Wipro on Monday announced the relocation of its West Asia regional headquarters from Al Khobar to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The new office in Riyadh was the latest addition to Wipro’s growing presence in the region, which included offices in Riyadh, Al Khobar, Jeddah, and Jubail, the company said.

“The inauguration of Wipro’s new regional headquarters in Riyadh marks a significant milestone that contributes to accelerating the growth of the Kingdom’s digital economy,” said Mohammed AlRobayan, Deputy Minister for Technology at the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT).

In addition to this new office opening, Wipro recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University (PMU) to establish a Center of Excellence (CoE) in Riyadh. This partnership aims to upskill local talent by providing academic training in advanced technologies, hands-on experience, and access to Wipro’s resources, according to the company. “The establishment of our new regional headquarters in Riyadh reaffirms our commitment to supporting the dynamic business landscape in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” said Vinay Firake, CEO – Asia Pacific, India, Middle East & Africa (APMEA), Wipro Limited.

This commitment was strengthened by the recent appointment of Mohamed Mousa as company’s new Managing Director for Wipro Middle East, based in Riyadh, Wipro said.
