Azim Premji: Philanthropy should come from inside, CSR shouldn’t be mandated

WIPRO founder chairman Azim Premji on Saturday stated firms shouldn’t be legally mandated to interact in company social duty (CSR) as such contributions to society must “come from within”.
Premji highlighted that the Covid disaster was a “wake up call” to have a look at elementary points like the necessity to enhance public programs like well being, and altering the construction of society to grow to be extra equal and simply. “I don’t assume we must always have a authorized mandate for firms to do CSR. Philanthropy or charity or contribution to society should come from inside, and it can’t be mandated from exterior. But that’s my view.
