Wipro Aerospace Efforts - Simulators, Flight Control, Precision Engineering...
Wipro aligns efforts on aerospace target
Indian outsourcing company Wipro Ltd. is attempting to fly a handful of design efforts and partnerships into formation to make an assault on the rapidly growing aerospace market in India and around the region.
An executive from the company estimates the combined military and civilian aerospace market in India has grown 50 percent over the last four years. It now represents about 15 percent of the $110 billion and rising sector in Asia, driven in part by growth in a number of national airlines serving a rising middle class. Japan accounts for about 26 percent of the Asian aerospace market, followed by China and India.
Wipro has so far identified four opportunities as part of an ongoing study the company is conducting. They include network-centric command and control systems, simulators, precision engineering and flight control systems.
