The GMT business will have a new structure, with its sub-vertical Communication Services carved out into a strategic business unit with Vice-President Anil Jain as its head, Wipro said in a statement.

While Anil Jain will report to Wipro Chief Operating Officer Abidali Neemuchwala, the media vertical will be clubbed with retail, consumer goods, transportation and government verticals for better synergies, the statement added
