Azim Hashim Premji is an Indian business tycoon, investor, and prominent philanthropist. Often referred to as the "Czar of the Indian IT Industry," he was the chairman of Wipro Limited. He guided the company through four decades of diversification and growth, transforming a small hydrogenated cooking fat company into a global software and IT powerhouse.
Born on July 24, 1945, in Bombay, India, Premji comes from an entrepreneurial family. He was pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University when his father suddenly passed away in 1966.

I strongly believe that those of us, who are privileged to have wealth, should contribute significantly to try and create a better world for the millions who are far less privileged.
