Wipro, India�s third-largest information technology (IT) services company, has appointed two insiders as its chief information officer (CIO) and head of global operations. Both these roles were handled by Laxman K Badiga, who took �voluntary retirement� earlier this month after over three decades of service.

The company elevated Ramesh Nagarajan, who was the chief operating officer (COO) of Financial Solutions in the banking, financial services and insurance division of Wipro Technologies, as its CIO. Similarly, it brought back Hariprasad Hegde, who was heading Wipro Water, as its global head of operations.

Meanwhile, Badiga, 56, has joined Dallas-headquartered Anthelio, an IT solutions provider, as its COO.
