Azim Premji has been at the helm of
Wipro Limited since his return from

turning what was then a $2 million
hydrogenated cooking fat company into
the $6.9 billion revenue IT, BPO and
R&D Services organization with a
presence in 57 countries, that it is today.
Premji started at Wipro driven by one
basic idea – to build an organization

would eventually but inevitably follow.
Unflinching commitment to Values
continues to remain at the core of Wipro.
