Empower your mind, elevate your skills
Agtech firm Cropin on Tuesday announced a strategic partnership with Wipro , a leading AI-powered technology services and consulting company, to drive digital transformation across the agribusiness sector.This collaboration brings together Cropin's deep domain expertise in agribusiness and AI innovation with Wipro 's scale, proven capabilities, and domain expertise in the consumer industries, including retail, CPG ( Consumer Packaged Goods ), and food services, it said, in a statement."Together, they aim to deliver scalable, intelligent solutions that not only transform agribusiness but also extend to adjacent industries where supply chain resilience and sustainability are critical," the company added.According to Cropin, agribusinesses today face mounting challenges, from climate volatility and supply chain disruptions to tightening regulations and shifting consumer expectations. The partnership aims to address three persistent barriers to transformation: limited transparency that restricts traceability and accountability; fragmented visibility across the value chain due to siloed systems and data; and an unpredictable operating environment shaped by volatile weather, market fluctuations, and geopolitical risks."By combining Cropin's AI-powered agri-intelligence platform with Wipro's deep domain expertise in consumer industries and its global consulting and technology capabilities, the two companies will enable agri-food businesses to unlock farm-level insights, enhance operational agility, and scale sustainability efforts," it stated.Climate change, geopolitical instability, and trade tensions are reshaping the agribusiness landscape. At the same time, regulatory pressures like the EUDR (European Union Deforestation Regulation) and rising demand for traceability are forcing companies to rethink how they operate, said Krishna Kumar, Founder and CEO of Cropin."This partnership with Wipro is a strategic step toward building data-driven, climate-resilient, and compliant supply chains at scale," he said.AI is redefining how agribusinesses operate-from sourcing and production to distribution, compliance, and sustainability, said Shiva Jayaraman, Senior Vice President and Sector Head - Consumer Business, Americas 1, Wipro Limited "Together with Cropin, we're helping clients transform their value chains into intelligent ecosystems that deliver measurable outcomes," he added.

Once denied permission to stay at Wipro guesthouse, now serves as chairman of same company; he is...., father is...
India has produced several philanthropic leaders. It is impossible to mention the names of prominent donors without including Ratan Tata, Azim Premji, Sudha Murthy, Nita Ambani, Shiv Nadar, and Anand Mahindra. Azim Premji is a figure known better for his philanthropy work than his business acumen. Interestingly, Azim Premji has transferred his entire business to his son. The information technology giant, Wipro, established by Azim Premji, has now been passed down to his son, Rishad Premji. Who is Rishad Premji? What role does he hold in Wipro? Rishad Premji, like his father Azim, is recognized for his humility. He joined Wipro in 2007 and worked in several roles before becoming Executive Chairman in 2019 — including General Manager in the Banking and Financial Services business, Head of Investor and Government Relations, and Head of Strategy and M&A. He also holds directorships across various Azim Premji philanthropic entities. In 2014, Rishad Premji was recognized as a Young Global Leader (YGL) by the World Economic Forum due to his outstanding leadership and commitment to society. At present, Rishad Premji is the Executive Chairman of Wipro Limited, a consulting-led and AI-powered global information technology services company. He serves on the boards of Wipro Enterprises, Wipro-GE Healthcare, and the Azim Premji Foundation, which works to improve public school education, healthcare, and livelihoods across several Indian states. He also holds directorships across various Azim Premji philanthropic entities. According to the official website of Wipro, Rishad served as Chairman of NASSCOM, the trade body representing India's technology industry from 2018-19. Before Wipro, Rishad worked with Bain & Company in London and GE Capital in the US. Speaking about his educational qualification, Rishad has an MBA from Harvard Business School and a B.A. in Economics from Wesleyan University. In 2005, Rishad got married to Aditi, his classmate at Harvard Business School, in a simple ceremony. Rishad and Aditi have two children, Rohan and Riya. Azim Premji was born on 24 July 1945 and Wipro was established shortly after on 29 December 1945. At the age of 21, after the death of his father, Azim Premji took over Wipro and built it into one of the biggest IT companies in the world and raised his children with the same principles he has gained from his father. A great example of his values was when Rishad Premji was in London and asked to stay at Wipro's guesthouse. Azim Premji said no, because it is a company property and not a place for personal use.

Tata Group, Google India, and Infosys have been ranked as India's top three most attractive employer brands in the Randstad Employer Brand Research (REBR) 2025. The report highlights a growing preference among India's workforce for purpose-driven careers, with work-life balance, equity, and competitive salary and benefits identified as the key drivers of Employee Value Proposition (EVP). Tata Group scored very high on financial health, career progression opportunities, and reputation – the top 3 EVP drivers for the organisation, as per the India climbed the rankings this year to emerge as the runner-up, followed by Infosys, which occupied the third spot. Mukesh Ambani's Reliance, Azim Premji's Wipro Ranking The top-10 most attractive employer brands in India for 2025 also include Samsung India at the 4th place, JPMorganChase (5th), IBM (6th), Wipro (7th), Reliance Industries (8th), Dell Technologies Ltd (9th) and State Bank of India (10th). Based on insights from over 170,000 respondents across 34 markets, including 3,500-plus in India, the study reveals that today's talent expects far more than just a pay cheque. They are looking for inclusive, future-focused workplaces that support both personal and professional growth. When asked about their perception of an ideal employer, work-life balance and attractive salary and benefits have emerged as potential gaps that Indian employers still need to address, as per the survey. 'The 2025 findings reflect a clear shift- today's workforce is no longer satisfied with conventional jobs; they're seeking equity, purpose, meaningful growth, and work-life harmony,' Viswanath P S, MD & CEO, Randstad India, a talent company, said. Viswanath said: 'This year's data also reveals a steady rise in job-switching intent, especially among younger talent. It's a wake-up call for employers to move beyond transactional perks and build organisational cultures rooted in trust, transparency, and shared purpose.' 'As we lean further into a skills-based economy, the competition for top talent will only grow fiercer. The organisations that prioritise inclusion, foster continuous learning, and align with what truly matters to talent will stand out. I believe the REBR 2025 report will serve as a strategic compass for every employer striving to become a true talent magnet,' he said. What Report Says On Gen Z & Millennials Job Switch Plans? As per the report, 47 per cent of Indian employees planned to switch jobs in the first half of 2025, with both Gen Z (51 per cent) and Millennials (50 per cent) displaying a strong intention to switch employers. Moreover, AI usage is rising rapidly, with 61 per cent of Indian employees now using it regularly. Millennials are the most active users, with a 13 per cent increase over the previous year. The expectation of AI's impact remains high, with 38 per cent of employees feeling that AI is impacting their work significantly. Randstad India is a leading talent company providing services across four key specializations operational talent solutions, professional talent solutions, digital talent solutions, and enterprise talent solutions.
