Here's our journey through the years
1945
THE FOUNDATION
Wipro was founded in 1945 by MH Premji in Amalner, a small town in Maharashtra, riding the wave of an imminent Indian Independence. It started as a manufacturer of vegetable and refined oils under the trade name of Sunflower.
1981
THE EMERGENCE OF WIPRO LIMITED
With over 40 years of experience, Wipro Products Limited entered the world of IT domain in the year 1981, and there by changing its name to Wipro Limited. With the break of the internet in the 1990's, Wipro placed itself as one of the top IT companies. It also emerged as a company known for its extensive range of products and services, commitment to sustainability and good corporate citizenship.
1986
BROADENING HORIZONS
By gaining the much deserved recognition, Wipro Limited gained momentum and continued to expand in the consumer products domain under the division – Wipro Consumer Care and Lighting.

1992

Wipro Thought Leadership.
At the core of every Wipro Lighting Solution lies Superior Thought, Unrivaled Engineering and Aesthetic Design.
- TEN
10/10THE WIPRO PROMISE
Wipro reflects innovation and technology. Every service and product we manufacture is checked thoroughly to ensure that we only deliver the highest quality of goods.
- NINE
9/10CUSTOMISED LIGHTING SOLUTIONS
Our team of dedicated Wipro Lighting Design experts are always available to provide creative lighting design solutions for your home for free. Our solutions give you the flexibility to create different light settings as per your requirement. This not only enhances the ambience but also saves a lot of energy.
- EIGHT
8/10ECO FRIENDLY
Our LEDs contain no harmful chemicals like mercury, which can be hazardous when leaked into the environment while being discarded. Unlike most LEDs, our LEDs emit almost no UV and IR radiations, which can harm sensitive materials and surfaces like goods and artwork.
- SEVEN
7/10COLOUR UNIFORMITY
During production each LED has its own unique colour, brightness and voltage levels, which leads to colour inconsistency across LED products if they are made directly with these LEDs. However, our LEDs are segregated according to colour to ensure colour uniformity across all our products.
- SIX
6/10A PRODUCT FOR EVERY SPACE
Wipro has a comprehensive range of products such as the Downlights, Spotlights, Flat Panels, Strip lights, Decorative and many more. They come in different sizes, shapes and colours to provide you with a solution for all your lighting requirements.
- FIVE
5/10DESIGNED TO OUTLAST
In an LED system, the weakest link is the driver (an electrical device that regulates the power to an LED). Wipro LEDs are engineered with robust drivers that are designed keeping in mind the state of unreliable electrical grids. Our drivers offer a wide operating voltage range of 100-240 VAC and have inbuilt protection like surge protection, short circuit and overload protection.
- FOUR
4/10DESIGNED WITH HIGH QUALITY OPTICS
Wipro uses high quality, non-yellowing diffusers to ensure a glare-free environment with uniform light distribution, and minimum light loss. Normal LEDs available in the market, feature low quality diffusers that are prone to turning yellow with time, causing strain on the eye.
- THREE
3/10BUILT WITH SUPERIOR ENGINEERING
The heat produced from an LED is most often what affects their lifespan since they are sensitive to temperature. To resolve this problem, Wipro LEDs feature Heat Sink Mechanism to dissipate heat. They are scientifically designed with pressure die cast or extruded aluminium, which allows for better cooling. This makes our LEDs work across temperatures ranging from -20°C to +50°C.
- TWO
2/10TESTED TO LAST LONGER
Before our products hit the market, every Wipro LED is tested for well over 50,000 hours, which is their normal lifespan. In comparison, normal LEDs have a lifespan of 1,000 to 10,000 hours.
- ONE
1/10Save more with our LEDs
Wipro LED products conserve up to 50% more energy than CFLs. What truly sets us apart from other LEDs, is the fact that our LED products are designed to be more efficient and brighter. All our products available in the market can reach an efficiency rate of upto 120 lm/W.
