Established in 1998, the Global MAKE Awards are administered by Teleos, an independent research firm based out of the UK.

Wipro’s accomplishments in creating a knowledge driven culture, an environment conducive to knowledge sharing and in driving organizational learning have earned special recommendation from the awarding authority, said a press release.

Wipro has also been inducted into the 2010 Global MAKE Hall of Fame.

In addition, Wipro has also won the Asian MAKE Award this year, thus earning the distinction of being the only Indian IT Company to win the award eight times in a row. Its capabilities in formulating knowledge management (KM) strategies and roll-out of enterprise-wide KM programmes for its customers have been further validated by the grant of a patent on KM by the US Patent and Trademark Office in February 2010 for “Business-aligned Knowledge Management System and Method for Creating the same.”
