Wipro's new CEO Srinivas Pallia, who took over the reins from Thierry Delaporte, has challenging tasks cut out in reviving the company's fortunes, retaining key leaders and restoring morale as he faces tough quarters, weak global cues and discerning shareholders at the USD 11 billion IT services firm, industry watchers say.
