Wipro Relocates Middle East HQ to Riyadh, Boosts Saudi Digital Vision

Wipro Limited, a global technology services and consulting company, has announced the relocation of its Middle East regional headquarters from Al Khobar to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The move underscores Wipro’s continued commitment to expanding its footprint in the region and supporting the Kingdom’s digital transformation initiatives.

The new office in Riyadh was inaugurated in a ceremony attended by Wipro's executive leadership, employees, and key customers.

Supporting Saudi Arabia’s Digital Vision

The relocation is in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to establish the Kingdom as a global hub for technology and innovation. Mohammed AlRobayan, Deputy Minister for Technology at the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), highlighted the strategic importance of this move, stating, “The inauguration of Wipro's new regional headquarters in Riyadh marks a significant milestone that contributes to accelerating the growth of the Kingdom's digital economy.”

He further noted Wipro’s investment in developing national talent as vital to achieving long-term sustainability in the tech sector.

Strengthening Local Talent Through Education

In a parallel development, Wipro has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University (PMU) to establish a Center of Excellence (CoE) in Riyadh. This initiative is designed to upskill young Saudi nationals in advanced technologies, offering academic training, practical experience, and access to Wipro’s vast resources. The CoE aims to create a strong talent pipeline to support both local enterprises and the broader digital ecosystem.

Leadership and Regional Growth

The relocation is also marked by a leadership update, with Mohamed Mousa appointed as the new Managing Director for Wipro Middle East, operating out of the Riyadh headquarters. Vinay Firake, CEO of APMEA at Wipro, emphasised the importance of this strategic move in strengthening Wipro’s regional leadership and fostering a future-ready workforce.
