The thesis
Wipro is another Indian IT major available both locally and as the WIT ADR in New York. It offers the same cross-listing comparison as Infosys, in a company that has been working to improve growth and consistency relative to larger peers.
The investment is a bet on global IT and digital-services demand, with the ADR serving mainly as the foreign-ownership wrapper and a sentiment read for Indian investors who would usually buy the local share.
