In the interview, he also explains why billionaire investor Warren Buffett, whose values and philanthropy, he believes, are akin to those of his father, is probably the only role model for him.

As far as Wipro is concerned, Rishad said the focus of the company still remains the IT services industry, which brings in 95 percent of the company’s profit and 90 percent of revenues. However, he describes the consumer industry as “a very exciting business”.

He also pointed out that he’s been granted no privileges for being a Premji, noting that “people at Wipro are not influenced or swayed by the last name you carry.”
