FAQs
No. Premji Invest is a for-profit investment firm, not an impact investor or ESG fund. The firm does not apply impact screens, require social return metrics, or make investment decisions based on ESG criteria.
The firm's tagline — "for-profit investing, for good" — reflects the personal values of its founder and a belief that the best companies, those that genuinely solve real problems and treat people well, tend to be the most durable and valuable over time. But Premji Invest is measured by financial returns and the enduring quality of the companies it backs, not by social impact metrics. The distinction matters: Premji is not making trade-offs between returns and impact. It believes they are complementary.
Premji Invest and the Azim Premji Foundation are separate organizations with distinct mandates, but they share the same founding principal — Azim Premji — and are connected by the same underlying values.
The Azim Premji Foundation is a philanthropic organization focused on improving education quality in India, particularly in rural and underserved communities. Premji Invest is the for-profit investment firm. The two operate independently. Premji Invest does not make investments based on philanthropic objectives, and the Foundation does not direct commercial investment decisions. What connects them is a long-term perspective, a commitment to integrity, and the belief — embedded in Azim Premji's personal philosophy — that doing well financially and doing good in the world are not in conflict.
Azim Premji is the founder of Wipro, one of India's largest technology services companies. He grew Wipro from a small vegetable oil manufacturer into a global IT and business services leader over several decades, making it one of India's most significant technology companies.
Beyond business, Azim Premji is known for his philanthropy. He has pledged the majority of his personal wealth to the Azim Premji Foundation, which works to improve education quality across rural India. He is widely regarded as one of India's most important entrepreneurs and one of the world's most committed philanthropists. Premji Invest is the for-profit investment arm he established to deploy his capital with the same long-term, values-driven approach.
