IT services company Wipro has appointed Angan Guha as President and Chief Executive Officer of its Americas 2 Strategic Market Unit, marking his return to the company after serving as Global CEO and Managing Director of Birlasoft.
The appointment will take effect on December 8, 2026, according to Wipro's regulatory filing dated November 6. Guha will report directly to Wipro CEO and Managing Director Srini Pallia and become a member of the company's Executive Leadership Team.
In his new role, Guha will oversee business operations across banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), energy and utilities, and manufacturing within the Americas 2 market.
His responsibilities will include strengthening client relationships, supporting business growth and expanding Wipro's presence across these industry segments.
The appointment marks Guha's return to a business unit he previously led before moving to Birlasoft in 2022.
Guha spent more than 28 years at Wipro, holding several senior leadership positions, including CEO of the Americas 2 business unit. He was also part of the company's leadership team during his earlier tenure.
He subsequently joined Birlasoft as CEO and Managing Director in December 2022, where he was responsible for the company's business strategy, operations and growth initiatives.
Guha brings more than three decades of experience in the technology services industry, covering digital transformation, enterprise technology and client management across multiple geographies.
Commenting on the appointment, Pallia said Guha's experience in business growth, innovation and execution would support Wipro's efforts to strengthen its Americas operations.
He added that the company expects Guha's leadership to contribute to growth, deeper customer relationships and improved business outcomes.
Guha said he was looking forward to returning to Wipro at a time when artificial intelligence was creating new opportunities for enterprise technology transformation.
He indicated that his focus would include helping customers navigate changes in the AI landscape while building on Wipro's existing consulting and technology capabilities.
The leadership change follows the departure of Suzanne Dann, who previously headed Wipro's Americas 2 Strategic Market Unit and stepped down in April 2026 to pursue opportunities outside the company.
Guha's return comes as Wipro continues to focus on improving growth across its technology services business.
For the September quarter of FY27, Wipro reported flat sequential revenue growth in constant currency terms, while year-on-year growth stood at 0.6%.
The company also projected IT services revenue growth between a decline of 1.5% and an increase of 0.5% in constant currency terms for the December quarter.
Separately, Birlasoft has announced the appointment of Madhavan Hariharan as its CEO and Managing Director, effective December 8, succeeding Guha.
Guha holds an Electronics Engineering degree from the University of Pune and has completed management programmes at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business.
Wipro has not announced additional organisational changes or specific revenue targets associated with his appointment.
