IT firm Wipro’s share buyback, worth Rs 12,000 crore ($1.6bn), may deliver substantial returns to small investors who invest during the remaining short window. Retail shareholders with holdings worth less than INR 2 lakh ($2,700) are eligible for up to 15% of the buyback, and are expected to see acceptance ratios of up to 40%, as analysts predict an overall acceptance rate of around 4%.
