Wipro reports 9% drop in Q2 profit

Wipro reported a 9.6 per cent fall in September-quarter profit on Wednesday, as rising staff expenses weighed on the software services exporter and on lower earnings from clients in non-US markets.

The company reported a net profit of Rs 2,649.1 crore in July-September quarter, compared to Rs 2,930.6 crore a year ago, the company said in a statement, with revenues increasing to Rs 22,539.7 crore from Rs 19,667.4 crore a year ago.
