"The guidance is baked into all the uncertainties that we see, but I think the most important thing is what's happening in the macro environment. Today, in addition to the geopolitics this year, macro environment in the context of tariffs has created a lot of uncertainties to our clients and this uncertainty varies from country to country, markets to market, sectors by sectors," Wipro CEO and MD Srini Pallia said during the company's earnings conference.
Over the past weeks, US' on-now, off-now tariff moves have roiled global markets and many IT analysts fear that a bitter trade war and a possible slowdown in the American economy could take a toll on IT decision-making or curtail tech demand and spending from specific verticals.
