The university vibe is no mistake. With Indian outsourcers booming, pressure is intense to find the right employees and quickly get them up to speed.
Wipro, whose revenue hit $3.4 billion last year, has perhaps the most ambitious training program: A span of buildings is devoted solely to education, with all the library, classroom, lab, and lecture-hall trappings of a university.
The expansive offerings, ranging from Japanese to advanced engineering, rival those of many universities in the United States. There are 300 professors on staff, who typically earn more than they would at Indian universities, and hundreds more are "shared" with top local schools.
