About

Prior to joining Wipro, a leading information technology, consulting and outsourcing company, Inderpreet Sawhney gained five year’s in-house experience at ITC, and 14 years at Silicon Valley law firm The Chugh Firm. Her skills were highly valued there with one source describing her as a ‘thorough professional who amalgamates effectively a client’s requirement with great value-added inputs’. In November 2011, Wipro announced it had appointed Sawhney as its senior vice president and general counsel with T K Kurien, CEO IT business and executive director, quoted as saying that ‘Inderpreet brings with her a wealth of transnational experience, which I am confident will benefit Wipro immensely. Her experience coupled with a passion for excellence and an unflinching integrity makes her an ideal choice to lead Wipro’s legal function’. Heading Wipro’s global legal function, Sawhney has upheld the company’s business ethic, in a transparent and responsible manner. Her recent work includes securing the acquisition of Zhongshan Ma Er, a family-run Chinese business, for Wipro Consumer Care and Lighting as it leverages its position in the South China market.
