Wipro is hiring a Research and Communications Officer in Bangalore, and if you scroll past it assuming it is another IT role, you will miss what makes it unusual. The team is not a delivery unit. It is the small group that researches and writes the history of the company, runs its archives, and tells that story through a museum, a book and exhibitions.
The preferred degree is in humanities or liberal arts. The experience they want is writing for a museum, a design studio or a cultural institution, or working as a business reporter. For a company better known for hiring engineers by the thousand, that is a genuinely different brief.
The role needs 8 to 10 years of experience, sits at the Kodathi campus in Bangalore, and is full time in office with travel. Here is everything on the listing, plus an honest read on who should spend an evening putting an application together.

What the Wipro Story Project is
Wipro points out that the company predates independent India, and in 2016 it set out to reconstruct that history properly. The team interviewed hundreds of people and gathered documents, products, photographs and memorabilia. The Wipro Archives were set up in 2017 to hold all of it. The first book from the project, The Story of Wipro, came out in 2021. There is also a museum and an exhibition.
So this is a corporate history and archives function, which barely exists as a career track in India. A handful of companies run one. If you have been looking for a role that uses a humanities degree inside a large company rather than at a non-profit salary, this is the kind of job that comes up once a year, if that.
What the job involves
Wipro describes the person they want as passionate and driven, someone who enjoys research, follows business and technology, and can write in both long and short form. That last part matters. You will be writing exhibit text that has to land in forty words, and also longer pieces that take their time.
The work runs across the museum, the archives, digital channels and internal communication. You will be turning research into content that other people then build with, which means a lot of collaboration with designers, production teams and technology partners. You will also take visitors around the Wipro Museum on guided tours, so this is not a role you do entirely from a desk.
One detail worth reading carefully: Wipro says a successful candidate will be able to explain complex ideas in plain, accessible language. A company history that spans decades of electronics, consumer goods and IT services has a lot of complexity in it. Making that readable for a visitor who knows nothing about Wipro is the actual skill being tested.
Key responsibilities
- Research and write content for museum exhibits and museum programmes
- Produce material for archival projects and digital outreach
- Write internal communications for the Wipro Story Project
- Work with production, design and technology partners who build on approved content
- Support the Museum and Archives teams, including guided tours for visitors to the Wipro Museum
- Travel as the work requires
Who qualifies
| Requirement | What Wipro asks for |
|---|---|
| Education | A post-graduate degree, preferably in humanities, liberal arts or an associated stream |
| Core experience | 8 to 10 years of writing experience in museum communications, a design studio or a cultural institution |
| Also accepted | Experience as a business reporter, or in business research and reporting |
| An advantage | A background in corporate business communication |
| Skills | Strong communication and interpersonal skills, creativity, collaboration, attention to detail, the ability to make complex material simple |
The honest read on eligibility: the degree is a preference, not a cut off, and the experience line is broader than it first appears. A journalist who has covered Indian business for eight years fits. So does a writer from a museum or an archive. So does someone who has spent those years writing for a design studio. What does not fit is eight years of generic marketing copy, because nothing in this role is about selling.
Wipro states it is an equal opportunity employer and that applications from people with disabilities are explicitly welcome.
Salary, location and the in-office condition
Wipro has not published a salary band for this role. At 8 to 10 years in a specialist communications function at a company this size, it will be negotiated rather than fixed, so go in with a number ready.
The location is the Kodathi campus on the Sarjapur side of Bangalore. If you live north or west of the city, look at that commute honestly before you apply, because the listing is explicit that this is a five day in-office role. Travel is part of the job too, which makes sense given that archives work and exhibition production both happen in person.
No remote or hybrid option is mentioned anywhere in the posting. Treat that as settled rather than something to negotiate later.

What to send with your application
For a writing role, the portfolio does more work than the CV. A few things that would help here specifically:
- Send range, not volume. One long researched piece and one piece of tight short copy says more than fifteen blog posts
- Include anything you have written from primary sources: interviews, archives, company records, old documents. This team works from material nobody has written about before
- If you have written exhibit or wall text, lead with it. Very few applicants will have
- Show one piece where you took something technical or financial and made it readable. That is the brief, stated plainly
- Keep the covering note short and make it about the Wipro Story Project rather than about Wipro the IT company. Read The Story of Wipro, or at least a few reviews of it, before you write that note
The interview will almost certainly involve talking about a story you found and how you found it. Have one ready.
Should you apply?
Apply if you are a business journalist tired of the news cycle, a museum or archive writer who wants corporate pay, or a communications professional with a humanities background and roughly a decade behind you. Also apply if you have been writing in a design studio and want work with more research in it.
Skip it if you have under eight years of experience, because the band is narrow and this is a small team that will not stretch it. Skip it if you want remote work, or if Kodathi is an unworkable commute. And skip it if your writing experience is mostly product marketing, however good it is, because the sample they ask for is not the sample you have.
One more thought. Teams like this one are small, which cuts both ways. There is no ladder to climb inside a four-person function, but there are very few people in India doing this work, and a few years on a project of this size makes you one of them.
