Azim Premji, who is also fondly known as the Czar of the Indian IT industry, successfully transformed the oil company his father started into a $25 Billion IT powerhouse with a presence in 58 countries.

He did this by firmly believing that businesses have a responsibility to employ ethical, fair, and ecologically sensitive business practices, and to engage with fundamental societal issues. Today, Wipro is recognized as a global leader in sustainability for its social and environmental initiatives spanning all countries across its operational footprint.
