Because what good is one's wealth if one cannot share, as Premji has shown. Because the Wipro chiarman is India's Bill Gates, in terms of his philanthropy. Because it really takes a heart of gold to donate $2 billion to the cause of education in India. Because the Azim Premji Foundation is one of the best run philanthropic institutes in the country. Because he doesn't believe in ostentatious living, and even asked his son to work at a call centre to understand what it is to be without wealth. Because at the same time, India's third richest man has no qualms about losing a great part of it to better the cause of Indians.
