At PI, we partner with world-class teams to help them catalyze their vision to build enduring companies.

Our evergreen capital structure allows us to be long-term partners from inception to IPO and beyond. We have tight integration between our private and public teams, creating unique insights that enable us to be a constant through the perpetual momentum of the scaling journey — up and down, thick and thin. In turn, the proceeds and profit generated from our investing activities are in support of the Azim Premji Foundation. The Foundation's mission is to create a just and equitable society. The good we can do together — alongside both our partnerships and the Foundation — is infinite.
our story

Founded by generosity. Driven by possibility.

Since 2001, Azim Premji, Founder Chairman of Wipro, has irrevocably donated a majority of his wealth to create an endowment funding the Azim Premji Foundation. Premji Invest was formed to grow the endowment and support the Foundation's activities in perpetuity.

The Premji Foundation runs deep, on-the-ground work across India within education and healthcare. The Foundation's Field Institutions are spread across 7 Indian states with over 350,000 schools.

We are humbled to be supporting the visionary work of both the Foundation and our Founders.
