Briefly describe the nominated organization or individual: history and past performance (up to 1,250 characters):

Wipro is a globally recognized leader in technology, consulting, and business process services, with over 20 years of proven excellence in sales transformation and value creation. Wipro partners with more than 100 global clients, delivering scalable, outcome-driven sales solutions across industries and markets. Over the last decade, Wipro has been consistently recognized for its data and analytics leadership-named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant(TM) for Data & Analytics Service Providers and classified as a Leader in Everest Group's Data & Analytics (D&A) Services PEAK Matrix® (2024). Prior to July 2023, while Wipro consistently delivered strong operational performance, sales success across enterprises was largely measured through activity-based metrics such as volumes, turnaround times, and SLA adherence. This approach, while effective operationally, offered limited visibility into true business value or unrealized growth opportunities, including revenue leakage, stalled pipeline and post-sale churn Recognizing this gap, Wipro initiated a strategic shift toward value-based selling, moving beyond effort-based delivery to an outcome-oriented model. The organization began aligning sales execution, quality, analytics, and AI into a unified framework designed to recover lost revenue, protect existing revenue, and accelerate sustainable growth. This evolution marked a fundamental transition-from being a service provider to becoming a revenue and value realization partner for our clients. In response, Wipro accelerated a strategic shift to value-based selling-moving beyond effort based delivery to an outcome-led, lifecycle approach that aligns sales execution, quality, analytics, and AI to recover, protect, and grow revenue. The shift is already delivering measurable impact, including 12% QoQ improvement in revenue realization , 18% reduction in churn, , 20% reduction in no-answer cases, and a +17-point CSAT improvement-positioning Wipro as a value realization partner

Outline the nominated achievements since July 1, 2023 that you wish to bring to the judges' attention (up to 1,500 characters):

The impact since July 2023 has been significant. In less than 12 months, the value-based selling program has delivered measurable business outcomes for Wipro's clients, far beyond traditional call stats. These gains drove a 12% quarter-on-quarter increase in revenue realization for clients, directly linking Wipro's efforts to their top-line growth Key results include an 18% reduction in post-sale churn, a 22% increase in "customer stickiness" (continued engagement from onboarded customers), and a 2× improvement in book-of-business coverage (Wipro now Internal - General Use addresses twice as many viable opportunities in each client's portfolio). Additionally, customer experience markedly improved - no-answer rates in outreach dropped 20%, and a new "Sales Journey CSAT" score jumped by 17 points, indicating customers felt a much better quality of engagement in sales calls. We implemented a Wipro Sales ValueMax Framework across business that quantifies and realizes value across the full sales lifecycle-Acquisition Onboarding Account Management-and across each touchpoint (before, during, and after interactions). For each opportunity, we translate customer needs into a value case (revenue upside, churn saved, faster time-to-value, and reduced effort), and then embed those actions into execution using AI enabled workflow support, lifecycle analytics, quality governance, and revenue recovery engines.

1. Before interaction (prioritize value & identify leakage): Data-led lead prioritization, outreach planning, and smart scheduling focus seller time on the highest-value opportunities while detecting leakage risks (stalled pipeline, dormant accounts) for recovery plays. Results: 20% reduction in no-answer cases and improved coverage of priority opportunities.
2. During interaction (value articulation & fit): Guided discovery, structured decisioning, and real time support improve consultative conversations, objection handling, and clarity of implementation steps-captured through Sales Journey CSAT to measure experience quality, not just closure. Results: 75% increase in pitch calls, 15% improvement in objection-handling quality, and +17 point CSAT improvement.
3. After interaction (adoption, assurance & recovery): Standardized follow-through, next-step execution, and continuous quality checks create a closed loop from insights to coaching and playbook updates. Win-back, growth-back, and revenue assurance motions recover lost revenue, expand existing customers, and prevent leakage. Results: 18% churn reduction, 22% increase in customer stickiness, 2x book coverage improvement, and 12% QoQ increase in revenue realization

Explain why the achievements you have highlighted are unique or significant. If possible compare the achievements to the performance of other players in your industry and/or to the organization's past performance (up to 1,500 characters):

Wipro's achievements are unique because value-based selling is not treated as a sales philosophy or reporting layer-it is engineered into revenue ownership and execution. Internal - General Use

Unlike conventional models that focus on dashboards or advisory recommendations, Wipro's approach is distinguished by:

• Lifecycle-anchored framework engineered for value delivery: Value is measured across the entire sales lifecycle, not only at deal closure, ensuring sustained revenue impact.
• People + Tech = Closed Loop: Insights from sales quality, customer behavior, and performance data continuously inform seller actions in real time.
• Monetizable value pillars: Win-Back, Growth-Back, and Revenue Assurance explicitly tie sales activity to recovered, protected, and accelerated revenue. - Shared Success (Skin in the Game): Wipro shares accountability through gain-share and hybrid pricing models, shifting from vendor economics to shared success.
• Scalability across industries: The framework is repeatable and industry-agnostic, proven across digital advertising, telecom, and platform ecosystems. - Incentive structure to drive high-impact business outcomes
• Broader industry impact: As a result of Wipro's success, several clients have expanded the scope of work, asking Wipro to bring the value-based model into new regions and product lines. In some cases, Wipro is now training the client's internal sales teams on certain ValueMax practices - a huge testament to the approach Most BPO and services providers support sales execution; Wipro co-owns revenue outcomes. This integration of Sales-as-a-Service, Quality-as-a-Service, and AI-led analytics positions Wipro as a value-based growth partner, not a transactional provider-making the achievement both significant and highly differentiated. As a result of Wipro's success, several clients have expanded the scope of work, asking Wipro to bring the value-based model into new regions and product lines. In some cases, Wipro is now training the client's internal sales teams on certain ValueMax practices - a huge testament to the approach. Wipro is effectively exporting this innovation back to its clients, improving their in-house capabilities as well. This kind of influence - where an outsourced program becomes a model for the client's own operations - is quite uncommon and speaks to the leadership Wipro has shown in sales transformation
