Wipro has been a prime beneficiary of the outsourcing boom that has taken place in India throughout the 2000s. The company's revenue grew by 450% from 2002 to 2007. That said, this success has led to higher salaries (wages have been growing by more than 14% per year since 2005), putting pressure on the company's margins.^[1] Moreover, Wipro's model is personnel intensive and its continued rapid growth will depend on the ability of the company to successfully attract large amounts of skilled labor - a scarce resource in a tight labor market.
