Azim Premji, Chairman of Wipro Ltd, was awarded the US-India Business Council's (USIBC) 34th Anniversary "Global Vision" award in Washington for his work furthering India-US relations through commercial partnership.
The award was presented by retired president and CEO of GE India Scott Bayman, USIBC President Ron Somers and PepsiCo Chairman and CEO Indra K Nooyi on behalf of USIBC on June 17.
"Despite all his success and recognition, he is the same person I met in 1993 - humble, passionate and committed to quality - a very, very good guy," Bayman said of Premji.
USIBC, according to a Wipro statement, would make a donation to Operation Smile, a children's charity treating facial deformities, in the name of the awardee Premji.
This donation would allow 14 children to receive life changing surgery during Operation Smile's August 2009 medical mission to Gujarat.
