If he owns 86% of Wipro, is not the rest 16% and not 26%?--Pgreenfinch 17:55, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Neither it would be 14#

Is he Nizari Ismaili or is he Bohra? 71.105.106.105 00:11, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I think there is no need to know about his faith, its the deeds which matters. Hope everyone will consider Mr.Azim Premji a righteous individual than a mediocre believer. I really wish to see people like him who are human & helps promote humanity.

Looks like he is Bohra. Please see: http://www.malumaat.com/archives/akhbar1428/bangalore/index3.html

Wherefore "Er."?
In many places in the article, Mr. Premji was listed as "Er.Azim" and as "Er. Azim". Apart from this inconsistent spacing, the use of "Er." is not supported by the Wipro site, the Times of India page, Forbes, or the name his own foundation. I hesitated to eliminate the "Er."s only because they're not especially new, but have been bold. I am open to correction. Czrisher (talk) 23:03, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Spam e-mail (probably scam) in his name
Sultec (talk) 13:32, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

I just received a spam e-mail "in his name" referring (in first person) to his philanthropy and mentioning the intention to donate USD 2,000,000 to the recipient, asking to reply to a gmail address, but sent from a different address. The e-mail text includes a link to this Wikipedia page about him "to read more about me". Maybe it is worth mentioning this on the page, so potential victims do not fall prey to it by finding general statements from the spam e-mail true by reading Wikipedia and so building false trust in that spam e-mail. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.178.154.51 (talk) 14:39, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Yes, loads of scammers referencing this Wiki and bombarding mailboxes throughout the World.

Philanthropy section
Can someone please add the following to the Foundation/university subsection before the last part -"The Azim Premji University was established under an Act ..."

— Preceding unsigned comment added by 223.225.248.167 (talk • contribs) 07:23, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * In March 2019, Premji pledged an additional 34% of Wipro stock held by him to the foundation. At a current value of about USD 7.5 billion, this allocation will bring the total endowment from him to the foundation to USD 21 billion (current value).
 * Yes check.svg Done NiciVampireHeart 09:46, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Rather disappointed the above has not been updated in the article yet. While there are a couple hundred people on the giving pledge list, very few have actually made material donations against their pledges. In Premji's case, he has already exceeded the given pledge commitment.

Page misused in SPAM
This page is actually referenced in german spam/junk mails, just for making it more trustful. Maybe there should be placed a single notice about this at the beginning or maybe before the headline of this page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nolbelt (talk • contribs) 13:38, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

This is also being referenced by English spam emails. I agree, there should be a warning at the top of the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mwakelin (talk • contribs) 15:36, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

I got those spams, too, and they are quite obnoxious in spamming (several copies a day). The Azim Premji Foundation is aware of these spams, apparently: https://azimpremjifoundation.org/alerts-online-scams-fradulent-mails — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:E6:9748:C6A3:50F0:2D71:E920:79E1 (talk) 16:19, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

While the scam is around and about, the notice on top of the page substantially modifies the content of the wikipedia article pages, is not related to the content of the wikipedia entry whatsoever (save for the mention of the subject) and should be removed as per WP:NOTPART.

 * Since no one did it, the page is reverted back to the original state before it was vandalised. MetroMapFinalRender.svg (talk) 16:25, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

What would be about a short notice anywhere in the article (e.g. in one of the leading paragraphs), as it exists in the German version of this article? LK5042 (talk) 12:38, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 27 March 2020
"born in ... India in a Nizari Ismaili Shia Muslim[12]" is incorrect information as the cited link [12] https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/Gujaratis-the-shining-feather-in-market-cap/articleshow/2201465.cms?referral=PM doesn't mention the same anywhere in the article, furtermore it is widely known he has never mentioned in any interview that he is from Nizari Ismaili Shia Muslim, but from Kutchhi Parsi Family, whih has been mentioned in the cited source also. Probbly done for communal interests, please check and update accordingly. Debasishbanerjee (talk) 00:08, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Is it possible, that the sentence "In 2001, he founded Azim Premji Foundation,a non-profit organization." in the section "Philanthropy" misses a space after the second comma? LK5042 (talk) 12:33, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
