FAQs
No. Premji Invest is a for-profit investment firm, not an impact investor or ESG fund. We do not apply impact screens, require social-return metrics, or make decisions against ESG criteria. Our tagline, 'for-profit investing, for good,' reflects a simpler belief: the most durable and valuable companies tend to be the ones that solve real problems and treat people well.
Premji Invest is measured by financial returns and the quality of the companies it backs. The point is not a trade-off between returns and good outcomes. We think they compound together.
Premji Invest and the Azim Premji Foundation are separate organizations with distinct mandates, linked by the same founder and a shared set of values. The Foundation is a philanthropic organization focused on education and healthcare in India.
Premji Invest is the for-profit investment firm, investing across venture, growth, and public markets. While the returns generated by Premji Invest ultimately contribute to the broader endowment that supports the Foundation's work, the two operate independently. Investment decisions are made solely on commercial merit, and the Foundation does not influence investment strategy.
What connects them is a long-term orientation, a commitment to integrity, and Azim Premji's belief that commercial success and meaningful philanthropy can reinforce one another.
Azim Premji is the ex-Chairman of Wipro, which his family built from a small vegetable-oil business into one of India's largest technology and business-services companies over several decades.
He is also one of the world's most committed philanthropists, having pledged the majority of his wealth to the Azim Premji Foundation, which works to improve education and healthcare across India. Premji Invest is the for-profit investment firm he established to deploy his capital with the same long-term, values-driven approach.
