The company provides its reasoning for mergers stating that the aim is to make business processes smoother and also allow for synergies of operations, decline the overheads involving administrative, managerial, and other expenditures, and also make sure that the legal entity structure has been optimized.

The move comes on the same day when the IT major that is based in Bengaluru declared its Q2 results for the financial year 2023-24. As the Transferor Companies are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Transferee Company, there will be no issuance of Transferee Company shares in place of or in exchange for Transferor Company shares within the merger decision.
Therefore, the ownership structure of the Transferee Company will stay unchanged given the absence of any share issuance, said the parent company Wipro Limited.
