Frost & Sullivan will present this award to Mr. Premji at its annual flagship event – Growth, Innovation & Leadership (GIL) Summit India 2019, scheduled on October 16, 2019, at Hyatt Regency, Mumbai.
Mr. Premji, Founder Chairman of Wipro Limited is known not only for his visionary leadership and entrepreneurship but also for being one of the most generous humanitarians. He has been the pillar in diversifying and growing Wipro to become a global enterprise in the software industry.
Mr. Premji’s visionary leadership in transforming Wipro and commitment toward social welfare beyond the boardroom makes him the rightful recipient of this prestigious award. Inducted into the GIL Hall of Fame at the event, Mr. Premji will become a part of an elite roster of leaders such as Ratan Tata, Kumar Mangalam Birla, Ms. Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Richard Branson, Jack Andraka, Desmond Tutu, and other visionaries.
Announcing the 2019 GIL Visionary Leadership Award, Aroop Zutshi, Global President & Managing Partner, Frost & Sullivan, said, “Mr. Premji’s life journey has truly been awe-inspiring. His enduring spirit, charismatic leadership, and philanthropic work make him a truly global icon for generations to come. Going beyond boardroom meetings and operational excellence, his deep-rooted values toward social causes demonstrate his commitment toward the prosperity of the society as a whole.”
Frost & Sullivan lauds Mr. Premji for his indomitable spirit, business acumen and above all, his compassion. His philanthropy is unmatched; his compassion is visible in the Azim Premji Foundation, a not-for-profit organization he founded, which aims to achieve quality universal education that facilitates an equitable, humane and sustainable society. He also became the first Indian to sign up for ‘The Giving Pledge’, a campaign led by Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, to encourage the wealthiest people to commit to pledge the majority of their wealth to philanthropic causes.
His hard work, perseverance, honesty, and unprecedented leadership helped the Wipro group accomplish $10 billion in revenues across flourishing businesses in IT, BPO, Research & Development, Consumer Goods, Precision Engineering and Healthcare Systems.
Among the numerous accolades bestowed upon him, Mr. Premji was conferred with Padma Vibhushan, which is the second-highest civilian award by the Government of India in January 2011.
