Wipro onboarding delays

This issue highlights the challenges in the IT sector's employment practices and the role of labor unions in addressing corporate accountability, providing useful context for discussions on industrial policy and labor welfare.

Notes

NITES (Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate) has petitioned the Union Labour Minister regarding onboarding delays for over 200 freshers at Wipro Ltd.
The affected candidates were selected under the 'Elite Hiring 2025' process, with recruitment rounds occurring in February 2025.
Candidates received offer letters in July 2025 and Letters of Intent in August 2025, followed by a reconfirmation survey in December 2025.
Despite fulfilling all procedural requirements, candidates have not received a definitive joining date.
The delay has resulted in financial uncertainty, loss of alternative employment opportunities, and emotional distress for the candidates.
Wipro maintains that onboarding is contingent upon business requirements and remains committed to the process.
