BLOOMBERG

INTERVIEW WITH SURESH SENAPATY, CFO

CORRESPONDENT: India's largest traded software company Wipro says first quarter
profit has gained 43%. To talk more about Wipro's earnings, the company's Chief
Financial Officer, Suresh Senapathy, in Bangalore, joins me on the line now.
Welcome to the program. So, what is behind the first quarter numbers?

SURESH: Well, what is behind is we had revenue of $195 million for our global IT
services business, which is ahead of what the guidance that we had given last
quarter, and the strong sequential revenue growth of about 6.4% in dollar terms
was driven by 5% growth in IT services and 19% growth in IT-enabled services. We
continue to see traction in volumes though there is a softening in the prices,
and the enterprise segment continues to show strong growth.

CORRESPONDENT: What were the operating margins for the software business in the
quarter?

SURESH: Operating margins for the software business for the quarter is about
22.2%.

CORRESPONDENT: How do you perceive competition from global players such as
Accenture that are expanding in India?

SURESH: Well, you know, it is not new that Accenture is coming in to India and
the other MNCs are coming into India, they have been there for quite sometime,
though they are making aggressive attempts here. I suppose everybody has a place
to play in this. The pie is large for the MNCs as well as the Indian companies.
We have certain unique advantages in terms of the G&A cost as well as some of
the quality processes that we have, whether it is CMM level 5 or PCMM level 5,
on which we will always have a significant advantage vis-a-vis the increased
customer satisfaction and the profitability.

CORRESPONDENT: Now you talked about customer satisfaction; are customers still
pushing lower prices, if so by how much?

SURESH: Oh yes, it is an ongoing process because as you know there has been
difficult environment which the customers are facing in US and other overseas
markets. Most of the offshoring is happening primarily with a view to take out
cost, there are continuous pressures, but the way to mitigate that is:

      a.    Enhance the high profitability or high realization services going up
            the value chain,

      b.    Doing more and more offshore business,

      c.    Enhancing utilization and sort of controlling the general
            administration cost, where we should be able to mitigate as much of
            the price pressure as possible.

CORRESPONDENT: Were the earnings reduced by cost related to the acquisition of
NerveWire?
<PAGE>
SURESH: Yes, and even if you look at our segmental board we have given the
separate numbers for NerveWire. NerveWire we had about Rs. 105 million, which is
about $2.2 million of operating loss for the quarter and going forward I suppose
for another one or two quarters we will continue to have losses till such time
we fully turn it around by enhancing on the synergy area.

CORRESPONDENT: Alright, thank you very much for your participation in the
program today, Chief Financial Officer.

SURESH: My pleasure, thank you very much.
