating segments: IT Services, IT Products and India State Run Enterprises services. Goodwill as at March 31, 2022 and 2021 has been allocated to the IT Services operating segment. Goodwill recognised on business combinations is allocated to Cash Generating Units (CGUs), within the IT Services operating segment, which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisitions. CGUs As at March 31, 2022 As at March 31, 2021 Americas 1 ` 7 `—Americas 2 3,802 3,782 Europe 5—Asia Pacific Middle East Africa 790 789 Total ` 4,604 ` 4,571 For impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to a CGU representing the lowest level within the Company at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, and which is not higher than the Company’s operating segment. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the Company’s procedure for determining the recoverable value of each CGU. The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on FVLCD. The FVLCD of the CGU is determined based on the market capitalisation approach, using the turnover and earnings multiples derived from observable market data. The fair value measurement is categorised as a level 2 fair value based on the inputs in the valuation techniques used. Based on the above testing, no impairment was identified as at March 31, 2022 and 2021 as the recoverable value of the CGUs exceeded the carrying value. A sensitivity analysis to the change in the key parameters (turnover and earnings multiples), did not identify any probable scenarios where the CGU’s recoverable amount would fall below its carrying amount.

Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS Offsetting financial assets and liabilities The following table contains information on other financial assets and trade payables and other payables subject to offsetting: As at March 31, 2022 As at March 31, 2021 Financial Assets: Gross amounts of recognised other financial assets ` 178,388 ` 115,361 Gross amounts of recognised financial liabilities set off in the balance sheet (7,688) (6,341) Net amounts of recognised other financial assets presented in the balance sheet ` 170,700 ` 109,020 Financial liabilities Gross amounts of recognised trade payables and other payables ` 108,255 ` 69,759 Gross amounts of recognised financial liabilities set off in the balance sheet (7,688) (6,341) Net amounts of recognised trade payables and other payables presented in the balance sheet ` 100,567 ` 63,418 For the financial assets and liabilities subject to offsetting or similar arrangements, each agreement between the Company and the counterparty allows for net settlement of the relevant financial assets and liabilities when both elect to settle on a net basis. In the absence of such an election, financial assets and liabilities will be settled on a gross basis and hence are not offset. Fair value Financial assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, unbilled receivables, finance lease receivables, employee and other advances, eligible current and non-current assets, borrowings, trade payables, and eligible current liabilities and non-current liabilities. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, unbilled receivables, finance lease receivables, borrowings and bank overdrafts, trade payables and accrued expenses, other current financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amount largely due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s long-term debt has been contracted at market rates of interest. Accordingly, the carrying value of such long-term debt approximates fair value. Further, finance lease receivables are periodically evaluated based on individual credit worthiness of customers. Based on this evaluation, the Company records allowance for estimated losses on these receivables. As at March 31, 2022, and 2021 the carrying value of such receivables, net of allowances approximates the fair value. Investments in short-term mutual funds and fixed maturity plans, which are classified as FVTPL are measured using net asset values at the reporting date multiplied by the quantity held. Fair value of investments in non-convertible debentures, government securities, commercial papers, certificate of deposit and bonds classified as FVTOCI is determined based on the indicative quotes of price and yields prevailing in the market at the reporting date. Fair value of investments in equity instruments classified as FVTOCI or FVTPL is determined using market multiples method. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined based on observable market inputs including currency spot and forward rates, yield curves, currency volatility etc. Fair value hierarchy The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows: Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Level 3 – Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Derivative instruments (assets and liabilities): The Company enters derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, primarily banks with investment grade credit ratings. Derivatives valued using valuation techniques with market observable inputs are mainly interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign exchange option contracts. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing, swap models and Black Scholes models (for option valuation), using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, interest rate curves and forward rate curves of the underlying. As at March 31, 2022, the changes in counterparty credit risk had no material effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedge relationships and other financial instruments recognised at fair value. Investment in non-convertible debentures, government securities, commercial papers, certificate of deposits and bonds: Fair value of these instruments is derived based on the indicative quotes of price and yields prevailing in the market as at reporting date. Investment in equity instruments and Fixed maturity plan mutual funds: Fair value of these instruments is derived based on the indicative quotes of price prevailing in the market as at reporting date. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the level 3 financial instruments included in the above table. Investment in equity instruments: Fair value of these instruments is determined using market multiples method.

As at March 31, 2022 and 2021 there were no significant gains or losses on derivative transactions or portions thereof that have become ineffective as hedges or associated with an underlying exposure that did not occur. Sale of financial assets From time to time, in the normal course of business, the Company transfers accounts receivables, unbilled receivables, net investment in finance lease receivables (financial assets) to banks. Under the terms of the arrangements, the Company surrenders control over the financial assets and transfer is without recourse. Accordingly, such transfers are recorded as sale (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 189 Statutory Reports and Financial Statements 189
Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS of financial assets. Gains and losses on sale of financial assets without recourse are recorded at the time of sale based on the carrying value of the financial assets and fair value of servicing liability. The incremental impact of such transactions on our cash flow and liquidity for the year ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 is not material. In certain cases, transfer of financial assets may be with recourse. Under arrangements with recourse, the Company is obligated to repurchase the uncollected financial assets, subject to limits specified in the agreement with the banks. These are reflected as part of borrowings in the balance sheet. Financial risk management Market Risk Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, to fair values or to future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments, foreign currency receivables, payables and loans and borrowings. The Company’s exposure to market risk is a function of investment and borrowing activities and revenue generating activities in foreign currency. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure of the Company’s earnings and equity to losses. Risk Management Procedures The Company manages market risk through a corporate treasury department, which evaluates and exercises independent control over the entire process of market risk management. The corporate treasury department recommends risk management objectives and policies, which are approved by senior management and Audit Committee. The activities of this department include management of cash resources, implementing hedging strategies for foreign currency exposures, borrowing strategies, and ensuring compliance with market risk limits and policies. Foreign currency risk The Company operates internationally, and a major portion of its business is transacted in several currencies. Consequently, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through receiving payment for sales and services in the United States of America and elsewhere and making purchases from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies. The exchange rate risk primarily arises from foreign exchange revenue, receivables, cash balances, forecasted cash flows, payables and foreign currency loans and borrowings. A significant portion of the Company’s revenue is in the US Dollar, the Pound Sterling, the Euro, the Canadian Dollar and the Australian Dollar, while a large portion of costs are in Indian rupees. The exchange rate between the rupee and these currencies has fluctuated significantly in recent years and may continue to fluctuate in the future. Appreciation of the rupee against these currencies can adversely affect the Company’s results of operations. The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from these transactions and enters foreign currency derivative instruments to mitigate such exposure. The Company follows established risk management policies, including the use of derivatives like foreign exchange forward/option contracts to hedge forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currency. The Company has designated certain derivative instruments as cash flow hedges to mitigate the foreign exchange exposure of forecasted highly probable cash flows. As at March 31, 2022, a ` 1 increase in the spot exchange rate of the Indian rupee with the US dollar would result in approximately ` 3,159 (statement of profit and loss ` 1,366 and other comprehensive income ` 1,793) decrease in the fair value, and a ` 1 decrease would result in approximately ` 3,165 (statement of profit and loss ` 1,366 and other comprehensive income ` 1,799) increase in the fair value of foreign currency dollar denominated derivative instruments (forward and option contracts).

Interest rate risk Interest rate risk primarily arises from floating rate borrowing, including various revolving and other lines of credit. The Company’s investments are primarily in short-term investments, which do not expose it to significant interest rate risk. From time to time, the Company manages its net exposure to interest rate risk relating to borrowings by entering into interest rate swap agreements, which allows it to exchange periodic payments based on a notional amount and agreed upon fixed and floating interest rates. Certain borrowings are also transacted at fixed interest rates. If interest rates were to increase by 100 bps as on March 31, 2022, additional net annual interest expense on floating rate borrowing would amount to approximately ` 767. Credit risk Credit risk arises from the possibility that customers may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the credit rating and financial reliability of customers, considering the financial condition, current economic trends, forward looking macroeconomic information, analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable as at March 31, 2022 and 2021, and revenues for the year ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. There is no significant concentration of credit risk.

Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS Counterparty risk Counterparty risk encompasses issuer risk on marketable securities, settlement risk on derivative and money market contracts and credit risk on cash and time deposits. Issuer risk is minimised by only buying securities which are at least AA rated in India based on Indian rating agencies. Settlement and credit risk is reduced by the policy of entering into transactions with counterparties that are usually banks or financial institutions with acceptable credit ratings. Exposure to these risks are closely monitored and maintained within predetermined parameters. There are limits on credit exposure to any financial institution. The limits are regularly assessed and determined based upon credit analysis including financial statements and capital adequacy ratio reviews. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. The Company’s corporate treasury department is responsible for liquidity and funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company’s net liquidity position through rolling forecasts based on the expected cash flows. As at March 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents are held with major banks and financial institutions.

Other than these, the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities is primarily recorded in the statement of profit and loss. In assessing the realisability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers the extent to which it is probable that the deferred tax asset will be realised. The ultimate realisation of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable profits during the periods in which those temporary differences and tax loss carry-forwards become deductible. The Company considers the expected reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on this, the Company believes that it is probable that the Company will realise the benefits of these deductible differences. The amount of deferred tax asset considered realisable, however, could be reduced in the near term if the estimates of future taxable income during the carry-forward period are reduced. The Company has recognised deferred tax assets of ` 1,169 and ` 548 as at March 31, 2022 and 2021 primarily in respect of capital loss incurred on account of liquidation of an investment. Management’s projections of future taxable capital gain support the assumption that it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to utilise this deferred tax asset. We have calculated our domestic tax liability under normal provisions. Accordingly, no deferred tax asset has been recognised towards MAT in the balance sheet for the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The effective MAT rate is 17.47%. The excess tax paid under MAT provisions over and above normal tax liability can be carried forward for a period of fifteen years and set-off against future tax liabilities computed under normal tax provisions. A substantial portion of the profits of the Company’s India operations are exempt from Indian income taxes being profits attributable to export operations and profits from units established under Special Economic Zone Act, 2005 scheme. Units in designated special economic zones providing service on or after April 1, 2005 will be eligible for a deduction of 100 percent of profits or gains derived from the export of services for the first five years from commencement of provision of services and 50 percent of such profits and gains for a further five years. Certain tax benefits are also available for a further five years. 50% tax deduction is available for a further five years subject to the unit meeting certain defined conditions. Profits from certain other undertakings are also eligible for preferential tax treatment. New SEZ units set up on or after April 1, 2021 are not eligible for aforesaid deduction. The tax holiday period being currently available to the Company expires in various years through fiscal 2034-35. The impact of tax holidays has resulted in a decrease of current tax expense of ` 16,483 and ` 11,458 for the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, compared to the effective tax amounts that we estimate we would have been required to pay if these incentives had not been available. The per share effect of these tax incentives for the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was ` 2.95 and ` 2.03, respectively. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with US branch profit tax where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, deferred income tax liabilities on branch profit tax @ 15% of the US branch profits have not been recognised. Further, it is not practicable to estimate the amount of the unrecognised deferred tax liabilities for these undistributed earnings.

Contract Assets and Liabilities The Company classifies its right to consideration in exchange for deliverables as either a receivable or a contract asset. A receivable is a right to consideration that is unconditional. A right to consideration is unconditional if only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. For example, the Company recognises a receivable for revenues related to time and materials contracts or volume-based contracts. The Company presents such receivables as part of unbilled receivables at their net estimated realisable value. The same is tested for impairment as per the guidance in Ind AS 109 using expected credit loss method. Contract assets: During the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, ` 9,978 and ` 11,451 of contract assets pertaining to fixed-price development contracts have been reclassified to receivables on completion of milestones. Contract liabilities: During the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognised revenue of ` 15,150 and ` 11,978 arising from contract liabilities as at March 31, 2021 and 2020 respectively. Contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. B. Remaining Performance Obligations Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognised, which includes contract liabilities and amounts that will be invoiced and recognised as revenue in future periods. Applying the practical expedient, the Company has not disclosed its right to consideration from customers in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date, which are contracts invoiced on time and material basis and volume based. As at March 31, 2022 and 2021, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations, other than those meeting the exclusion criteria above, were ` 171,136 and ` 224,746, respectively of which approximately 70% and 71%, respectively is expected to be recognised as revenues within two years, and the remainder thereafter. This includes contracts, with a substantive enforceable termination penalty if the contract is terminated without cause by the customer, based on an overall assessment of the contract carried out at the time of inception. Historically, customers have not terminated contracts without cause. C.

Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS The principal assumptions used for the purpose of actuarial valuation of these defined benefit plans are as follows: As at March 31, 2022 As at March 31, 2021 Discount rate 5.54% 5.31% Expected return on plan assets 5.54% 5.31% Expected rate of salary increase 7.52% 7.41% Duration of defined benefit obligations 5 years 7 years The expected return on plan assets is based on expectation of the average long-term rate of return expected on investments of the fund during the estimated term of the obligations. The discount rate is primarily based on the prevailing market yields of Indian government securities for the estimated term of the obligations. The estimates of future salary increase considered takes into account the inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors. Attrition rate considered is the management’s estimate, based on previous years’ employee turnover of the Company. The expected future contribution and estimated future benefit payments from the fund are as follows: Expected contribution to the fund during the year ending March 31, 2023 ` 1,311 Estimated benefit payments from the fund for the year ending March 31: 2023 ` 2,260 2024 1,651 2025 1,651 2026 1,651 2027 1,651 Thereafter 8,424 Total ` 17,288 The expected benefits are based on the same assumptions used to measure the Company’s benefit obligations as at March 31, 2022. Sensitivity for significant actuarial assumptions is computed to show the movement in defined benefit obligation by 1 percentage. As at March 31, 2022, every 1 percentage point increase / (decrease) in discount rate will result in (decrease) / increase of gratuity benefit obligation by approximately ` (730) and ` 634, respectively. As at March 31, 2022 every 1 percentage point increase / (decrease) in expected rate of salary will result in increase / (decrease) of gratuity benefit obligation by approximately ` 558 and ` (536), respectively. The sensitivity analysis to significant actuarial assumptions may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligations as the change in assumptions may not occur in isolation since some of the assumptions may be correlated. Furthermore, in presenting the sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligations has been calculated using the Projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the statement of financial position. c) Provident fund: The details of fund and plan assets are given below: As at March 31, 2022 As at March 31, 2021 Fair value of plan assets ` 76,573 ` 71,196 Present value of defined benefit obligation 76,573 71,196 Net shortfall `—`— The total expense for the year ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 is ` 3,578 and ` 2,833 respectively.

Earnings per equity share A reconciliation of profit for the year and equity shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per equity share is set out below: Basic: Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year, excluding equity shares purchased by the Company and held as treasury shares. Year ended March 31, 2022 Year ended March 31, 2021 Profit attributable to equity holders of the Company ` 121,353 ` 100,609 Weighted average number of equity shares outstanding 5,466,705,840 5,649,265,885 Basic earnings per share ` 22.20 ` 17.81 Diluted: Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year for assumed conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Employee share options are dilutive potential equity shares for the Company.

Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS The calculation is performed in respect of share options to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average market price of the Company’s shares during the year). The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options. Year ended March 31, 2022 Year ended March 31, 2021 Profit attributable to equity holders of the Company ` 121,353 ` 100,609 Weighted average number of equity shares outstanding 5,466,705,840 5,649,265,885 Effect of dilutive equivalent share options 15,377,598 12,391,937 Weighted average number of equity shares for diluted earnings per share 5,482,083,438 5,661,657,822 Diluted earnings per share ` 22.14 ` 17.77 29. Dividends and Buyback of equity shares The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian rupees. According to the Companies Act, 2013 any dividend should be declared out of accumulated distributable profits. A Company may, before the declaration of any dividend, transfer a percentage of its profits for that financial year as it may consider appropriate to the reserves. The cash dividends paid per equity share were ` 1 and ` 1, during the year ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, including an interim dividend of ` 1 and ` 1 for the year ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Board of Directors in their meeting held on March 25, 2022, declared an interim dividend of ` 5/- (US$ 0.07) per equity share and ADR (250% on an equity share of par value of ` 2/-). Consequently, the Company has recorded a liability of ` 27,410 as at March 31, 2022 and this has been paid subsequently on April 19, 2022. During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company concluded the buyback of 237,500,000 equity shares as approved by the Board of Directors on October 13, 2020. This has resulted in a total cash outflow of ` 116,445 (including tax on buyback of ` 21,445). In line with the requirement of the Companies Act 2013, an amount of ` 1,427 and ` 115,018 has been utilised from securities premium and retained earnings respectively. Further, capital redemption reserve of ` 475 (representing the nominal value of the shares bought back) has been created as an apportionment from retained earnings. Consequent to such buyback, the paid-up equity share capital has reduced by ` 475. 30. Additional capital disclosures The key objective of the Company’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a stable capital structure with the focus on total equity to uphold investor, creditor, and customer confidence and to ensure future development of its business. The Company’s focus is on keeping a strong total equity base to ensure independence, security, as well as a high financial flexibility for potential future borrowings, if required without impacting the risk profile of the Company. The Company’s goal is to continue to be able to return excess liquidity to shareholders by continuing to distribute annual dividends in future periods. The amount of future dividends / buyback of equity shares will be balanced with efforts to continue to maintain an adequate liquidity status. The capital structure as of March 31, 2022 and 2021 was as follows: As at March 31, 2022 As at March 31, 2021 % Change Total equity (A) ` 543,507 ` 452,416 20.13% As percentage of total capital 86.06% 86.73% Current borrowings ` 76,734 ` 58,011 Non-current borrowings 57 141 Lease Liabilities 11,250 11,094 Total borrowings and lease liabilities (B) ` 88,041 ` 69,246 27.14% As percentage of total capital 13.94% 13.27% Total capital (A) + (B) ` 631,548 ` 521,662 21.06% (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 201 Statutory Reports and Financial Statements 341113-001 27Jun22 13:03 Page 205

Standalone Financial Statement under Ind AS 34. Commitments and contingencies Capital commitments: As at March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 the Company had committed to spend approximately ` 10,502 and ` 6,949, respectively, under agreements to purchase/construct property and equipment. These amounts are net of capital advances paid in respect of these purchases. Contingent liabilities to the extent not provided for: As at March 31, 2022 As at March 31, 2021 Guarantees given by the banks on behalf of the Company ` 12,536 ` 13,032 Guarantees given by the Company on behalf of subsidiaries 59,677 9 Contingencies and lawsuits: The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims resulting from tax assessment orders/penalty notices issued under the Income Tax Act, 1961, which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. Some of the claims involve complex issues and it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the expected financial effect, if any, that will result from ultimate resolution of such proceedings. However, the resolution of these legal proceedings is not likely to have a material and adverse effect on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company. The Company’s assessments are completed for the years up to March 31, 2018. The Company has received demands on multiple tax issues. These claims are primarily arising out of denial of deduction under Section 10A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 in respect of profit earned by the Company’s undertaking in Software Technology Park at Bengaluru, the appeals filed against the said demand before the Appellate authorities have been allowed in favor of the Company by the second appellate authority for the years up to March 31, 2008 which either has been or may be contested by the Income tax authorities before the Supreme Court of India. Other claims relate to disallowance of tax benefits on profits earned from Software Technology Park and Special Economic Zone units, capitalisation of research and development expenses, transfer pricing adjustments on intercompany/interunit transactions and other issues. Income tax claims against the Company amounting to ` 92,388 and ` 80,032 are not acknowledged as debt as at March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. These matters are pending before various Appellate Authorities and the management expects its position will likely be upheld on ultimate resolution and will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The contingent liability in respect of disputed demands for excise duty, custom duty, sales tax and other matters amounting to ` 12,092 and ` 11,413 as of March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. However, the resolution of these disputed demands is not likely to have a material and adverse effect on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company. The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, through a ruling in February 2019, provided interpretation on the components of Salary on which the Company and its employees are to contribute towards Provident Fund under the Employee’s Provident Fund Act. Based on the current evaluation, the Company believes it is not probable that certain components of Salary paid by the Company will be subject to contribution towards Provident Fund due to the Supreme Court order. The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate its position based on future events and developments. 35. Corporate social responsibility a. Gross amount required to be spent by the Company is ` 1,832 and ` 1,656 for the year ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. b.

The nature of corporate social responsibility activities undertaken by the Company for the year ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 includes education, sustainability initiatives, rural development, protection of national heritage, art and culture, healthcare and COVID-19 infrastructure. 36. Segment information The Company publishes these standalone financial statements along with the consolidated financial statements. In accordance with Ind AS 108, Operating Segments, the Company has disclosed the segment information in the consolidated financial statements. 37. The Indian Parliament has approved the Code on Social Security, 2020 which would impact the contributions by the Company towards Provident Fund and Gratuity. The Ministry of Labour and Employment has released draft rules for the Code on Social Security, 2020 on November 13, 2020, and has invited suggestions from stake holders which are under active consideration by the Ministry. Based on an initial assessment by the Company and its Indian subsidiaries, the additional impact on Provident Fund contributions by the Company and its Indian subsidiaries is not expected to be material, whereas, the likely additional impact on Gratuity liability / contributions by the Company and its Indian subsidiaries could be material. The Company and its Indian subsidiaries will complete their evaluation once the subject rules are notified and will give appropriate impact in the standalone financial statements in the period in which, the Code becomes effective and the related rules to determine the financial impact are published. 38. In April 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Capco Technologies Private Limited for an upfront cash consideration of ` 2,713. 39.

Consolidated financial statements under Ind AS Independent Auditor’s Report To The Members of Wipro Limited Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Wipro Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries, (the Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as “the Group”), which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2022, and the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (herein after referred to as “the Consolidated Financial Statements”). In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Consolidated Financial Statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended (‘Ind AS’), and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group as at March 31, 2022, and it’s consolidated profit, consolidated total comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows for the year ended on that date. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143 (10) of the Act (“SA”s). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. Revenue from fixed price contracts using the percentage of completion method— Refer Notes 2 (iii)(a), 3(xiv)B and 22 to the financial statements. Key Audit Matter Description Revenue from fixed-price contracts, including software development, and integration contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time, is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Company to determine the project costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated project costs at completion. The estimation of total project costs involves significant judgement and is assessed throughout the period of the contract to reflect any changes based on the latest available information. In addition, provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the total estimated project costs. We identified the revenue recognition for fixed price contracts where the percentage-of-completion method is used as a key audit matter because of the significant judgement involved in estimating the efforts to complete such contracts. This estimate has a high inherent uncertainty and requires consideration of progress of the contract, efforts incurred todate and estimates of efforts required to complete the remaining performance obligations. This required a high degree of auditor judgment in evaluating the audit evidence supporting estimated efforts to complete and a higher extent of audit effort to evaluate the reasonableness of the total estimated efforts used to recognise revenue from fixedprice contracts. How the Key Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to estimates of efforts to complete for fixed-price contracts accounted using the percentage-ofcompletion method included the following, among others: • We tested the effectiveness of controls relating to (1) recording of efforts incurred and estimation of efforts required to complete the remaining performance obligations, and (2) access and application controls pertaining to time recording and allocation systems, which prevents unauthorised changes to recording of efforts incurred. • We evaluated management’s ability to reasonably estimate the progress towards satisfying the performance obligation by comparing actual information to estimates for performance obligations that have been fulfilled. • We selected a sample of fixed price contracts with customers accounted using percentage-of-completion method and performed the following: Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 215 Statutory Reports and Financial Statements 341113-001 27Jun22 13:03 Page 219
Consolidated fifinancial statements under Ind AS Independent Auditor’s Report • Read the contract and based on the terms and conditions evaluated whether recognizing revenue over time using percentage of completion method was appropriate, and the contract was included in management’s calculation of revenue over time. • Evaluated the appropriateness of and consistency in the application of management’s policies and methodologies to estimate progress towards satisfying the performance obligation. • Compared efforts incurred to date with Company’s estimate of efforts incurred to date to identify significant variations and evaluate whether those variations have been considered appropriately in estimating the remaining efforts to complete the contract. • Tested the estimate for consistency with the status of delivery of milestones and customer acceptances to identify possible delays in achieving milestones, which require changes in estimated efforts to complete the remaining performance obligations. • Evaluated other information that supported the estimates of the progress towards satisfying the performance obligation. Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon • The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s report including Annexures to Board’s report, Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report and Corporate Governance Report, but does not include the Consolidated Financial Statements, Standalone Financial Statements and our auditor’s report thereon. • Our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. • In connection with our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements, or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. • If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation and presentation of these Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance including other comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements by the Directors of the Company, as aforesaid. In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the respective entities to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate their respective entities or cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group. Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Consolidated Financial Statements. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is 216 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized 341113-001 27Jun22 13:03 Page 220
Consolidated fifinancial statements under Ind AS higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company and its subsidiary companies which are companies incorporated in India, has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management. • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Consolidated Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities and business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements. Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Consolidated Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Consolidated Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Consolidated Financial Statements. We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company and such other entities included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Consolidated financial statements under Ind AS ANNEXURE “A” TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (Referred to in paragraph 1(f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report to the Members of Wipro Limited of even date) Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) In conjunction with our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as of and for the year ended March 31, 2022, we have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Wipro Limited (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) and its subsidiary companies, which are companies incorporated in India, as of that date. Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls The respective Board of Directors of the company, and its subsidiary companies, which are companies incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the respective Companies considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“the ICAI”). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the respective company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting of the Company, and its subsidiary companies, which are companies incorporated in India, based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) issued by the ICAI and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls system over financial reporting of the Company, and its subsidiary companies which are companies incorporated in India. Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

