India's Wipro rose as much as 4% in early trade on Friday after the country's fourth-largest IT firm reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings, driven by improved client spending in segments of its Americas business.

IT major Wipro on Thursday reported a 9.8% increase in consolidated profit after tax at ₹3,336.5 crore during the June quarter.

Shares of Wipro will be in the limelight on July 18, after the IT major posted a set of June quarter results that beat expectations along with a sharp uptick in large deal wins. The company’s American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), listed on the New York Stock Exchange reacted positively to these triggers and jumped nearly 4% on Wall Street overnight.
