Wipro sued its CFO for joining Cognizant

Wipro has been undergoing a significant restructuring under Pallia, aiming to address the talent drain that began during Delaporte’s tenure. The company has faced over 20 senior departures in the past two years, with the most notable being former CFO Jatin Dalal’s move to rival Cognizant. Dalal, along with another senior healthcare vertical head who also happened to join Cognizant, was sued by Wipro for breaching the non-compete agreement. However, both parties settled the lawsuits last month.
