Wipro Ltd. shares and American Depositary Receipts rose Friday after the company expanded its partnership with ServiceNow to deploy agentic AI workflows [1, 2].
The move signals a strategic shift toward scaling AI adoption across core enterprise functions, reflecting a broader industry push to integrate generative AI into business operations.
Investor optimism centered on the integration of Wipro Intelligence with the ServiceNow platform. This collaboration aims to automate complex business processes, which sparked a rally in both the Indian and U.S. markets [1, 2].
Market reactions varied by reporting source. Some reports indicated Wipro shares jumped five percent [4], while others noted increases ranging from four percent [3] to 4.67 percent [1] before the market bell. Other reports placed the rise at up to 4.5 percent [2].
The impact was more pronounced for Wipro's ADRs on the New York Stock Exchange. According to some data, the ADRs rose 18.54 percent to $2.430 [4]. Another report stated the ADRs gained 13 percent following the announcement [5].
This expanded agreement focuses on creating AI-driven efficiencies for enterprise clients. By combining Wipro's consulting capabilities with ServiceNow's software, the two companies intend to accelerate the deployment of AI agents that can perform autonomous tasks within corporate environments [1, 2].
The surge in share price follows a period of intense competition among global IT services firms to secure high-value AI contracts. The market's reaction suggests confidence in Wipro's ability to monetize these partnerships through scalable AI solutions [2, 3].

The significant jump in Wipro's valuation—particularly the double-digit rise in its ADRs—indicates that investors are placing a high premium on 'agentic AI' capabilities. Unlike basic chatbots, agentic workflows can execute multi-step business processes autonomously. This partnership positions Wipro to transition from a traditional IT services provider to an AI-orchestration partner, potentially increasing its margins as it moves toward high-value automation services.