1. The Company Overview Wipro Limited (“Wipro” or the “Parent Company”), together with its subsidiaries and controlled trusts (collectively, “we”, “us”, “our”, “the Company” or the “Group”) is a global information technology (“IT”), consulting and business process services (“BPS”) company. Wipro is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in India. The address of its registered office is Wipro Limited, Doddakannelli, Sarjapur Road, Bengaluru – 560 035, Karnataka, India. The Company has its primary listing with BSE Ltd. and National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. The Company’s American Depository Shares (“ADS”) representing equity shares are also listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company’s Board of Directors authorised these consolidated financial statements for issue on June 8, 2022. 2. Basis of Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements (i) Statement of compliance and basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”), the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Companies Act”), as applicable and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”). The Ind AS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and amendments issued thereafter. The consolidated financial statements correspond to the classification provisions contained in Ind AS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements”. For clarity, various items are aggregated in the consolidated statement of profit and loss and consolidated balance sheet. These items are disaggregated separately in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, where applicable. The accounting policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented in these financial statements, except for the adoption of new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations effective from April 1, 2021. All amounts included in the consolidated financial statements are reported in millions of Indian rupees (` in millions) except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated. Due to rounding off, the numbers presented throughout the document may not add up precisely to the totals and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures. Previous year figures have been regrouped/ rearranged, wherever necessary. (ii) Basis of measurement The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost convention and on an accrual basis, except for the following material items which have been measured at fair value as required by relevant Ind AS: a. Derivative financial instruments; b. Financial instruments classified as fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss; c. The defined benefit liability/(asset) is recognised as the present value of defined benefit obligation less fair value of plan assets; and d. Contingent consideration. (iii) Use of estimates and judgment The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the management to make judgments, accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Accounting estimates are monetary amounts in the consolidated financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. An accounting policy may require items in consolidated financial statements to be measured at monetary amounts that cannot be observed directly and must instead be estimated. In such a case, management develops an accounting estimate to achieve the objective set out by the accounting policy. Developing accounting estimates involves the use of judgements or assumptions based on the latest available and reliable information. Actual results may differ from those accounting estimates. Accounting estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Changes to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are changed and in any future periods affected. In particular, information about material areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the material effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements are included in the following notes: a) Revenue recognition: The Company applies judgement to determine whether each product or service promised to a customer is capable of being distinct, and is distinct in the context of the contract, if not, the promised product or service is combined and accounted as a single performance obligation. The Company allocates the arrangement consideration to separately identifiable performance obligation deliverables based on their relative standalone selling price. In cases where the Company is unable to determine the standalone selling price the Company uses expected cost-plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. The Company uses the percentage of completion method using the input (cost expended) method to measure progress towards completion in respect of fixed price contracts. Percentage of completion method accounting relies on estimates of total expected contract revenue and costs. This method is followed when reasonably (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Consolidated financial statements under Ind AS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 229 Statutory Reports and Financial Statements 341113-001 27Jun22 13:03 Page 233
dependable estimates of the revenues and costs applicable to various elements of the contract can be made. Key factors that are reviewed in estimating the future costs to complete include estimates of future labor costs and productivity efficiencies. Because the financial reporting of these contracts depends on estimates that are assessed continually during the term of these contracts, revenue recognised, profit and timing of revenue for remaining performance obligations are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. When estimates indicate that a loss will be incurred, the loss is provided for in the period in which the loss becomes probable. Volume discounts are recorded as a reduction of revenue. When the amount of discount varies with the levels of revenue, volume discount is recorded based on estimate of future revenue from the customer. b) Impairment testing: Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life recognised on business combination are tested for impairment at least annually and when events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that the recoverable amount of an asset or a cash generating unit to which an asset pertains, is less than the carrying value. The Company assesses acquired intangible assets with finite useful life for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash generating unit is higher of value-inuse and fair value less cost of disposal. The calculation of value-in-use of an asset or a cash generating unit involves use of significant estimates and assumptions which include turnover, growth rates and net margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, riskadjusted discount rate, future economic and market conditions. c) Income taxes: The major tax jurisdictions for the Company are India and the United States of America. Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes including judgment on whether tax positions are probable of being sustained in tax assessments. A tax assessment can involve complex issues, which can only be resolved over extended time periods. Deferred tax is recorded on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts, at the rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The ultimate realisation of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable profits during the periods in which those temporary differences and tax loss carry forwards become deductible. The Company considers expected reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realisable, however, could reduce in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced. d) Business combinations: In accounting for business combinations, judgment is required to assess whether an identifiable intangible asset is to be recorded separately from goodwill. Additionally, estimating the acquisition date fair value of the identifiable assets acquired (including useful life estimates), liabilities assumed, and contingent consideration assumed involves management judgment. These measurements are based on information available at the acquisition date and are based on expectations and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management. Changes in these judgments, estimates, and assumptions can materially affect the results of operations. e) Defined benefit plans and compensated absences: The cost of the defined benefit plans, compensated absences and the present value of the defined benefit obligations are based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. f) Expected credit losses on financial assets: The impairment provisions of financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected timing of collection. The Company uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the expected credit loss calculation based on the Company’s history of collections, customer’s creditworthiness, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. g) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment: The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived based on an estimate of an asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology. The estimated useful life is reviewed at least annually. h) Useful lives of intangible assets: The Company amortises intangible assets on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful life is estimated based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors such as the stability of the (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Consolidated financial statements under Ind AS 230 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized 341113-001 27Jun22 13:03 Page 234
industry and known technological advances and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the assets. The estimated useful life is reviewed at least annually. i) Provisions and contingent liabilities: The Company estimates the provisions that have present obligations as a result of past events, and it is probable that outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations. These provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. The Company uses significant judgement to disclose contingent liabilities. Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements. j) Uncertainty relating to the global health pandemic on COVID-19: In assessing the recoverability of receivables including unbilled receivables, contract assets and contract costs, goodwill, intangible assets, and certain investments, the Company has considered internal and external information up to the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements including credit reports and economic forecasts. Based on the current indicators of future economic conditions, the Company expects to recover the carrying amount of these assets. The Company bases its assessment on the belief that the probability of occurrence of forecasted transactions is not impacted by COVID-19. The Company has considered the effect of changes, if any, in both counterparty credit risk and its own credit risk while assessing hedge effectiveness and measuring hedge ineffectiveness and continues to believe that COVID-19 has no impact on effectiveness of its hedges. The impact of COVID-19 may be different from what we have estimated as of the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements and the Company will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions. 3. Material Accounting Policy Information (i) Basis of consolidation Subsidiaries and controlled trusts The Company determines the basis of control in line with the requirements of Ind AS 110, Consolidated Financial Statements. Subsidiaries and controlled trusts are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the parent has power over the entity, it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries and controlled trusts are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. The financial statements of the Group companies are consolidated on a line-by-line basis and all intra-Group balances, transactions, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. Non-controlling interests Non-controlling interests in the net assets (excluding goodwill) of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Company’s equity. The interest of noncontrolling shareholders may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on an acquisition to acquisition basis. Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interest’s share of subsequent changes in equity. Total comprehensive income is attributed to noncontrolling interests even if it results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. Investments accounted for using the equity method Investments accounted for using the equity method are entities in respect of which, the Company has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Generally, a Company has a significant influence if it holds between 20 and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity. Investments in such entities are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of investment is increased/ decreased to recognise investors share of profit or loss of the investee after the acquisition date. Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale Assets and liabilities of disposal groups that are available for immediate sale and where the sale is highly probable of being completed within one year from the date of classification are considered and classified as assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale. Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. (ii) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which these entities operate (i.e. the “functional currency”). These consolidated financial statements are presented in Indian rupees, which is the functional currency of the Parent Company. (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Consolidated financial statements under Ind AS Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 231 Statutory Reports and Financial Statements 341113-001 27Jun22 13:03 Page 235
(iii) Foreign currency transactions and translation a) Transactions and balances: Transactions in foreign currency are translated into the respective functional currencies using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from translation at the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss and reported within foreign exchange gains/ (losses), net, within results of operating activities except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges. Net loss relating to translation or settlement of borrowings denominated in foreign currency are reported within finance costs. Net gain relating to translation or settlement of borrowings denominated in foreign currency are reported within Other income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of transaction. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets measured at fair value at the reporting date, such as equities classified as financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are included in other comprehensive income, net of taxes. b) Foreign operations: For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations that have a functional currency other than Indian rupees are translated into Indian rupees using exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and held in foreign currency translation reserve (FCTR), a component of equity, except to the extent that the translation difference is allocated to non-controlling interest. When a foreign operation is disposed of, the relevant amount recognised in FCTR is transferred to the consolidated statement of profit and loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date. c) Others: Foreign currency differences arising on the translation or settlement of a financial liability designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented within equity in the FCTR to the extent the hedge is effective. To the extent the hedge is ineffective, such differences are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss. When the hedged part of a net investment is disposed of, the relevant amount recognised in FCTR is transferred to the consolidated statement of profit and loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal. Foreign currency differences arising from translation of intercompany receivables or payables relating to foreign operations, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, are considered to form part of net investment in foreign operation and are recognised in FCTR. (iv) Financial instruments A) Non-derivative financial instruments: Non-derivative financial instruments consist of: • financial assets, which include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, unbilled receivables, finance lease receivables, employee and other advances, investments in equity and debt securities and eligible current and noncurrent assets; Financial assets are derecognised when substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been transferred. In cases where substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are neither transferred nor retained, financial assets are derecognised only when the Company has not retained control over the financial asset. • financial liabilities, which include long and short-term loans and borrowings, bank overdrafts, trade payables, lease liabilities and eligible current and non-current liabilities. Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below: a. Cash and cash equivalents: The Company’s cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and in banks and demand deposits with banks, which can be withdrawn at any time, without prior notice or penalty on the principal. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, in banks and demand deposits with banks, net of outstanding bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and are considered part of the Company’s cash management system. In the consolidated balance sheet, bank overdrafts are presented under borrowings within current liabilities. b. Investments Financial instruments measured at amortised cost: Debt instruments that meet the following criteria are measured at amortised cost (except for debt instruments that are designated at fair value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) on initial recognition): • the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Consolidated financial statements under Ind AS 232 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized 341113-001 27Jun22 13:03 Page 236
• the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payment of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI): Debt instruments that meet the following criteria are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) (except for debt instruments that are designated at fair value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) on initial recognition): • the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial asset; and • the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payment of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Interest income is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss for FVTOCI debt instruments. Other changes in fair value of FVTOCI financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income. When the investment is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in reserves is transferred to the consolidated statement of profit and loss. Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL): Instruments that do not meet the amortised cost or FVTOCI criteria are measured at FVTPL. Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in consolidated statement of profit and loss. The gain or loss on disposal is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss. Interest income is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss for FVTPL debt instruments. Dividend on financial assets at FVTPL is recognised when the Group’s right to receive dividend is established. Investments in equity instruments: The Company carries certain equity instruments which are not held for trading. At initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument in other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or through statement of profit and loss (FVTPL). For investments designated to be classified as FVTOCI, movements in fair value of investments are recognised in other comprehensive income and the gain or loss is not transferred to consolidated statement of profit and loss on disposal of investments. For investments designated to be classified as FVTPL, both movements in fair value of investments and gain or loss on disposal of investments are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss. Dividends from these investments are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss when the Company’s right to receive dividends is established. c. Other financial assets: Other financial assets are nonderivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are presented as current assets, except for those maturing later than 12 months after the reporting date which are presented as non-current assets. These are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. These comprise trade receivables, unbilled receivables, finance lease receivables, employee and other advances and eligible current and non-current assets. d. Trade payables and other liabilities: Trade payables and other liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. For these financial instruments, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Contingent consideration recognised in a business combination is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. B) Derivative financial instruments: The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency assets, liabilities, net investment in foreign operations and forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currency. The Company limits the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by following established risk management policies including the use of derivatives. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments where the counterparty is primarily a bank. Derivatives are recognised and measured at fair value. Attributable transaction costs are recognised in consolidated statement of profit and loss as cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial instruments are measured as described below: a. Cash flow hedges: Changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instruments designated as a cash flow hedge are recognised in other comprehensive income and held in cash flow hedging reserve, net of taxes, a component of equity, to the extent that the hedge is effective. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, changes in fair value are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss and reported within foreign exchange gains/(losses), net within results from operating activities. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in cash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Consolidated financial statements under Ind AS Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 233 Statutory Reports and Financial Statements 341113-001 27Jun22 13:03 Page 237
hedging reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the consolidated statement of profit and loss upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, such cumulative balance is immediately recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss. b. Hedges of net investment in foreign operations: The Company designates derivative financial instruments as hedges of net investments in foreign operations. The Company also designates foreign currency denominated borrowing as a hedge of net investment in foreign operations. Changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instruments and gains/(losses) on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated borrowings designated as a hedge of net investment in foreign operations are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented within equity in the FCTR to the extent that the hedge is effective. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, changes in fair value are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss and reported within foreign exchange gains/ (losses), net within results from operating activities. c. Others: Changes in fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments neither designated as cash flow hedges nor hedges of net investment in foreign operations are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss and reported within foreign exchange gains/(losses), net within results from operating activities. Changes in fair value and gains/(losses), net, on settlement of foreign currency derivative instruments relating to borrowings, which have not been designated as hedges are recorded in finance costs. C) Derecognition of financial instruments: The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and recognises a borrowing for the proceeds received. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognised from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. (v) Equity and share capital a) Share capital and Securities premium: The authorised share capital of the Company as at March 31, 2022 is `25,274 divided into 12,504,500,000 equity shares of `2 each, 25,000,000 preference shares of `10 each and 150,000 10% optionally convertible cumulative preference shares of `100 each. Par value of the equity shares is recorded as share capital and the amount received in excess of par value is classified as Securities premium. Every holder of the equity shares, as reflected in the records of the Company as at the date of the shareholder meeting shall have one vote in respect of each share held for all matters submitted to vote in the shareholder meeting. b) Shares held by controlled trust (Treasury shares): The Company’s equity shares held by the controlled trust, which is consolidated as a part of the Group are classified as Treasury shares. The Company has 14,689,729 and 19,401,215 treasury shares as at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Treasury shares are recorded at acquisition cost. c) Retained earnings: Retained earnings comprises of the Company’s undistributed earnings after taxes. d) Capital Reserve: Capital Reserve amounting to ` 1,139 (March 31, 2021: ` 1,139) is not freely available for distribution. e) Capital Redemption Reserve: As per the Companies Act, 2013, Capital redemption reserve is created when a company purchases its own shares out of free reserves or securities premium. A sum equal to the nominal value of the shares so purchased is transferred to capital redemption reserve. The reserve can be utilised in accordance with the provisions of Section 69 of the Companies Act, 2013. As of March 31, 2022, Capital redemption reserve amounting to ` 1,135 (March 31, 2021: ` 1,135) is not freely available for distribution. f) Share options outstanding account: The Share options outstanding account is used to record the value of equity-settled share-based payment transactions with employees. The amounts recorded in share options outstanding account are transferred to securities premium upon exercise of stock options and restricted stock unit options by employees. g) Special Economic Zone re-investment reserve: The Special Economic Zone re-investment Reserve has been created out of profit of eligible Special Economic Zone units as per provisions of Section 10AA(1)(ii) of the Income–tax Act, 1961 for acquiring new plant and machinery. The said reserve should be utilised by the Company for acquiring plant and machinery as per the terms of Section 10AA(2) of the Income-tax Act, 1961. This reserve is not freely available for distribution. h) Foreign currency translation reserve (FCTR): The exchange differences arising from the translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, differences arising from translation of long-term intercompany receivables or payables relating to foreign operations, settlement of which is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, changes in fair value of the derivative hedging instruments and gains/ losses on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated borrowings designated as hedge of (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Consolidated financial statements under Ind AS 234 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized 341113-001 27Jun22 13:03 Page 238
net investment in foreign operations are recognised in other comprehensive income, net of taxes and presented within equity in the FCTR. i) Cash flow hedging reserve: Changes in fair value of derivative hedging instruments designated and effective as a cash flow hedge are recognised in other comprehensive income, net of taxes, and presented within equity as cash flow hedging reserve. j) Others: Changes in the fair value of financial instruments (debt or equity) measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income, net of taxes and presented within investment in debt instruments measured at fair value through OCI or investment in equity instruments measured at fair value through OCI. Actuarial gains and losses on re-measurements of the defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income, net of taxes and presented within equity in re-measurement of the defined benefit plans. k) Dividend: A final dividend on equity shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders. An interim dividend is recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the board of directors. l) Buyback of equity shares: The buyback of equity shares, including tax thereon and related transaction cost are recorded as a reduction of free reserves. Further, capital redemption reserve is created as an apportionment from retained earnings. m) Bonus issue: For the purpose of bonus issue, the amount is transferred from capital redemption reserves, securities premium and retained earnings to the share capital. (vi) Property, plant and equipment a) Recognition and measurement: Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost includes expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost. Capital work-in-progress are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. b) Depreciation: The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment over the estimated useful life on a straight-line basis from the date the assets are available for use. Leasehold improvements are amortised over the shorter of estimated useful life of the asset or the related lease term. Term licenses are amortised over their respective contract term. Freehold land is not depreciated. The estimated useful life of assets is reviewed and where appropriate are adjusted, annually. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows: Category Useful life Buildings 28 to 40 years Plant and equipment 5 to 21 years Computer equipment and software 2 to 7 years Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3 to 10 years Vehicles 4 to 5 years When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Deposits and advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding as at each reporting date is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets and the cost of property, plant and equipment not available for use before such date are disclosed under capital work-in-progress. (vii) Business combinations, Goodwill and Intangible assets a) Business combinations: Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase (acquisition) method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued at the date of exchange by the Company. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at fair value at the date of acquisition. Transaction costs incurred in connection with a business acquisition are expensed as incurred. The cost of an acquisition also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration measured as at the date of acquisition. Any subsequent changes to the fair value of contingent consideration classified as liabilities, other than measurement period adjustments, are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss. b) Goodwill: The excess of the cost of an acquisition over the Company’s share in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities is recognised as goodwill. If the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised in equity as capital reserve. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment (if any). Goodwill associated with disposal of an operation that is part of cash-generating unit is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained, unless some other method better reflects the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of. (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Consolidated financial statements under Ind AS Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 235 Statutory Reports and Financial Statements 341113-001 27Jun22 13:03 Page 239
c) Intangible assets: Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost of acquisition. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The amortisation of an intangible asset with a finite useful life reflects the manner in which the economic benefit is expected to be generated. The estimated useful life of amortisable intangibles is reviewed and where appropriate is adjusted, annually. The estimated useful lives of the amortisable intangible assets are as follows: Category Useful life Customer-related intangibles 1 to 15 years Marketing-related intangibles 2.5 to 10 years (viii) Leases The Company as a lessee The Company enters into an arrangement for lease of land, buildings, plant and equipment including computer equipment and vehicles. Such arrangements are generally for a fixed period but may have extension or termination options. The Company assesses, whether the contract is, or contains, a lease, at its inception. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to – (a) control use of an identified asset, (b) obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the identified asset, and (c) direct the use of the identified asset. The Company determines the lease term as the noncancellable period of a lease, together with periods covered by an option to extend the lease, where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option. The Company at the commencement of the lease contract recognises a Right of Use (“RoU”) asset at cost and corresponding lease liability, except for leases with term of less than twelve months (short-term leases) and lowvalue assets. For these short-term and low-value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The cost of the RoU assets comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the inception date of the lease plus any initial direct costs, less any lease incentives received. Subsequently, the RoU assets are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The RoU assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of RoU assets. The estimated useful lives of RoU assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. The Company applies Ind AS 36 to determine whether a RoU asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in the impairment of nonfinancial assets below. For lease liabilities at the commencement of the lease, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determined, if that rate is not readily determined, the lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate that the Company would have to pay to borrow funds, including the consideration of factors such as the nature of the asset and location, collateral, market terms and conditions, as applicable in a similar economic environment. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. The Company recognises the amount of the remeasurement of lease liability as an adjustment to the RoU assets. Where the carrying amount of the RoU asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in consolidated statement of profit and loss. Payment of lease liabilities are classified as cash used in financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company as a lessor Leases under which the Company is a lessor are classified as a finance or operating lease. Lease contracts where all the risks and rewards are substantially transferred to the lessee, are classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating lease. For leases under which the Company is an intermediate lessor, the Company accounts for the head-lease and the sub-lease as two separate contracts. The sub-lease is further classified either as a finance lease or an operating lease by reference to the RoU asset arising from the headlease. (ix) Inventories Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realisable value, including necessary provision for obsolescence. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. (x) Impairment a) Financial assets: The Company applies the expected credit loss model for recognizing impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortised cost, debt (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Consolidated financial statements under Ind AS 236 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized 341113-001 27Jun22 13:03 Page 240
instruments classified as FVTOCI, trade receivables, unbilled receivables, contract assets, finance lease receivables, and other financial assets. Expected credit loss is the difference between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows that the entity expects to receive, discounted using the effective interest rate. Loss allowances for trade receivables, unbilled receivables, contract assets and finance lease receivables are measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss. Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. Lifetime expected credit loss is computed based on a provision matrix which takes in to account, risk profiling of customers and historical credit loss experience adjusted for forward looking information. For other financial assets, expected credit loss is measured at the amount equal to twelve months expected credit loss unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition, in which case those are measured at lifetime expected credit loss. b) Non-financial assets: The Company assesses longlived assets such as property, plant and equipment, RoU assets and acquired intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset or group of assets. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually at the same time and when events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying value. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the level of cash generating unit or groups of cash generating units which represents the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is the higher of its fair value less cost of disposal (“FVLCD”) and its value-in-use (“VIU”). The VIU of long-lived assets is calculated using projected future cash flows. FVLCD of a cash generating unit is computed using turnover and earnings multiples. If the recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss. If at the reporting date, there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the impairment losses previously recognised are reversed such that the asset is recognised at its recoverable amount but not exceeding written down value which would have been reported if the impairment losses had not been recognised initially. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. (xi) Employee benefits a) Post-employment plans: The Group participates in various employee benefit plans. Pensions and other post-employment benefits are classified as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. Under a defined contribution plan, the Company’s sole obligation is to pay a fixed amount with no obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits. The related actuarial and investment risks are borne by the employee. The expenditure for defined contribution plans is recognised as an expense during the period when the employee provides service. Under a defined benefit plan, it is the Company’s obligation to provide agreed benefits to the employees. The related actuarial and investment risks are borne by the Company. The present value of the defined benefit obligations is calculated by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. Re-measurements of the defined benefit plans, comprising actuarial gains or losses, and the return on plan assets (excluding interest) are immediately recognised in other comprehensive income, net of taxes and not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent period. Net interest recognised in profit or loss is calculated by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The actual return on the plan assets above or below the discount rate, is recognised as part of remeasurements of the defined benefit plans through other comprehensive income, net of taxes. The Company has the following employee benefit plans: A. Provident fund: Eligible employees receive benefits under the Company’s provident fund plan, into which both the employer and employees make periodic contributions to the approved provident fund trust managed by the Company. A portion of the employer’s contribution is made to the government administered pension fund. The contributions to the trust managed by the Company is accounted for as a defined benefit plan as the Company is liable for any shortfall in the fund assets based on the government specified minimum rates of return. Certain employees receive benefits under the provident fund plan in which both the employer and employees make periodic contributions to the government administered provident fund. A portion of the employer’s contribution is made to the government administered pension fund. This is accounted as a defined contribution plan as the obligation of the Company is limited to the contributions made to the fund.

