Startups can do for India what IT did in late 90s: Wipro’s Rishad Premji

Rishad Premji, chief strategy officer and executive board member at Wipro Ltd, completed a decade at the software services company this year, having joined in July 2007. Premji, 40, who travels about 100-120 days a year, has given less than half a dozen interviews over his 10-year stint. “I’m just a reserved and a very private person,” Premji, son of chairman Azim Premji, said in an interview on Thursday, his first on-record interaction with the media in six years.
