Over the past years he has transferred a significant part of his personal wealth, including the economic ownership of about 74% of Wipro’s shareholding, for Philanthropic purposes, by irrevocably donating and creating an endowment valued (as of Jan 2022) at approximately USD 38 billion (Rs 287,000 crores), to fund the work mentioned below.