B. Gratuity and foreign pension: In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, applicable for Indian companies, the Company provides for a lump sum payment to eligible employees, at retirement or termination of employment based on the last drawn salary and years of employment with the Company. The gratuity fund is managed by third party fund managers. The Company also maintains pension and similar plans for employees outside India, based on country specific regulations. These plans are partially funded, and the funds are managed by third party fund managers. The plans provide for monthly payout after retirement as per salary drawn and service period or for a lump sum payment as set out in rules of each fund. The Company’s obligations in respect of these plans, which are defined benefit plans, are provided for based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. C. Superannuation: Superannuation plan, a defined contribution scheme is administered by third party fund managers. The Company makes annual contributions based on a specified percentage of each eligible employee’s salary. b) Termination benefits: Termination benefits are expensed when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits. c) Short-term benefits: Short-term employee benefit obligations such as cash bonus, management incentive plans or profit-sharing plans are measured on an undiscounted basis and are recorded as expense as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus, management incentive plans or profitsharing plans, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably. d) Compensated absences: The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated absences. The employees can carry forward a portion of the unutilised accumulating compensated absences and utilise it in future periods or receive cash at retirement or termination of employment. The Company records an obligation for compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement. The Company measures the expected cost of compensated absences as the additional amount that the Company expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the end of the reporting period. The Company recognises accumulated compensated absences based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Non-accumulating compensated absences are recognised in the period in which the absences occur. (xii) Share-based payment transactions Selected employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of equity settled instruments or cash settled instruments, for rendering services over a defined vesting period and for Company’s performance-based stock options over the defined period. Equity instruments granted are measured by reference to the fair value of the instrument at the date of grant. In cases, where equity instruments are granted at a nominal exercise price, the intrinsic value on the date of grant approximates the fair value. The expense is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss with a corresponding increase to the share options outstanding account, a component of equity. The equity instruments or cash settled instruments generally vest in a graded manner over the vesting period. The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed over the vesting period of the respective tranches of such grants (accelerated amortisation). The stock compensation expense is determined based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments or cash settled instruments that will eventually vest. Cash settled instruments granted are re-measured by reference to the fair value at the end of each reporting period and at the time of vesting. The expense is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss with a corresponding increase to financial liability. (xiii) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive), as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset, if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. Provisions for onerous contracts are recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. Provisions for onerous contracts are measured at the present value of lower of the expected net cost of fulfilling the contract and the expected cost of terminating the contract.

(xiv) Revenue The Company derives revenue primarily from software development, maintenance of software/hardware and related services, business process services, sale of IT and other products. Revenues from customer contracts are considered for recognition and measurement when the contract has been approved by the parties to the contract, the parties to contract are committed to perform their respective obligations under the contract, and the contract is legally enforceable. Revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. To recognise revenues, the Company applies the following five step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognise revenues when a performance obligation is satisfied. When there is uncertainty as to collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved. At contract inception, the Company assesses its promise to transfer products or services to a customer to identify separate performance obligations. The Company applies judgement to determine whether each product or service promised to a customer is capable of being distinct, and are distinct in the context of the contract, if not, the promised product or service is combined and accounted as a single performance obligation. The Company allocates the arrangement consideration to separately identifiable performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling price or residual method. Standalone selling prices are determined based on sale prices for the components when it is regularly sold separately, in cases where the Company is unable to determine the standalone selling price the Company uses third-party prices for similar deliverables or the Company uses expected cost-plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. For performance obligations where control is transferred over time, revenues are recognised by measuring progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the promised products or services to be provided. The method for recognizing revenues and costs depends on the nature of the services rendered: A. Time and materials contracts: Revenues and costs relating to time and materials contracts are recognised as the related services are rendered. B. Fixed price contracts: i. Fixed price development contracts: Revenues from fixed price development contracts, including software development, and integration contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time, are recognised using the “percentageof- completion” method. The performance obligations are satisfied as and when the services are rendered since the customer generally obtains control of the work as it progresses. Percentage of completion is determined based on project costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated project costs required to complete the project. The cost expended (or input) method has been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. If the Company is not able to reasonably measure the progress of completion, revenue is recognised only to the extent of costs incurred for which recoverability is probable. When total cost estimates exceed revenues in an arrangement, the estimated losses are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates as an onerous contract provision. A contract asset is a right to consideration that is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time. Contract assets primarily relate to unbilled amounts on fixed price development contracts and are classified as non-financial asset as the contractual right to consideration is dependent on completion of contractual milestones. A contract liability is an entity’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the entity has received consideration (or the amount is due) from the customer. Unbilled receivables on other than fixed price development contracts are classified as a financial asset where the right to consideration is unconditional and only the passage of time is required before the payment is due. ii. Maintenance contracts: Revenues related to fixed price maintenance contracts are recognised on a straight-line basis when services are performed through an indefinite number of repetitive acts over a specified period or ratably using percentage of completion method when the pattern of benefits from the services rendered to the customers and the cost to fulfil the contract is not even through the period of contract because the services are generally discrete in nature and not repetitive. Revenue for contracts in which the invoicing is representative of the value being delivered is recognised based on our right to invoice. If our invoicing is not consistent with value delivered, revenues are recognised as the service is performed using the percentage of completion method. In certain projects, a fixed quantum of service or output units is agreed at a fixed price for a fixed term. In such contracts, revenue is recognised with respect to the actual output achieved till date as a percentage of total contractual output. Any residual service unutilised by the customer is recognised as revenue on completion of the term. (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Consolidated financial statements under Ind AS Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 239 Statutory Reports and Financial Statements 341113-001 27Jun22 13:03 Page 243
iii. Element or Volume based contracts: Revenues and costs are recognised as the related services are rendered. C. Products: Revenue on product sales are recognised when the customer obtains control of the specified product. D. Others • Any change in scope or price is considered to be a contract modification. The Company accounts for modifications to existing contracts by assessing whether the services added are distinct and whether the pricing is at the standalone selling price. Services added that are not distinct are accounted for on a cumulative catch up basis, while those that are distinct are accounted for prospectively, either as a separate contract if the additional services are priced at the standalone selling price, or as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract if not priced at the standalone selling price. • The Company accounts for variable considerations like, volume discounts, rebates and pricing incentives to customers and penalties as reduction of revenue on a systematic and rational basis over the period of the contract. The Company estimates an amount of such variable consideration using expected value method or the single most likely amount in a range of possible consideration depending on which method better predicts the amount of consideration to which the Company may be entitled and when it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. • Revenues are shown net of allowances/returns, sales tax, value added tax, goods and services tax and applicable discounts and allowances. • The Company accrues the estimated cost of warranties at the time when the revenue is recognised. The accruals are based on the Company’s historical experience of material usage and service delivery costs. • Incremental costs that relate directly to a contract and incurred in securing a contract with a customer are recognised as an asset when the Company expects to recover these costs and amortised over the contract term. • The Company recognises contract fulfilment cost as an asset if those costs specifically relate to a contract or to an anticipated contract, the costs generate or enhance resources that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in future; and the costs are expected to be recovered. The asset so recognised is amortised on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer of goods or services to customer to which the asset relates. • The Company assesses the timing of the transfer of goods or services to the customer as compared to the timing of payments to determine whether a significant financing component exists. As a practical expedient, the Company does not assess the existence of a significant financing component when the difference between payment and transfer of deliverables is a year or less. If the difference in timing arises for reasons other than the provision of finance to either the customer or us, no financing component is deemed to exist. • The Company may enter into arrangements with third party suppliers to resell products or services. In such cases, the Company evaluates whether the Company is the principal (i.e. report revenues on a gross basis) or agent (i.e. report revenues on a net basis). In doing so, the Company first evaluates whether the Company controls the good or service before it is transferred to the customer. If Company controls the good or service before it is transferred to the customer, Company is the principal; if not, the Company is the agent. • Estimates of transaction price and total costs or efforts are continuously monitored over the term of the contract and are recognised in net profit in the period when these estimates change or when the estimates are revised. Revenues and the estimated total costs or efforts are subject to revision as the contract progresses. (xv) Finance costs Finance costs comprises interest cost on borrowings, lease liabilities and net defined benefit liability, gains or losses arising on re-measurement of financial assets measured at FVTPL, net loss on translation or settlement of foreign currency borrowings and changes in fair value and gains/(losses) on settlement of related derivative instruments. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to a qualifying asset are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss using the effective interest method. (xvi) Finance and other income Finance and other income comprise interest income on deposits, dividend income, gains/(losses) on disposal of investments and net gain on translation or settlement of foreign currency borrowings. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established. (xvii) Income tax Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss except to the extent it relates to a business combination, or items directly recognised in equity or in other comprehensive income. a) Current income tax: Current income tax for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the taxable income for the period. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Consolidated financial statements under Ind AS 240 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized 341113-001 27Jun22 13:03 Page 244
the current tax amounts are those that are enacted or substantively enacted as at the reporting date and applicable for the period. While determining the tax provisions, the Company assesses whether each uncertain tax position is to be considered separately or together with one or more uncertain tax positions depending upon the nature and circumstances of each uncertain tax position. The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and liability simultaneously. b) Deferred income tax: Deferred income tax is recognised using the balance sheet approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognised for deductible and taxable temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in these consolidated financial statements, except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profits or loss at the time of the transaction. Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except in respect of taxable temporary differences that is expected to reverse within the tax holiday period, taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and foreign branches where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The Company offsets deferred income tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and they relate to taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity, or on different taxable entities where there is a right and an intention to settle the current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. (xviii) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period adjusted for treasury shares held. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of equity and dilutive equivalent shares outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method for options, except where the results would be anti-dilutive. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any splits and bonus shares issues including for change effected prior to the approval of the consolidated financial statements by the Board of Directors. (xix) Statement of cash flows Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated. (xx) Assets held for sale Sale of business is classified as held for sale, if their carrying amount is intended to be recovered principally through sale rather than through continuing use. The condition for classification as held for sale is met when disposal business is available for immediate sale and the same is highly probable of being completed within one year from the date of classification as held for sale. (xxi) Discontinued operations A discontinued operation is a component of the Company’s business that represents a separate line of business that has been disposed of or is held for sale, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale. (xxii) Disposal of assets The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of assets is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss. New Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the Company effective from April 1, 2021: Amendment to Ind AS 116 – COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions The economic challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic have persisted longer than anticipated, and therefore the practical expedient relating to rent concessions arising as a consequence of COVID-19 has been modified.

The Company is organised by three operating segments: IT Services, IT Products and India State Run Enterprise Services. Goodwill as at March 31, 2022 and 2021 has been allocated to the IT Services operating segment.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the Company’s procedure for determining the recoverable value of each CGU. The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on FVLCD. The FVLCD of the CGU is determined based on the market capitalisation approach, using the turnover and earnings multiples derived from observable market data. The fair value measurement is categorised as a level 2 fair value based on the inputs in the valuation techniques used. Based on the above testing, no impairment was identified as at March 31, 2022 and 2021, as the recoverable value of the CGUs exceeded the carrying value. A sensitivity analysis to the change in the key parameters (turnover and earnings multiples) did not identify any probable scenarios where the CGU’s recoverable amount would fall below its carrying amount.

Further, the Company integrated certain brands acquired as part of a business combination, resulting in discontinuance of the acquired brands. Consequently, the Company has recognised impairment charge ` 1,879 for the year ended March 31, 2021 as part of amortisation and impairment.

Derivative instruments (assets and liabilities): The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, primarily banks with investment grade credit ratings. Derivatives valued using valuation techniques with market observable inputs are mainly interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign exchange option contracts. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing, swap models and Black Scholes models (for option valuation), using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, interest rate curves and forward rate curves of the underlying. As at March 31, 2022, the changes in counterparty credit risk had no material effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedge relationships and other financial instruments recognized at fair value.

