Spirit of WIPRO Run @Kompleks Sukan Negara Shah Alam


Last Sunday morning, I attended the Spirit of WIPRO Run at Kompleks Sukan Negara Shah Alam. 
It was the 10th year anniversary for the Spirit of Wipro Run, which started in July 2006 and has since been a global annual effort. Every year, the Wipro employees and extended community around the world participate in Spirit of Wipro Run as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility initiative. 

3,200 runners from the WIPRO's community in Malaysia together with their family and friends participated in the run this year.
The objective of the "Spirif of WIPRO Run" is to create a platform that would bring together employees, families, customers and senior leaders across all divisions to fulfill the organization's goals. The goals are to create an entity where Wipro's diverse ecosystem grows united and believes they are all in it for the long run, to engage employees keep in mind their passion for health and fitness besides inculcating the culture of giving back to the society among the employees.

"Spirit of WIPRO Run" is part of WIPRO Cares, a corporate social responsibility program which focuses on contributing to the society by catalyzing systematic improvement in education and to the local communities where WIPRO operates in.

Wipro Cares is globally active in 3 charity categories which are Community, Education and Ecology.
Funds collected from the annual run are topped up dollar to dollar by Wipro.
