Wipro gets new chairman, Rishad Premji takes over

Rishad Premji became chairman of Wipro on Wednesday, taking over from father Azim Premji in a low key handover at the company.
The senior Premji will continue to be on the board of Wipro. Rishad takes control at a time when the Bengaluru based company has penciled in slower growth at the beginning of the fiscal year and amid uncertainties over profitability.
The 42-year-old Wipro scion has been instrumental in acquiring new-age companies to transform its identity as a digital technology services provider.