Market risk is attributable to allmarketrisksensitivefinancialinstrumentsincludinginvestments,foreigncurrencyreceivables,payablesandborrowings. The Company’s exposure to market risk is a function of investment and borrowing activities and revenue generating activities in foreign currency. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure of the Company’s earnings and equity to losses. Risk Management Procedures The Company manages market risk through a corporate treasury department, which evaluates and exercises independent control over the entire process of market risk management. The corporate treasury department recommends risk management objectives and policies, which are approved by senior management and Audit Committee. The activities of this department include management of cash resources, implementing hedging strategies for foreign currency exposures, borrowing strategies, and ensuring compliance with market risk limits and policies. Foreign currency risk The Company operates internationally, and a major portion of its business is transacted in several currencies. Consequently, the CompanyisexposedtoforeignexchangeriskthroughreceivingpaymentforsalesandservicesintheUnitedStatesofAmerica and elsewhere and making purchases from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies. The exchange rate risk primarily arisesfromforeignexchangerevenue,receivables,cashbalances,forecastedcashflows,payablesandforeigncurrencyloans andborrowings.AsignificantportionoftheCompany’srevenueisintheU.S.Dollar,thePoundSterling,theEuro,theCanadian Dollar and the Australian Dollar, while a large portion of costs are in Indian rupees. The exchange rate between the rupee and thesecurrencieshasfluctuatedsignificantlyinrecentyearsandmaycontinuetofluctuateinthefuture.Appreciationofthe rupee against these currencies can adversely affect the Company’s results of operations. The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from these transactions and enters into foreign currency derivative instruments to mitigate such exposure. The Company follows established risk management policies, including the use of derivativeslikeforeignexchangeforward/optioncontractstohedgeforecastedcashflowsdenominatedinforeigncurrency. 258 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized

Contract Assets and Liabilities TheCompanyclassifiesitsrighttoconsiderationinexchangefordeliverablesaseitherareceivableoracontractasset. A receivable is a right to consideration that is unconditional. A right to consideration is unconditional if only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. For example, the Company recognises a receivable for revenues related to time and materials contracts or volume based contracts. The Company presents such receivables as part of unbilledreceivablesattheirnetestimatedrealisablevalue.ThesameistestedforimpairmentaspertheguidanceinIndAS 109 using expected credit loss method. Contract assets: During the year ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, ` 13,944 and ` 15,101 of contract assets pertaining to fixedpricedevelopmentcontractshavebeenreclassifiedtoreceivablesoncompletionofmilestones. Contract liabilities: During the year ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognised revenue of ` 18,880 and ` 16,082 arising from contract liabilities as at March 31, 2021 and 2020 respectively. Contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. B. Remaining Performance Obligations Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognised, which includes contract liabilities and amounts that will be invoiced and recognised as revenue in future periods. Applying the practical expedient, the Company has not disclosed its right to consideration from customers in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date, which are contracts invoiced on time and material basis and volume based. As at March 31, 2022 and 2021, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations, other than those meeting the exclusion criteria above, were ` 328,191 and ` 384,881, respectively, of which approximately 59% and 59%, respectively, is expected to be recognised as revenues within two years, and the remainder thereafter. This includes contracts with a substantive enforceable termination penalty if the contract is terminated without cause by the customer,basedonanoverallassessmentofthecontractcarriedoutatthetimeofinception.Historically,customershave not terminated contracts without cause.

Statutory Reports and Financial Statements Consolidated financial statements under IFRS Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Wipro Limited Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Wipro Limited and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2022, in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated June 8, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Revenue from fixed price contracts using the percentage of completion method— Refer Notes 2 (iv)(a), 3(xiv)B and 24 to the financial statements Critical Audit Matter Description Revenue from fixed-price contracts, including software development, and integration contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time, is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Company to determine the project costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated project costs at completion. The estimation of total project costs involves significant judgement and is assessed throughout the period of the contract to reflect any changes based on the latest available information. In addition, provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the total estimated project costs. We identified the revenue recognition for fixed price contracts where the percentage-of-completion method is used as a critical audit matter because of the significant judgement involved in estimating the efforts to complete such contracts. This estimate has a high inherent uncertainty and requires consideration of progress of the contract, efforts incurred to-date and estimates of efforts required to complete the remaining performance obligations. This required a high degree of auditor judgment in evaluating the audit evidence supporting estimated efforts to complete and a higher extent of audit effort to evaluate the reasonableness of the total estimated efforts used to recognise revenue from fixed-price contracts. How the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to estimates of efforts to complete for fixed-price contracts accounted using the percentage-of-completion method included the following, among others: • We tested the effectiveness of controls relating to (1) recording of efforts incurred and estimation of efforts required to Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 299
Consolidated financial statements under IFRS Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm complete the remaining performance obligations, and (2) access and application controls pertaining to time recording and allocation systems, which prevents unauthorised changes to recording of efforts incurred. • We evaluated management’s ability to reasonably estimate the progress towards satisfying the performance obligation by comparing actual information to estimates for performance obligations that have been fulfilled. • We selected a sample of fixed price contracts with customers accounted using percentage-of-completion method and performed the following: o Read the contract and based on the terms and conditions evaluated whether recognizing revenue over time using percentage of completion method was appropriate, and the contract was included in management’s calculation of revenue over time. o Evaluated the appropriateness of and consistency in the application of management’s policies and methodologies to estimate progress towards satisfying the performance obligation. Compared efforts incurred to date with Company’s estimate of efforts incurred to date to identify significant variations and evaluate whether those variations have been considered appropriately in estimating the remaining efforts to complete the contract. o Tested the estimate for consistency with the status of delivery of milestones and customer acceptances to identify possible delays in achieving milestones, which require changes in estimated efforts to complete the remaining performance obligations. o Evaluated other information that supported the estimates of the progress towards satisfying the performance obligation. /s/ Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP Bengaluru, India June 8, 2022 We have served as the Company’s auditor since fiscal 2018. 300 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized

