It’s not just Bill Gates who is donating millions to charity. Top Indian industrialists, CEOs and entrepreneurs too have been donating millions for causes like education, healthcare and rural development. Wipro chairman Azim Premji, who was the ‘most generous Indian’ of 2014 according to the Hurun India Philanthropy List , has allocated an additional 18 percent of the stake he holds in the company for philanthropy, taking his total contribution for charity to more than 50 percent, reports the Economic Times . “Apart from the Tata Trust, nothing comes close to the commitment made by him on this front,” said a person who knows him well in an ET interview. “And now, he has two engines to carry on philanthropy—the Azim Premji Foundation, and the newly formed Philanthropic Initiatives formed to making grants to NGOs.” He might be the top donor, but not the only one.
