The counter-case
The case against this reading — not reported by the source.
A launch into pet food does not prove Wipro can win in a category where pet parents increasingly prioritize veterinary credibility, ingredient transparency and established specialist brands. Distribution strength may secure shelf space, but dry dog food is crowded and repeat purchase depends on palatability, perceived nutrition and price competitiveness; marketing, sampling and trade spending could erode returns before meaningful scale is reached.