No representation is made that the Indian rupee amounts have been, could have been or could be converted into United States dollars at such a rate or any other rate. Due to rounding off, the translated numbers presented throughout the document may not add up precisely to the totals. (iv) Use of estimates and judgment The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the management to make judgments, accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Accounting estimates are monetary amounts in the consolidated financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. An accounting policy may require items in consolidated financial statements to be measured at monetary amounts that cannot be observed directly and must instead be estimated. In such a case, management develops an accounting estimate to achieve the objective set out by the accounting policy. Developing accounting estimates involves the use of judgements or assumptions based on the latest available and reliable information. Actual results may differ from those accounting estimates. Accounting estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Changes to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are changed and in any future periods affected. In particular, information about material areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the material effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are included in the following notes: a) Revenue recognition: The Company applies judgement to determine whether each product or service promised to a customer is capable of being distinct, and is distinct in the context of the contract, if not, the promised product or service is combined and accounted as a single performance 310 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
Statutory Reports and Financial Statements Consolidated financial statements under IFRS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) obligation. The Company allocates the arrangement consideration to separately identifiable performance obligation deliverables based on their relative stand-alone selling price. In cases where the Company is unable to determine the standalone selling price the Company uses expected cost-plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. The Company uses the percentage of completion method using the input (cost expended) method to measure progress towards completion in respect of fixed price contracts. Percentage of completion method accounting relies on estimates of total expected contract revenue and costs. This method is followed when reasonably dependable estimates of the revenues and costs applicable to various elements of the contract can be made. Key factors that are reviewed in estimating the future costs to complete include estimates of future labor costs and productivity efficiencies. Because the financial reporting of these contracts depends on estimates that are assessed continually during the term of these contracts, revenue recognized, profit and timing of revenue for remaining performance obligations are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. When estimates indicate that a loss will be incurred, the loss is provided for in the period in which the loss becomes probable. Volume discounts are recorded as a reduction of revenue. When the amount of discount varies with the levels of revenue, volume discount is recorded based on estimate of future revenue from the customer. b) Impairment testing: Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life recognized on business combination are tested for impairment at least annually and when events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that the recoverable amount of an asset or a cash generating unit to which an asset pertains is less than the carrying value. The Company assesses acquired intangible assets with finite useful life for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash generating unit is higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost of disposal. The calculation of value in use of an asset or a cash generating unit involves use of significant estimates and assumptions which include turnover, growth rates and net margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rate, future economic and market conditions. c) Income taxes: The major tax jurisdictions for the Company are India and the United States of America. Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes including judgment on whether tax positions are probable of being sustained in tax assessments. A tax assessment can involve complex issues, which can only be resolved over extended time periods. Deferred tax is recorded on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts, at the rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable profits during the periods in which those temporary differences and tax loss carry-forwards become deductible. The Company considers expected reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could reduce in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced. d) Business combinations: In accounting for business combinations, judgment is required to assess whether an identifiable intangible asset is to be recorded separately from goodwill. Additionally, estimating the acquisition date fair value of the identifiable assets acquired (including useful life estimates), liabilities assumed, and contingent consideration assumed involves management judgment. These measurements are based on information available at the acquisition date and are based on expectations and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by management. Changes in these judgments, estimates, and assumptions can materially affect the results of operations. e) Defined benefit plans and compensated absences: The cost of the defined benefit plans, compensated absences and the present value of the defined benefit obligations are based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date. f) Expected credit losses on financial assets: The impairment provisions of financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected timing of collection. The Company uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the expected credit loss calculation based on the Company’s history of collections, customer’s creditworthiness, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. g) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment: The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived based on an estimate of an Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 311
Consolidated financial statements under IFRS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) asset’s expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life, such as changes in technology. The estimated useful life is reviewed at least annually. h) Useful lives of intangible assets: The Company amortizes intangible assets on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful life is estimated based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors such as the stability of the industry and known technological advances and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the assets. The estimated useful life is reviewed at least annually. i) Provisions and contingent liabilities: The Company estimates the provisions that have present obligations as a result of past events and it is probable that outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations. These provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. The Company uses significant judgement to disclose contingent liabilities. Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statements. j) Uncertainty relating to the global health pandemic on COVID-19: In assessing the recoverability of receivables including unbilled receivables, contract assets and contract costs, goodwill, intangible assets, and certain investments, the Company has considered internal and external information up to the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements including credit reports and economic forecasts. Based on the current indicators of future economic conditions, the Company expects to recover the carrying amount of these assets. The Company bases its assessment on the belief that the probability of occurrence of forecasted transactions is not impacted by COVID-19. The Company has considered the effect of changes, if any, in both counterparty credit risk and its own credit risk while assessing hedge effectiveness and measuring hedge ineffectiveness and continues to believe that COVID-19 has no impact on effectiveness of its hedges. The impact of COVID-19 may be different from what we have estimated as of the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements and the Company will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions. 3. Material accounting policy information (i) Basis of consolidation Subsidiaries and controlled trusts The Company determines the basis of control in line with the requirements of IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements. Subsidiaries and controlled trusts are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the parent has power over the entity, it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries and controlled trusts are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. The financial statements of the Group companies are consolidated on a line-by-line basis and all intra-Group balances, transactions, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. Non-controlling interests Non-controlling interests in the net assets (excluding goodwill) of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Company’s equity. The interest of non-controlling shareholders may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on an acquisition to acquisition basis. Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interest’s share of subsequent changes in equity. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if it results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. Investments accounted for using the equity method Investments accounted for using the equity method are entities in respect of which, the Company has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Generally, a Company has a significant influence if it holds between 20 and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity. Investments in such entities are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of investment is increased/ decreased to recognize investors share of profit or loss of the investee after the acquisition date. Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale Assets and liabilities of disposal groups that are available for immediate sale and where the sale is highly probable of being completed within one year from the date of 312 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
Statutory Reports and Financial Statements Consolidated financial statements under IFRS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) classification are considered and classified as assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale. Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. (ii) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which these entities operate (i.e. the “functional currency”). These consolidated financial statements are presented in Indian rupees, which is the functional currency of the Parent Company. (iii) Foreign currency transactions and translation a) Transactions and balances: Transactions in foreign currency are translated into the respective functional currencies using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from translation at the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated statement of income and reported within foreign exchange gains/(losses), net, within results of operating activities except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges. Net loss relating to translation or settlement of borrowings denominated in foreign currency are reported within finance expense. Net gain relating to translation or settlement of borrowings denominated in foreign currency are reported within finance and other income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevalent at the date of transaction. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets measured at fair value at the reporting date, such as equities classified as financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are included in other comprehensive income, net of taxes. b) Foreign operations: For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations that have a functional currency other than Indian rupees are translated into Indian rupees using exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income and held in foreign currency translation reserve (FCTR), a component of equity, except to the extent that the translation difference is allocated to non-controlling interest. When a foreign operation is disposed of, the relevant amount recognized in FCTR is transferred to the consolidated statement of income as part of the profit or loss on disposal. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date. c) Others: Foreign currency differences arising on the translation or settlement of a financial liability designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented within equity in the FCTR to the extent the hedge is effective. To the extent the hedge is ineffective, such differences are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. When the hedged part of a net investment is disposed of, the relevant amount recognized in FCTR is transferred to the consolidated statement of income as part of the profit or loss on disposal. Foreign currency differences arising from translation of intercompany receivables or payables relating to foreign operations, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, are considered to form part of net investment in foreign operation and are recognized in FCTR. (iv) Financial instruments A) Non-derivative financial instruments: Non-derivative financial instruments consist of: ï¬ financial assets which include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, unbilled receivables, finance lease receivables, employee and other advances, investments in equity and debt securities and eligible current and non-current assets; Financial assets are derecognized when substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been transferred. In cases where substantial risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets are neither transferred nor retained, financial assets are derecognized only when the Company has not retained control over the financial asset. ï¬ financial liabilities which include long and short-term loans and borrowings, bank overdrafts, trade payables and accrued expenses, lease liabilities and eligible current and non-current liabilities. Non-derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below: a. Cash and cash equivalents The Company’s cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and in banks and demand deposits with banks, which can be withdrawn at any time, without prior notice or penalty on the principal. Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 313
Consolidated financial statements under IFRS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, in banks and demand deposits with banks, net of outstanding bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and are considered part of the Company’s cash management system. In the consolidated statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are presented under borrowings within current liabilities. b. Investments Financial instruments measured at amortized cost: Debt instruments that meet the following criteria are measured at amortized cost (except for debt instruments that are designated at fair value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) on initial recognition): ï¬ the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and ï¬ the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payment of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI): Debt instruments that meet the following criteria are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) (except for debt instruments that are designated at fair value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL) on initial recognition): ï¬ the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial asset; and ï¬ the contractual terms of the instrument give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payment of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Interest income is recognized in the consolidated statement of income for FVTOCI debt instruments. Other changes in fair value of FVTOCI financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income. When the investment is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in reserves is transferred to the consolidated statement of income. Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL): Instruments that do not meet the amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria are measured at FVTPL. Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any gains or losses arising on re-measurement recognized in consolidated statement of income. The gain or loss on disposal is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Interest income is recognized in the consolidated statement of income for FVTPL debt instruments. Dividend on financial assets at FVTPL is recognized when the Group’s right to receive dividend is established. Investments in equity instruments: The Company carries certain equity instruments which are not held for trading. At initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument in other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or through statement of income (FVTPL). For investments designated to be classified as FVTOCI, movements in fair value of investments are recognized in other comprehensive income and the gain or loss is not transferred to consolidated statement of income on disposal of investments. For investments designated to be classified as FVTPL, both movements in fair value of investments and gain or loss on disposal of investments are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Dividends from these investments are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the Company’s right to receive dividends is established. c. Other financial assets: Other financial assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are presented as current assets, except for those maturing later than 12 months after the reporting date which are presented as non-current assets. These are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. These comprise trade receivables, unbilled receivables, finance lease receivables, employee and other advances and eligible current and non-current assets. d. Trade payables, accrued expenses, and other liabilities Trade payables, accrued expenses, and other liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. For these financial instruments, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Contingent consideration recognized in a business combination is 314 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
Statutory Reports and Financial Statements Consolidated financial statements under IFRS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. B) Derivative financial instruments The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency assets, liabilities, net investment in foreign operations and forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currency. The Company limits the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by following established risk management policies including the use of derivatives. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments where the counterparty is primarily a bank. Derivatives are recognized and measured at fair value. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in consolidated statement of income as cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial instruments are measured as described below: a. Cash flow hedges Changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instruments designated as a cash flow hedge are recognized in other comprehensive income and held in cash flow hedging reserve, net of taxes, a component of equity, to the extent that the hedge is effective. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statement of income and reported within foreign exchange gains/(losses), net, within results from operating activities. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in cash flow hedging reserve till the period the hedge was effective remains in cash flow hedging reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the consolidated statement of income upon the occurrence of the related forecasted transaction. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, such cumulative balance is immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of income. b. Hedges of net investment in foreign operations The Company designates derivative financial instruments as hedges of net investments in foreign operations. The Company also designates foreign currency denominated borrowing as a hedge of net investment in foreign operations. Changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instruments and gains/(losses) on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated borrowings designated as a hedge of net investment in foreign operations are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented within equity in the FCTR to the extent that the hedge is effective. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statement of income and reported within foreign exchange gains/(losses), net within results from operating activities. c. Others Changes in fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments neither designated as cash flow hedges nor hedges of net investment in foreign operations are recognized in the consolidated statement of income and reported within foreign exchange gains/(losses), net within results from operating activities. Changes in fair value and gains/(losses), net, on settlement of foreign currency derivative instruments relating to borrowings, which have not been designated as hedges are recorded in finance expenses. C) Derecognition of financial instruments The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under IFRS 9. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognize the financial asset and recognizes a borrowing for the proceeds received. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Company’s statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. (v) Equity and share capital a) Share capital and Share premium The authorized share capital of the Company as at March 31, 2022 is ` 25,274 divided into 12,504,500,000 equity shares of ` 2 each, 25,000,000 preference shares of ` 10 each and 150,000 10% optionally convertible cumulative preference shares of ` 100 each. Par value of the equity shares is recorded as share capital and the amount received in excess of par value is classified as share premium. Every holder of the equity shares, as reflected in the records of the Company, as at the date of the shareholder meeting shall have one vote in respect of each share held for all matters submitted to vote in the shareholder meeting. b) Shares held by controlled trust (Treasury shares) The Company’s equity shares held by the controlled trust, which is consolidated as a part of the Group are classified as Treasury shares. The Company has 22,746,081, 19,401,215 and 14,689,729 treasury shares as at March 31, 2020, 2021 and Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 315
Consolidated financial statements under IFRS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) –2022, respectively. Treasury shares are recorded at acquisition cost. c) Retained earnings Retained earnings comprises of the Company’s undistributed earnings after taxes. This includes Capital reserve as at March 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 amounting to ` 1,139, ` 1,139 and ` 1,139 respectively, which is not freely available for distribution. d) Special Economic Zone Re-Investment reserve The Special Economic Zone Re-Investment Reserve has been created out of profit of eligible SEZ units as per provisions of section 10AA(1)(ii) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 for acquiring new plant and machinery. The said reserve should be utilized by the Company for acquiring plant and machinery as per the terms of Section 10AA(2) of the Income-tax Act, 1961. This reserve is not freely available for distribution. e) Share-based payment reserve The share-based payment reserve is used to record the value of equity-settled share-based payment transactions with employees. The amounts recorded in share-based payment reserve are transferred to share premium upon exercise of stock options and restricted stock unit options by employees. f) Foreign currency translation reserve (FCTR) The exchange differences arising from the translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, differences arising from translation of long-term inter-company receivables or payables relating to foreign operations, settlement of which is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, changes in fair value of the derivative hedging instruments and gains/ losses on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated borrowings designated as hedge of net investment in foreign operations are recognized in other comprehensive income, net of taxes and presented within equity in the FCTR. g) Cash flow hedging reserve Changes in fair value of derivative hedging instruments designated and effective as a cash flow hedge are recognized in other comprehensive income, net of taxes and presented within equity as cash flow hedging reserve. h) Other reserves Changes in the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and actuarial gains and losses on remeasurements of the defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income, net of taxes and presented within equity in other reserves. Other reserves also include Capital redemption reserve, which is not freely available for distribution. As per the Companies Act, 2013, Capital redemption reserve is created when a company purchases its own shares out of free reserves or share premium. A sum equal to the nominal value of the shares so purchased is transferred to capital redemption reserve. The reserve can be utilized in accordance with the provisions of Section 69 of the Companies Act, 2013. As of March 31, 2022, capital redemption reserve amounting to ` 1,122 (March 31, 2021: ` 1,122) is not freely available for distribution. i) Dividend A final dividend on common stock is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders. An interim dividend is recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the board of directors. j) Buyback of equity shares The buyback of equity shares, including tax thereon and related transaction costs are recorded as a reduction of free reserves. Further, capital redemption reserve is created as an apportionment from retained earnings. k) Bonus issue For the purpose of bonus issue, the amount is transferred from capital redemption reserves, share premium and retained earnings to the share capital. (vi) Property, plant and equipment a) Recognition and measurement Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost includes expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost. Capital work-in-progress are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. b) Depreciation The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment over the estimated useful life on a straight-line basis from the date the assets are available for use. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of estimated useful life of the asset or the related lease term. Term licenses are amortized over their respective contract term. Freehold land is not depreciated. The estimated useful life of assets is reviewed and where appropriate are adjusted, annually. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows: Category Useful life Buildings 28 to 40 years Plant and equipment 5 to 21 years Computer equipment and software 2 to 7 years Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3 to 10 years Vehicles 4 to 5 years 316 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
Statutory Reports and Financial Statements Consolidated financial statements under IFRS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Deposits and advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding as at each reporting date and the cost of property, plant and equipment not available for use before such date are disclosed under capital work-in-progress. (vii) Business combinations, Goodwill, and Intangible assets a) Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase (acquisition) method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued at the date of exchange by the Company. Identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at fair value at the date of acquisition. Transaction costs incurred in connection with a business acquisition are expensed as incurred. The cost of an acquisition also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration measured as at the date of acquisition. Any subsequent changes to the fair value of contingent consideration classified as liabilities, other than measurement period adjustments, are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. b) Goodwill The excess of the cost of an acquisition over the Company’s share in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities is recognized as goodwill. If the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment (if any). Goodwill associated with disposal of an operation that is part of cash-generating unit is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained, unless some other method better reflects the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of. c) Intangible assets Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost of acquisition. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are measured at fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. The amortization of an intangible asset with a finite useful life reflects the manner in which the economic benefit is expected to be generated and is included in selling and marketing expenses in the consolidated statement of income. The estimated useful life of amortizable intangibles is reviewed and where appropriate is adjusted, annually. The estimated useful lives of the amortizable intangible assets are as follows: Category Useful life Customer-related intangibles 1 to 15 years Marketing-related intangibles 2.5 to 10 years (viii) Leases On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16 “Leases”, which applied to all lease contracts outstanding as at April 1, 2019, using modified retrospective method by recording the cumulative effect of initial application as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The adoption of the new standard has resulted in a reduction of ` 872 in retained earnings, net of deferred tax asset of ` 138. The Company evaluates each contract or arrangement, whether it qualifies as lease as defined under IFRS 16. The Company as a lessee The Company enters into an arrangement for lease of land, buildings, plant and equipment including computer equipment and vehicles. Such arrangements are generally for a fixed period but may have extension or termination options. The Company assesses, whether the contract is, or contains, a lease, at its inception. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to – (a) control use of an identified asset, (b) obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the identified asset, and (c) direct the use of the identified asset. The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with periods covered by an option to extend the lease, where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option. The Company at the commencement of the lease contract recognizes a Right of Use (“RoU”) asset at cost and corresponding lease liability, except for leases with term of less than twelve months (short-term leases) and low-value assets. For these short-term and low-value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The cost of the RoU assets comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the inception date of the Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 317
Consolidated financial statements under IFRS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) lease plus any initial direct costs, less any lease incentives received. Subsequently, the RoU assets are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The RoU assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of RoU assets. The estimated useful lives of RoU assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. The Company applies IAS 36 to determine whether a RoU asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in the impairment of non-financial assets below. For lease liabilities at the commencement of the lease, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determined, if that rate is not readily determined, the lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate that the Company would have to pay to borrow funds, including the consideration of factors such as the nature of the asset and location, collateral, market terms and conditions, as applicable in a similar economic environment. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. The Company recognizes the amount of the remeasurement of lease liability as an adjustment to the RoU assets. Where the carrying amount of the RoU asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognizes any remaining amount of the re-measurement in consolidated statement of income. Payment of lease liabilities are classified as cash used in financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company as a lessor Leases under which the Company is a lessor are classified as a finance or operating lease. Lease contracts where all the risks and rewards are substantially transferred to the lessee are classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating lease. For leases under which the Company is an intermediate lessor, the Company accounts for the head-lease and the sub-lease as two separate contracts. The sub-lease is further classified either as a finance lease or an operating lease by reference to the RoU asset arising from the head-lease. (ix) Inventories Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value, including necessary provision for obsolescence. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. (x) Impairment a) Financial assets The Company applies the expected credit loss model for recognizing impairment loss on financial assets measured at amortized cost, debt instruments classified as FVTOCI, trade receivables, unbilled receivables, contract assets, finance lease receivables, and other financial assets. Expected credit loss is the difference between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows that the entity expects to receive, discounted using the effective interest rate. Loss allowances for trade receivables, unbilled receivables, contract assets and finance lease receivables are measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss. Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. Lifetime expected credit loss is computed based on a provision matrix which takes in to account, risk profiling of customers and historical credit loss experience adjusted for forward looking information. For other financial assets, expected credit loss is measured at the amount equal to twelve months expected credit loss unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition, in which case those are measured at lifetime expected credit loss. b) Non-financial assets The Company assesses long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment, RoU assets and acquired intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset or group of assets. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually at the same time and when events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying value. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the level of cash generating unit or groups of cash generating units which represents the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is the higher of its fair value less cost of disposal (“FVLCD”) and its value-in-use (“VIU”). The VIU of long-lived assets is calculated using projected future cash flows. FVLCD of a cash generating unit is computed using turnover and earnings multiples. If the recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is 318 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
Statutory Reports and Financial Statements Consolidated financial statements under IFRS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) –recognized in the consolidated statement of income. If at the reporting date, there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the impairment losses previously recognized are reversed such that the asset is recognized at its recoverable amount but not exceeding written down value which would have been reported if the impairment losses had not been recognized initially. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. (xi) Employee benefits a) Post-employment plans The Group participates in various employee benefit plans. Pensions and other post-employment benefits are classified as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. Under a defined contribution plan, the Company’s sole obligation is to pay a fixed amount with no obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits. The related actuarial and investment risks are borne by the employee. The expenditure for defined contribution plans is recognized as an expense during the period when the employee provides service. Under a defined benefit plan, it is the Company’s obligation to provide agreed benefits to the employees. The related actuarial and investment risks are borne by the Company. The present value of the defined benefit obligations is calculated by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements of the defined benefit plans, comprising actuarial gains or losses, and the return on plan assets (excluding interest) are immediately recognized in other comprehensive income, net of taxes and not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent period. Net interest recognized in profit or loss is calculated by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The actual return on the plan assets above or below the discount rate, is recognized as part of remeasurements of the defined benefit plans through other comprehensive income, net of taxes. The Company has the following employee benefit plans: A. Provident fund Eligible employees receive benefits under the Company’s provident fund plan, into which both the employer and employees make periodic contributions to the approved provident fund trust managed by the Company. A portion of the employer’s contribution is made to the government administered pension fund. The contributions to the trust managed by the Company is accounted for as a defined benefit plan as the Company is liable for any shortfall in the fund assets based on the government specified minimum rates of return. Certain employees receive benefits under the provident fund plan in which both the employer and employees make periodic contributions to the government administered provident fund. A portion of the employer’s contribution is made to the government administered pension fund. This is accounted as a defined contribution plan as the obligation of the Company is limited to the contributions made to the fund. B. Gratuity and foreign pension In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, applicable for Indian companies, the Company provides for a lump sum payment to eligible employees, at retirement or termination of employment based on the last drawn salary and years of employment with the Company. The gratuity fund is managed by third party fund managers. The Company also maintains pension and similar plans for employees outside India, based on country specific regulations. These plans are partially funded, and the funds are managed by third party fund managers. The plans provide for monthly payout after retirement as per salary drawn and service period or for a lumpsum payment as set out in rules of each fund. The Company’s obligations in respect of these plans, which are defined benefit plans, are provided for based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. C. Superannuation Superannuation plan, a defined contribution scheme is administered by third party fund managers. The Company makes annual contributions based on a specified percentage of each eligible employee’s salary. b) Termination benefits Termination benefits are expensed when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits. c) Short-term benefits Short-term employee benefit obligations such as cash bonus, management incentive plans or profit-sharing plans are measured on an undiscounted basis and are recorded as expense as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or management incentive plans or profit-sharing plans, if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably. Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 319
Consolidated financial statements under IFRS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) d) Compensated absences The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated absences. The employees can carry forward a portion of the unutilized accumulating compensated absences and utilize it in future periods or receive cash at retirement or termination of employment. The Company records an obligation for compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement. The Company measures the expected cost of compensated absences as the additional amount that the Company expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the end of the reporting period. The Company recognizes accumulated compensated absences based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Non-accumulating compensated absences are recognized in the period in which the absences occur. (xii) Share-based payment transactions Selected employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of equity settled instruments or cash settled instruments, for rendering services over a defined vesting period and for Company’s performance-based stock options over the defined period. Equity instruments granted are measured by reference to the fair value of the instrument at the date of grant. In cases, where equity instruments are granted at a nominal exercise price, the intrinsic value on the date of grant approximates the fair value. The expense is recognized in the consolidated statement of income with a corresponding increase to the share-based payment reserve, a component of equity. The equity instruments or cash settled instruments generally vest in a graded manner over the vesting period. The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed over the vesting period of the respective tranches of such grants (accelerated amortization). The stock compensation expense is determined based on the Company’s estimate of equity instruments or cash settled instruments that will eventually vest. Cash Settled instruments granted are re-measured by reference to the fair value at the end of each reporting period and at the time of vesting. The expense is recognized in the consolidated statement of income with a corresponding increase to financial liability. (xiii) Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive), as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset, if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received, and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the future obligations under the contract. Provisions for onerous contracts are measured at the present value of lower of the expected net cost of fulfilling the contract and the expected cost of terminating the contract. (xiv) Revenue The Company derives revenue primarily from software development, maintenance of software/hardware and related services, business process services, sale of IT and other products. Revenues from customer contracts are considered for recognition and measurement when the contract has been approved by the parties to the contract, the parties to contract are committed to perform their respective obligations under the contract, and the contract is legally enforceable. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. To recognize revenues, the Company applies the following five step approach: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenues when a performance obligation is satisfied. When there is uncertainty as to collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved. At contract inception, the Company assesses its promise to transfer products or services to a customer to identify separate performance obligations. The Company applies judgement to determine whether each product or service promised to a customer is capable of being distinct, and are distinct in the context of the contract, if not, the promised products or services are combined and accounted as a single performance obligation. The Company allocates the arrangement consideration to separately identifiable performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling price or residual method. Standalone selling prices are determined based on sale prices for the components when it is regularly sold separately, in cases where the Company is unable to determine the stand-alone selling price the Company uses third-party prices for similar deliverables or the Company uses expected cost-plus margin approach in estimating the standalone selling price. 320 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
Statutory Reports and Financial Statements Consolidated financial statements under IFRS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) For performance obligations where control is transferred over time, revenues are recognized by measuring progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the promised products or services to be provided. The method for recognizing revenues and costs depends on the nature of the services rendered: A. Time and materials contracts Revenues and costs relating to time and materials contracts are recognized as the related services are rendered. B. Fixed-price contracts i. Fixed-price development contracts Revenues from fixed-price development contracts, including software development, and integration contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time, are recognized using the “percentage-of-completion” method. The performance obligations are satisfied as and when the services are rendered since the customer generally obtains control of the work as it progresses. Percentage of completion is determined based on project costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated project costs required to complete the project. The cost expended (or input) method has been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. If the Company is not able to reasonably measure the progress of completion, revenue is recognized only to the extent of costs incurred, for which recoverability is probable. When total cost estimates exceed revenues in an arrangement, the estimated losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates as an onerous contract provision. A contract asset is a right to consideration that is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time. Contract assets primarily relate to unbilled amounts on fixed-price development contracts and are classified as non-financial asset as the contractual right to consideration is dependent on completion of contractual milestones. A contract liability is an entity’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the entity has received consideration (or the amount is due) from the customer. Unbilled receivables on other than fixed-price development contracts are classified as a financial asset where the right to consideration is unconditional and only the passage of time is required before the payment is due. ii. Maintenance contracts Revenues related to fixed-price maintenance contracts are recognized on a straight-line basis when services are performed through an indefinite number of repetitive acts over a specified period or ratably using percentage of completion method when the pattern of benefits from the services rendered to the customers and the cost to fulfil the contract is not even through the period of contract because the services are generally discrete in nature and not repetitive. Revenue for contracts in which the invoicing is representative of the value being delivered is recognized based on our right to invoice. If our invoicing is not consistent with value delivered, revenues are recognized as the service is performed using the percentage of completion method. In certain projects, a fixed quantum of service or output units is agreed at a fixed price for a fixed term. In such contracts, revenue is recognized with respect to the actual output achieved till date as a percentage of total contractual output. Any residual service unutilized by the customer is recognized as revenue on completion of the term. iii. Element or Volume based contracts Revenues and costs are recognized as the related services are rendered. C. Products Revenue on product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the specified product. D. Others ï¬ Any change in scope or price is considered to be a contract modification. The Company accounts for modifications to existing contracts by assessing whether the services added are distinct and whether the pricing is at the standalone selling price. Services added that are not distinct are accounted for on a cumulative catch up basis, while those that are distinct are accounted for prospectively, either as a separate contract if the additional services are priced at the standalone selling price, or as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract if not priced at the standalone selling price. ï¬ The Company accounts for variable considerations like volume discounts, rebates and pricing incentives to customers and penalties as reduction of revenue on a systematic and rational basis over the period of the contract. The Company estimates an amount of such variable consideration using expected value method or the single most likely Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 321
Consolidated financial statements under IFRS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) amount in a range of possible consideration depending on which method better predicts the amount of consideration to which the Company may be entitled and when it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. ï¬ Revenues are shown net of allowances / returns, sales tax, value added tax, goods and services tax and applicable discounts and allowances. ï¬ The Company accrues the estimated cost of warranties at the time when the revenue is recognized. The accruals are based on the Company’s historical experience of material usage and service delivery costs. ï¬ Incremental costs that relate directly to a contract and incurred in securing a contract with a customer are recognized as an asset when the Company expects to recover these costs and amortized over the contract term. ï¬ The Company recognizes contract fulfilment cost as an asset if those costs specifically relate to a contract or to an anticipated contract, the costs generate or enhance resources that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in future; and the costs are expected to be recovered. The asset so recognized is amortized on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer of goods or services to customer to which the asset relates. ï¬ The Company assesses the timing of the transfer of goods or services to the customer as compared to the timing of payments to determine whether a significant financing component exists. As a practical expedient, the Company does not assess the existence of a significant financing component when the difference between payment and transfer of deliverables is a year or less. If the difference in timing arises for reasons other than the provision of finance to either the customer or us, no financing component is deemed to exist. ï¬ The Company may enter into arrangements with third-party suppliers to resell products or services. In such cases, the Company evaluates whether the Company is the principal (i.e., report revenues on a gross basis) or agent (i.e., report revenues on a net basis). In doing so, the Company first evaluates whether the Company controls the good or service before it is transferred to the customer. If Company controls the good or service before it is transferred to the customer, Company is the principal; if not, the Company is the agent. ï¬ Estimates of transaction price and total costs or efforts are continuously monitored over the term of the contract and are recognized in net profit in the period when these estimates change or when the estimates are revised. Revenues and the estimated total costs or efforts are subject to revision as the contract progresses. (xv) Finance expenses Finance expenses comprises interest cost on borrowings, lease liabilities and net defined benefit liability, gains or losses arising on re-measurement of financial assets measured at FVTPL, net loss on translation or settlement of foreign currency borrowings and changes in fair value and gains / (losses) on settlement of related derivative instruments. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to a qualifying asset are recognized in the consolidated statement of income using the effective interest method. (xvi) Finance and other income Finance and other income comprise interest income on deposits, dividend income, gains / (losses) on disposal of investments and net gain on translation or settlement of foreign currency borrowings. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established. (xvii) Income tax Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the consolidated statement of income except to the extent it relates to a business combination, or items directly recognized in equity or in other comprehensive income. a) Current income tax Current income tax for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the taxable income for the period. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the current tax amounts are those that are enacted or substantively enacted as at the reporting date and applicable for the period. While determining the tax provisions, the Company assesses whether each uncertain tax position is to be considered separately or together with one or more uncertain tax positions depending upon the nature and circumstances of each uncertain tax position. The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and liability simultaneously. b) Deferred income tax Deferred income tax is recognized using the balance sheet approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for deductible and taxable temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in financial statements, except when the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that 322 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
Statutory Reports and Financial Statements Consolidated financial statements under IFRS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profits or loss at the time of the transaction. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences except in respect of taxable temporary differences that is expected to reverse within the tax holiday period, taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and foreign branches where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized, or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The Company offsets deferred income tax assets and liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and they relate to taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity, or on different taxable entities where there is a right and an intention to settle the current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously. (xviii) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period adjusted for treasury shares held. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of equity and dilutive equivalent shares outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method for options, except where the results would be anti-dilutive. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods presented for any splits and bonus shares issues including for change effected prior to the approval of the consolidated financial statements by the Board of Directors. (xix) Statement of cash flows Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the period is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated. (xx) Assets held for sale Sale of business is classified as held for sale, if their carrying amount is intended to be recovered principally through sale rather than through continuing use. The condition for classification as held for sale is met when disposal business is available for immediate sale and the same is highly probable of being completed within one year from the date of classification as held for sale. (xxi) Discontinued operations A discontinued operation is a component of the Company’s business that represents a separate line of business that has been disposed of or is held for sale, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale. (xxii) Disposal of assets The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of assets is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. New Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the Company effective from April 1, 2021: Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Phase 2) The IASB issued Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Phase 2), which amends IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16. The amendments complement those issued in 2019 and focus on the effects on financial statements when a company replaces the old interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate as a result of the reform. The amendments in this final phase relate to the modification of financial assets, financial liabilities and lease liabilities, specific hedge accounting requirements, and disclosure requirements applying IFRS 7 to accompany the amendments regarding modifications and hedge accounting. The adoption of the amendment to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 323
Consolidated financial statements under IFRS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) IFRS 9 – Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards—2018-2020 On May 14, 2020, IASB amended IFRS 9 as part of its Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020. The amendment clarifies which fees an entity includes when it applies the ‘10 percent’ test in paragraph B3.3.6 of IFRS 9 in assessing whether to derecognize a financial liability. The early adoption of amendments to IFRS 9 did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements On February 12, 2021, the IASB amended IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their significant accounting policies. The amendments clarify that accounting policy information may be material because of its nature, even if the related amounts are immaterial. The amendments also clarified that accounting policy information is material if users of an entity’s financial statements would need it to understand other material information in the financial statements; and the amendments clarify that if an entity discloses immaterial accounting policy information, such information shall not obscure material accounting policy information. The early adoption of amendments to IAS 1 did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Amendments to IAS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors On February 12, 2021, the IASB amended IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”. The amendments clarify how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. That distinction is important because changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively only to future transactions and other future events, but changes in accounting policies are generally also applied retrospectively to past transactions and other past events. The early adoption of amendments to IAS 8 did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements. New amendments not yet adopted: Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for annual periods beginning after April 1, 2021 and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that could have potential impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company are: Amendments to IAS 37 – Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract On May 14, 2020, the IASB issued “Onerous Contracts — Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37)”, amending the standard regarding costs a company should include as the cost of fulfilling a contract when assessing whether a contract is onerous. The amendment specifies that the “cost of fulfilling” a contract comprises the “costs that relate directly to the contract”. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts. These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with earlier application permitted. The adoption of amendments to IAS 37 is not expected to have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Amendment to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements On January 23, 2020, the IASB issued “Classification of liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1)” providing a more general approach to the classification of liabilities under IAS 1 based on the contractual arrangement in place at the reporting date. The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies to determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current (due or potentially due to be settled within one year) or non-current. The amendments also clarified the classification requirements for debt a company might settle by converting it into equity. These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and are to be applied retrospectively, with earlier application permitted. The adoption of amendments to IAS 1 is not expected to have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Amendments to IAS 12 – “Income Taxes” On May 7, 2021, the IASB amended IAS 12 “Income Taxes” and published ‘Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12)’ that clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. In specified circumstances, companies are exempt from recognizing deferred tax when they recognize assets or liabilities for the first time. The amendments clarify that this exemption does not apply to transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations and companies are required to recognize deferred tax on such transactions. These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and are to be applied retrospectively, with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of amendment to IAS 12 on the consolidated financial statements. 324 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized

