Wipro sees better growth next year

Country's third largest IT services provider Wipro today painted an optimistic picture on the growth front in FY 2015, but also cautioned that hiring will not be commensurate with the revenue expansion.

Stating that the growth has picked up on the back of recovery in the US market, Kurien said, "However, the concerns on the US Immigration Bill remains there."
