No compatible net-worth observation in this preview.
No current-year paid total verified.
Unknown is not zero.
Scope: Foundation endowment market value. Period: Endowment valuation at January 2023. As of: 2023-01. Remaining net worth: Unknown.
Original amount retained: INR 2,400,000,000,000.
Source says Premji contributed wealth to create the endowment. Does not establish that the full January 2023 value equals his personal lifetime donated asset value.
Irrevocable philanthropic allocation reported 13 March 2019 (2019-03-13)
Economic benefits attached to approximately 34% additional Wipro Limited shares held by controlled entities were earmarked for philanthropic purposes after reported irrevocable renunciation. Not a cash donation or evidence of full share-title transfer.
The 34% and 67% figures concern Wipro economic ownership, not percentages of Premji’s personal wealth donated. The $7.5B refers to the underlying shares’ market value, not a separately valued economic-rights gift. The $21B is reported corpus valuation and must not be added to the January 2023 $29B endowment valuation.
