With the developments in Satyam Computer unfolding shocking irregularities, Wipro Technologies, a NYSE-listed company, on Wednesday said this incident is one of its kind and is unlikely to affect the industry.

"We are shocked by the recent news reports on Satyam, stating alleged multi-year misstatement of revenues.

"Wipro strongly condemns any attempt to mislead stakeholders. Global standards of corporate transparency are very high and we are confident that this is an isolated case and not representative of the IT industry," Wipro Limited Executive Director and CFO Suresh Senapaty said.
