Directors
As of March 31, 2025, we had six non-executive independent directors, one non-executive non-independent director and two executive directors, of whom one executive director is Chairman of our Board. The non-executive, non-independent director and the Chairman of our Board belong to the promoter group. The remaining six non-executive directors are independent directors or independent of management and free from any business or other relationship that could materially influence their judgment. All of the independent directors satisfy the criteria of independence as defined under the SEBI Listing Regulations and the Companies Act, 2013 in India and the NYSE Corporate Governance standards. Other than the relationship between Rishad A. Premji and Azim H. Premji described below, there are no family relationships between any of our directors and executive officers.
The profiles of our directors are set forth below.

He joined Wipro in 2007 and worked in several roles before becoming Executive Chairman in 2019 — including General Manager in the Banking and Financial Services business, Head of Investor and Government Relations, and Chief Strategy Officer. As Chief Strategy Officer, he conceptualized Wipro Ventures, a fund that invests in global startups aligned with Wipro's next-generation services and AI solutions.
As Executive Chairman, Mr. Rishad Premji works closely with Wipro’s leadership team to guide the Company’s strategic direction. He believes culture is an organization’s strongest asset and
