Joining Wipro Technologies as one of the first 10 employees in 1984, Dr. Rao retired as its Chief Operating Officer 2009 as Wipro reached a pinnacle of $4 billion in revenue. At Wipro, Dr. Rao held the responsibilities spanning the Product Engineering business, CIO & CTO functions and Japan & China Geographies sales & Operations.

President & CEO of Trianz, Sri Manchala said, "Continuing to build on its growth, Trianz has launched its next generation of services under the umbrella of Trianz 2.0. Our goal is to provide a differentiated value proposition to clients as a partner who leads execution of strategic initiatives combining our consulting, technology and operational capabilities under one unified model. And we are doing this in collaboration with clients, partners and pioneers in the industry. It is an honor to have Dr. A L Rao on our Board. His pioneering experience in helping lead the transformation of Wipro from a start-up to a highly respected global firm will be of immense value to Trianz clients and the organization as a whole. On behalf of the entire Trianz leadership team and Board of Directors, I extend a warm welcome to Dr. A L Rao and look forward to a close collaboration. "

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. A L Rao who has driven successful initiatives by serving in a leadership role for more than 30 years of his career said, "I accept this responsibility with a deep sense of excitement. Having seen the services industry for nearly 30 years it is quite clear that we are somewhat reaching a plateau in terms of value addition to clients. In a technology empowered but constrained global economic situation, clients are expecting more from their service partnerships. It is very interesting to see how Trianz has innovated on its service model as a turnkey execution partner for top management at leading corporations, thereby delivering superior value.
