Indian IT companies Wipro, TCS, and Tech Mahindra have taken action to repatriate Indian employees living abroad. As a result, charter flights to India were arranged by the MNCs to fly employees home back home.
The companies followed in the steps of tech giant Infosys that carried out a successful repatriation operation this week.
Overall, the three tech companies have employees working in different continents in countries like the US, UK, Germany, Australia and New Zealand.
Wipro established its presence in Australia 15 years ago and employs over 2000 people. The company has four sales offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Taylors Beach and Brisbane. They also have four development centres across Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra and Perth.

In other words, Wipro employees in Australia who wish to be repatriated can be hopeful of returning home soon.