The Company is organized by three operating segments: IT Services, IT Products and India State Run Enterprise Services. Goodwill as at March 31, 2021 and 2022 has been allocated to the IT Services operating segment. Goodwill recognized on business combinations is allocated to Cash Generating Units (CGUs), within the IT Services operating segment, which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisitions.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the Company’s procedure for determining the recoverable value of each CGU. The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on FVLCD. The FVLCD of the CGU is determined based on the market capitalization approach, using the turnover and earnings multiples derived from observable market data. The fair value measurement is categorized as a level 2 fair value based on the inputs in the valuation techniques used. Based on the above testing, no impairment was identified as at March 31, 2021 and 2022, as the recoverable value of the CGUs exceeded the carrying value. A sensitivity analysis to the change in the key parameters (turnover and earnings multiples) did not identify any probable scenarios where the CGU’s recoverable amount would fall below its carrying amount.

Fair value Financial assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, unbilled receivables, finance lease receivables, employee and other advances, eligible current and non-current assets, loans, borrowings and bank overdrafts, trade payables and accrued expenses, and eligible current liabilities and non-current liabilities. Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 339
Consolidated financial statements under IFRS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, unbilled receivables, loans, borrowings and bank overdrafts, trade payables and accrued expenses, other current financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amount largely due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s long-term debt has been contracted at market rates of interest. Accordingly, the carrying value of such long-term debt approximates fair value. Further, finance lease receivables are periodically evaluated based on individual credit worthiness of customers. Based on this evaluation, the Company records allowance for estimated losses on these receivables. As at March 31, 2021 and 2022, the carrying value of such receivables, net of allowances approximates the fair value. Investments in short-term mutual funds and fixed maturity plans, which are classified as FVTPL are measured using net asset values at the reporting date multiplied by the quantity held. Fair value of investments in non-convertible debentures, government securities, commercial papers, certificate of deposits and bonds classified as FVTOCI is determined based on the indicative quotes of price and yields prevailing in the market at the reporting date. Fair value of investments in equity instruments classified as FVTOCI or FVTPL is determined using market multiples method. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined based on observable market inputs including currency spot and forward rates, yield curves, currency volatility etc. Fair value hierarchy The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows: Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Level 3 – Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 and 3 during the year ended March 31, 2022.

Statutory Reports and Financial Statements Consolidated financial statements under IFRS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the level 2 financial instruments included in the above table. Derivative instruments (assets and liabilities): The Company enters derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, primarily banks with investment grade credit ratings. Derivatives valued using valuation techniques with market observable inputs are mainly interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign exchange option contracts. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing, swap models and Black Scholes models (for option valuation), using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, interest rate curves and forward rate curves of the underlying. As at March 31, 2022, the changes in counterparty credit risk had no material effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedge relationships and other financial instruments recognized at fair value. Investment in non-convertible debentures, government securities, commercial papers, certificate of deposits and bonds: Fair value of these instruments is derived based on the indicative quotes of price and yields prevailing in the market as at reporting date. Investment in equity instruments and fixed maturity plan mutual funds: Fair value of these instruments is derived based on the indicative quotes of price prevailing in the market as at reporting date. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the level 3 financial instruments included in the above table.

The related hedge transactions for balance in cash flow hedging reserves as at March 31, 2022 are expected to occur and be reclassified to the consolidated statement of income over a period of one year. As at March 31, 2021 and 2022 there were no significant gains or losses on derivative transactions or portions thereof that have become ineffective as hedges or associated with an underlying exposure that did not occur. Sale of financial assets From time to time, in the normal course of business, the Company transfers accounts receivables, unbilled receivables, net investment in finance lease receivables (financial assets) to banks. Under the terms of the arrangements, the Company surrenders control over the financial assets and transfer is without recourse. Accordingly, such transfers are recorded as sale of financial assets. Gains and losses on sale of financial assets without recourse are recorded at the time of sale based on the carrying value of the financial assets and fair value of servicing liability. The incremental impact of such transactions on our cash flow and liquidity for the year ended March 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 is not material. In certain cases, transfer of financial assets may be with recourse. Under arrangements with recourse, the Company is obligated to repurchase the uncollected financial assets, subject to limits specified in the agreement with the banks. These are reflected as part of loans and borrowings in the consolidated statement of financial position. Financial risk management Market Risk Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, to fair values or to future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments, foreign currency receivables, payables and loans and borrowings. The Company’s exposure to market risk is a function of investment and borrowing activities and revenue generating activities in foreign currency. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure of the Company’s earnings and equity to losses. Risk Management Procedures The Company manages market risk through a corporate treasury department, which evaluates and exercises independent control over the entire process of market risk management. The corporate treasury department recommends risk management objectives and policies, which are approved by senior management and Audit Committee. The activities of this department include management of cash resources, implementing hedging strategies for foreign currency exposures, borrowing strategies, and ensuring compliance with market risk limits and policies. Foreign currency risk The Company operates internationally, and a major portion of its business is transacted in several currencies. Consequently, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through receiving payment for sales and services in the United States of America Integrated Annual Report 2021-22 343
Consolidated financial statements under IFRS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) and elsewhere and making purchases from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies. The exchange rate risk primarily arises from foreign exchange revenue, receivables, cash balances, forecasted cash flows, payables and foreign currency loans and borrowings. A significant portion of the Company’s revenue is in the U.S. Dollar, the Pound Sterling, the Euro, the Canadian Dollar and the Australian Dollar, while a large portion of costs are in Indian rupees. The exchange rate between the rupee and these currencies has fluctuated significantly in recent years and may continue to fluctuate in the future. Appreciation of the rupee against these currencies can adversely affect the Company’s results of operations. The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from these transactions and enters foreign currency derivative instruments to mitigate such exposure. The Company follows established risk management policies, including the use of derivatives like foreign exchange forward/option contracts to hedge forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currency. The Company has designated certain derivative instruments as cash flow hedges to mitigate the foreign exchange exposure of forecasted highly probable cash flows. The Company also designates foreign currency borrowings as hedge against respective net investments in foreign operations. As at March 31, 2022, a ` 1 increase in the spot exchange rate of the Indian rupee with the U.S. dollar would result in approximately ` 3,159 (consolidated statement of income ` 1,366 and other comprehensive income ` 1,793) decrease in the fair value, and a ` 1 decrease would result in approximately ` 3,165 (consolidated statement of income ` 1,366 and other comprehensive income ` 1,799) increase in the fair value of foreign currency dollar denominated derivative instruments (forward and option contracts).

