USING SUCCESS FOR GOOD

COVID-19 is the unseen enemy. It knows no borders. It cares nothing about skin colour, ethnicity, sex, socioeconomic status or religion. It has claimed the lives of many and stolen the livelihoods of even more. It has fed on our inadequacies, highlighted our vulnerabilities and tested our resilience. This novel coronavirus has rocked our entire world.

But it hasn’t broken our spirit. What has isolated us temporarily has bonded us forever. From the people who have stayed home to the healthcare warriors on the frontline, the essential services workers who have kept plugging on despite the risk, and the philanthropic powers from around the globe, we’re all in this together. And as Queen Elizabeth II said, when we succeed – and we will succeed – “that success will belong to every one of us”.

Unfortunately, this success won’t come easily. But anything worth having rarely does. Just ask the founder and former chair of Wipro Limited, Azim Premji. His father was a successful businessman, selling sunflower oil through his company Western India Vegetable Products. It would’ve been easy for Premji to follow in his father’s footsteps, going into the family business. However, he decided to forge his own path to success instead.

In the early 1960s, Premji left India to follow his passion and study electrical engineering at Stanford University in the US. Right before completing his degree, he received heartbreaking news – his father had suddenly passed away. Without hesitation, he made the difficult decision to abandon his studies and quickly returned home to take over the management of his family’s business.
