set up as a manufacturer of vegetable ghee, vanaspati, refined oils including salad oil in
Amalner, Maharashtra under the trade names of Kisan, Sunflower and Camel.The company
logo still contains a sunflower to reflect their original business.
In 1966, post his father‟s death AzimPremji rushed back from Stanford University and took
over Wipro as a chairman at the age of 21. He was instrumental in transforming Wipro into a
multi-billion dollar diversified corporation. AzimPremji is a major shareholder in Wipro.

opportunities in the IT and computing industry, which was at a nascent stage in India at that
time. In 1977, the name of the Company was changed from Western India Vegetable
Products Limited., to Wipro Products Limited., with effect from 7th June.
