Ayres said the Launch Pad is built open the NSW Government’s commitment to help businesses transform and adapt to a new way of working. The NSW Government has invested $1.6 billion into a Digital Restart Fund to make NSW the digital capital of the Southern Hemisphere.

“Our relationship with India is focused on creating strong pathways for trade and investment, with a particular emphasis on the digital and technology sectors. I’m delighted to see the strength of NSW’s relationship with India celebrated in Western Sydney. Wipro started its journey in Australia more than 15 years ago and now has more than 1000 employees in NSW alone,” Ayres said.

Wipro’s Senior Vice President and Business Head of Asia Pacific & Japan, Manoj Nagpaul, said Wipro is seeing rising demand from clients in the Asia Pacific region.

“This state-of-the-art centre focuses on delivering the best of Wipro offerings on Amazon Web Services to meet this demand and enable digital transformation for our clients,” Nagpaul said.
