Wipro is mostly looking to hire executives, who have experience in areas such as cloud computing, analytics, artificial intelligence and automation.
India's leading information technology firm Wipro's newly-appointed digital unit head Rajan Kohli recently said that they may look at acquisitions to grow the service line.
Wipro aims to make its digital business as one of its top three service lines within the next three years. Kohli also mentioned that they will soon hire more specialised talent for the newly-created digital unit.
"We are obviously looking to hire people with a different set of skills, who will also be compensated differently from the rest of the organisation," said Kohli.
Kohli was earlier heading Wipro's banking and financial services business prior to his elevation as head of digital. In his new role, Kohli will report directly to CEO TK Kurien.
