Early formative years[edit]

The company was incorporated on 29 December 1945, in Mumbai by Mohamed Premji as
'Western India Palm Refined Oil Limited', later abbreviated to 'Wipro'. It was initially set up as a
manufacturer of vegetable and refined oils in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India under the trade names
of Kisan, Sunflower and Camel.[1][7] The company logo still contains a sunflower to reflect products
of the original business.
In 1966, after Mohamed Premjis death, his son Azim Premji returned home from Stanford
University and took over Wipro as its chairman at the age of 21.[8][9]

During the 1970s and 1980s, the company shifted its focus to new business opportunities in the

the name of the company changed from Western India Vegetable Products Limited, to Wipro
Products Limited.[7]
The year 1980 marked the arrival of Wipro in the IT domain. In 1982, the name was changed