Interest rate risk Interest rate risk primarily arises from floating rate borrowing, including various revolving and other lines of credit. The Company’s investments are primarily in short-term investments, which do not expose it to significant interest rate risk. From time to time, the Company manages its net exposure to interest rate risk relating to borrowings by entering into interest rate swap agreements, which allows it to exchange periodic payments based on a notional amount and agreed upon fixed and floating interest rates. Certain borrowings are also transacted at fixed interest rates. If interest rates were to increase by 100 bps as on March 31, 2022, additional net annual interest expense on floating rate borrowing would amount to approximately ` 951. 344 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized
Statutory Reports and Financial Statements Consolidated financial statements under IFRS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) Credit risk Credit risk arises from the possibility that customers may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the credit rating and financial reliability of customers, considering the financial condition, current economic trends, forward looking macroeconomic information, analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable as at March 31, 2021 and 2022, or revenues for the year ended March 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022. There is no significant concentration of credit risk. Counterparty risk Counterparty risk encompasses issuer risk on marketable securities, settlement risk on derivative and money market contracts and credit risk on cash and time deposits. Issuer risk is minimized by only buying securities which are at least AA rated in India based on Indian rating agencies. Settlement and credit risk is reduced by the policy of entering into transactions with counterparties that are usually banks or financial institutions with acceptable credit ratings. Exposure to these risks are closely monitored and maintained within predetermined parameters. There are limits on credit exposure to any financial institution. The limits are regularly assessed and determined based upon credit analysis including financial statements and capital adequacy ratio reviews. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. The Company’s corporate treasury department is responsible for liquidity and funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company’s net liquidity position through rolling forecasts based on the expected cash flows. As at March 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents are held with major banks and financial institutions. The table below provides details regarding the remaining contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts include estimated interest payments and exclude the impact of netting agreements, if any.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Deferred taxes on unrealized foreign exchange gain / loss relating to cash flow hedges, fair value movements in investments and remeasurements of the defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income. Deferred tax liability on the intangible assets identified and carry forward losses on acquisitions is recorded by an adjustment to goodwill. Other than these, the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities is primarily recorded in the consolidated statement of income. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers the extent to which it is probable that the deferred tax asset will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable profits during the periods in which those temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards become deductible. The Company considers the expected reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on this, the Company believes that it is probable that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences. The amount of deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if the estimates of future taxable income during the carry-forward period are reduced. Deferred tax asset amounting to ‘ 8,676 and ‘ 8,017 as at March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively in respect of unused tax losses have not been recognized by the Company. The tax loss carry-forwards of ‘ 31,993 and ‘ 32,117 as at March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively, on which deferred tax asset has not been recognized by the Company, because it is probable that future taxable profits will not be available against which the unused tax losses can be utilized in the foreseeable future. Approximately, ‘ 17,691 and ‘ 29,993 as at March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively, of these tax loss carry-forwards is not currently subject to expiration dates. The remaining tax loss carry-forwards of approximately ‘ 14,302 and ‘ 2,124 as at March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively, expires in various years through fiscal year 2038. The Company has recognized deferred tax assets of ‘ 1,637 and ‘ 2,144 primarily in respect of carry forward losses including certain subsidiaries as at March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. Management’s projections of future taxable income and tax planning strategies support the assumption that it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to utilize these deferred tax assets. We have calculated our domestic tax liability under normal provisions. Accordingly, no deferred tax asset has been recognized towards MAT in the statement of financial position for the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2022. The effective MAT rate is 17.47%. The excess tax paid under MAT provisions over and above normal tax liability can be carried forward for a period of fifteen years and set-off against future tax liabilities computed under normal tax provisions.

Consolidated financial statements under IFRS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements A substantial portion of the profits of the Company’s India operations are exempt from Indian income taxes being profits attributable to export operations and profits from units established under the Special Economic Zone Act, 2005 scheme. Units in designated special economic zones providing service on or after April 1, 2005 will be eligible for a deduction of 100 percent of profits or gains derived from the export of services for the first five years from commencement of provision of services and 50 percent of such profits and gains for a further five years. 50% tax deduction is available for a further five years subject to the unit meeting certain defined conditions. Profits from certain other undertakings are also eligible for preferential tax treatment. New Special Economic Zone units set up on or after April 1, 2021 are not eligible for the aforesaid deduction. The tax holiday period being currently available to the Company expires in various years through fiscal 2034-35. The impact of tax holidays has resulted in a decrease of current tax expense of ‘ 11,963, ‘ 11,458 and ‘ 16,483 for the years ended March 31,2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively, compared to the effective tax amounts that we estimate the Company would have been required to pay if these incentives had not been available. The per share effect of these tax incentives for the years ended March 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 was ‘ 2.05, ‘ 2.03, and ‘ 3.02, respectively. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences except in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, deferred income tax liabilities on cumulative earnings of subsidiaries amounting to ‘ 59,793 and ‘ 94,029 as at March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively and branch profit tax @ 15% of the US branch profit have not been recognized. Further, it is not practicable to estimate the amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for these undistributed earnings. Dividends and Buyback of equity shares The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian rupees. According to the Companies Act, 2013 any dividend should be declared out of accumulated distributable profits. A Company may, before the declaration of any dividend, transfer a percentage of its profits for that financial year as it may consider appropriate to the reserves. The cash dividends paid per equity share were ‘ 1, ‘ 1 and ‘ 1, during the years ended March 31,2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively, including an interim dividend of ‘ 1, ‘ 1 (‘ in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) and ‘ 1 for the year ended March 31,2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The Board of Directors in their meeting held on March 25, 2022, declared an interim dividend of ‘ 5/- (US$ 0.07) per equity share and ADR (250% on an equity share of par value of ‘ 2/-). Consequently, the Company has recorded a liability of ‘ 27,337 as at March 31, 2022 and this has been paid subsequently on April 19, 2022. During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company concluded the buyback of 323,076,923 equity shares as approved by the Board of Directors on April 16, 2019. This has resulted in a total cash outflow of ‘ 105,000. In line with the requirement of the Companies Act, 2013, an amount of ‘ 105,000 has been utilized from retained earnings. Further, capital redemption reserve (included in other reserves) of ‘ 646 (representing the nominal value of the shares bought back) has been created as an apportionment from retained earnings. Consequent to such buyback, the paid-up equity share capital has reduced by ‘ 646. During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company concluded the buyback of 237,500,000 equity shares as approved by the Board of Directors on October 13, 2020. This has resulted in a total cash outflow of ‘ 116,445 (including tax on buyback of ‘ 21,445). In line with the requirement of the Companies Act, 2013, an amount of ‘ 1,427 and ‘ 115,018 has been utilized from share premium and retained earnings respectively. Further, capital redemption reserve (included in other reserves) of ‘ 475 (representing the nominal value of the shares bought back) has been created as an apportionment from retained earnings. Consequent to such buyback, the paid-up equity share capital has reduced by ‘ 475. Additional capital disclosures The key objective of the Company’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a stable capital structure with the focus on total equity to uphold investor, creditor, and customer confidence and to ensure future development of its business. The Company’s focus is to keep strong total equity base to ensure independence, security, as well as a high financial flexibility for potential future borrowings, if required without impacting the risk profile of the Company. The Company’s goal is to continue to be able to return excess liquidity to shareholders by continuing to distribute annual dividends in future periods. The amount of future dividends/ buyback of equity shares will be balanced with efforts to continue to maintain an adequate liquidity status. 350 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized

Revenue Contract Assets and Liabilities The Company classifies its right to consideration in exchange for deliverables as either a receivable or a contract asset. A receivable is a right to consideration that is unconditional. A right to consideration is unconditional if only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. For example, the Company recognizes a receivable for revenues related to time and materials contracts or volume based contracts. The Company presents such receivables as part of unbilled receivables at their net estimated realizable value. The same is tested for impairment as per the guidance in IFRS 9 using expected credit loss method. Contract liabilities: During the year ended March 31,2021 and March 31,2022, the Company recognized revenue of ‘ 16,082 and ‘ 18,880 arising from contract liabilities as at March 31,2020 and March 31,2021 respectively. Contract assets: During the year ended March 31,2021 and March 31,2022, ‘ 15,101 and ‘ 13,944 of contract assets pertaining to fixed-price development contracts have been reclassified to receivables on completion of milestones. Contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Remaining Performance Obligations Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes contract liabilities and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. Applying the practical expedient, the Company has not disclosed its right to consideration from customers in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date, which are contracts invoiced on time and material basis and volume based. As at March 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations, other than those meeting the exclusion criteria above, were ‘ 360,033, ‘ 384,881 and ‘ 328,191, respectively of which approximately 62%, 59% and 59% respectively is expected to be recognized as revenues within two years, and the remainder thereafter. This includes contracts with a substantive enforceable termination penalty if the contract is terminated without cause by the customer, based on an overall assessment of the contract carried out at the time of inception. Historically, customers have not terminated contracts without cause.

The principal assumptions used for the purpose of actuarial valuation of these defined benefit plans are as follows: As at March 31,2021 As at March 31,2022 Discount rate 4.69% 4.54% Expected return on plan assets 4.69% 4.54% Expected rate of salary increase 6.57% 6.12% Duration of defined benefit obligations 9 years 8 years The expected return on plan assets is based on expectation of the average long-term rate of return expected on investments of the fund during the estimated term of the obligations. The discount rate is primarily based on the prevailing market yields of government securities for the estimated term of the obligations. The estimates of future salary increase considered takes into account the inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors. Attrition rate considered is the management’s estimate, based on previous years’ employee turnover of the Company. 358 Wipro Limited | Ambitions Realized

The sensitivity analysis to significant actuarial assumptions may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligations as the change in assumptions may not occur in isolation since some of the assumptions may be correlated. Furthermore, in presenting the sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligations has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognized in the statement of financial position.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Consolidated financial statements under IFRS 33. Commitments and contingencies Capital commitments: As at March 31, 2021 and 2022, the Company had committed to spend approximately ` 7,490 and ` 11,376 respectively, under agreements to purchase/ construct property and equipment. These amounts are net of capital advances paid in respect of these purchases. Guarantees: As at March 31, 2021 and 2022, guarantees provided by banks on behalf of the Company to the Indian Government, customers and certain other agencies amount to approximately ` 17,128 and ` 17,094 respectively, as part of the bank line of credit. Contingencies and lawsuits: The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims resulting from tax assessment orders/penalty notices issued under the Income-tax Act, 1961, which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. Some of the claims involve complex issues and it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the expected financial effect, if any, that will result from ultimate resolution of such proceedings. However, the resolution of these legal proceedings is not likely to have a material and adverse effect on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company. The Company’s assessments are completed for the years up to March 31, 2018. The Company has received demands on multiple tax issues. These claims are primarily arising out of denial of deduction under section 10A of the Income-tax Act, 1961 in respect of profit earned by the Company’s undertaking in Software Technology Park at Bengaluru, the appeals filed against the said demand before the Appellate authorities have been allowed in favor of the Company by the second appellate authority for the years up to March 31, 2008 which either has been or may be contested by the Income tax authorities before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India. Other claims relate to disallowance of tax benefits on profits earned from Software Technology Park and Special Economic Zone units, capitalization of research and development expenses, transfer pricing adjustments on intercompany / inter unit transactions and other issues. Income tax claims against the Company amounting to ` 80,032 and ` 92,476 are not acknowledged as debt as at March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. These matters are pending before various Appellate Authorities and the management expects its position will likely be upheld on ultimate resolution and will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The contingent liability in respect of disputed demands for excise duty, custom duty, sales tax and other matters amounting to ` 11,413 and ` 12,092 as of March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. However, the resolution of these disputed demands is not likely to have a material and adverse effect on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company. (` in millions, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated) The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, through a ruling in February 2019, provided interpretation on the components of Salary on which the Company and its employees are to contribute towards Provident Fund under the Employee’s Provident Fund Act. Based on the current evaluation, the Company believes it is not probable that certain components of Salary paid by the Company will be subject to contribution towards Provident Fund due to the Hon’ble Supreme Court order. The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate its position based on future events and developments. Segment information The Company is organized into the following operating segments: IT Services, IT Products and India State Run Enterprise segment (“ISRE”). IT Services: During the year ended March 31, 2021, in order to broad base our growth, the Company re-organized IT Services segment to four Strategic Market Units (“SMUs”)— Americas 1, Americas 2, Europe and Asia Pacific Middle East Africa (“APMEA”). Americas 1 and Americas 2 are primarily organized by industry sector, while Europe and APMEA are organized by countries. Americas 1 includes the entire business of Latin America (“LATAM”) and the following industry sectors in the United States of America: healthcare and medical devices, consumer goods and life sciences, retail, transportation and services, communications, media and information services, technology products and platforms. Americas 2 includes the entire business in Canada and the following industry sectors in the United States of America: banking, financial services and insurance, manufacturing, hi-tech, energy and utilities. Europe consists of the United Kingdom and Ireland, Switzerland, Germany, Benelux, the Nordics and Southern Europe. APMEA consists of Australia and New Zealand, India, Middle East, South East Asia, Japan and Africa. The corresponding information for the year ended March 31, 2020 have been re-stated to give effect to the above changes. Revenue from each customer is attributed to the respective SMUs based on the location of the customer’s primary buying center of such services. With respect to certain strategic global customers, revenue may be generated from multiple countries based on such customer’s buying centers, but the total revenue related to these strategic global customers are attributed to a single SMU based on the geographical location of key decision makers. Prior to the Company’s re-organization of its IT services segment, the IT services segment was organized by seven industry verticals: Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (“BFSI”), Health Business unit (“Health BU”), Consumer Business unit (“CBU”), Energy, Natural Resources and Utilities (“ENU”), Manufacturing (“MFG”), Technology (“TECH”) and Communications (“COMM”).

The transaction was consummated on April 1, 2021. The fair value of net assets acquired aggregating to ` 4,691 is allocated to respective assets and liabilities. The excess of consideration paid, and net assets taken over is accounted as ‘costs to obtain contract’, which will be amortized over the tenure of the contract as reduction in revenues. 36.The Indian Parliament has approved the Code on Social Security, 2020 which would impact the contributions by the Company towards Provident Fund and Gratuity.
