The company had posted a net profit of Rs 1,334.9 crore in the April-June quarter of last fiscal, Wipro said in a filing to the BSE.
The total income from operation during the quarter rose by 24.37 per cent to Rs 10,619.6 crore from Rs 8,538.4 crore in the year-ago period.
The company has also bagged a multi-year contract from Philips.
