Premji asked his employees to find a common ground, increase their commitment to others and to values to guide their actions in this New Year.

"The importance of this success of Wipro has become manifold more, because it's the success of Wipro that enables the possibility of making a difference to some of the most disadvantaged people in the world," Premji said in a New Year letter to employees.

Nearly 40% of Wipro is owned by a philanthropic trust that has been working to improve Indian villages’ condition.

He added that the year 2016 had raised questions and obstacles which could not be ignored.

"These questions have arisen from developments in the political arena, from the fast unfolding environmental crisis and from forces that want to shape the world into a place of exclusion, conflict and suspicion," Premji said.

Britain's vote to leave the European Union and Donald Trump's win of the US Presidential Election have both raised concerns for Indian IT firms, that now fear a more protectionist stance in their major markets.
