AZIM HASHIM PREMJI

(Chairman of Wipro Limited)

Azim Premji, full name Azim Hashim Premji, was an Indian business entrepreneur who served as chairman of Wipro Limited.  He led the company through four decades of diversification and growth to become a global leader in the software industry. Premji was born on July 24, 1945, in Bombay (now Mumbai), India. Premji was among the richest. persons in the world at the start of the twenty-first century. The Western Indian Vegetable Products Ltd., which produced the widely used hydrogenated The shortening known as Vanaspati was established by Premji's father the same year he was born. As colonial India was divided into primarily Hindu India and Muslim Pakistan, three Years later, the Premji's, a Muslim family, made the decision to stay in India. Premji's father tragically passed away in 1966, just days before he was set to earn his engineering degree at Stanford University. He postponed graduating and went back to India to take over the family firm.   He then started to diversify, getting into things like soap, shoes, lightbulbs, and hydraulic cylinders. When the Indian government asked IBM to leave the country in 1979, Premji renamed the business called Wipro and started to guide it towards the computer industry.  In the 1980s, Wipro formed a number of fruitful international alliances to aid in the development of computer hardware for the Indian market. Yet it was software development that brought in the big bucks for the company. Premji earned a reputation for hiring only the best candidates. and giving them unmatched training. He also profited from India's enormous pool of educated software professionals who were ready to work for significantly less money than their American counterparts. Wipro focused on creating specialized software for export, mostly to the US.

Artifical Intelligence and Machine Learning

  Artifical Intelligence and Machine Learning  The roots of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are deep, tracing back to the mid-20th century. Alan Turing, a notable figure in the development of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence, posed the question "Can machines think?" back in 1950. This ignited the spark that fuelled decades of innovation. The term "Artificial Intelligence" was coined by John McCarthy for the 1956 Dartmouth Conference, the first academic conference of its kind. Machine Learning, on the other hand, made its debut in the late '50s when Arthur Samuel developed a program that could learn to play checkers. Fast forward to the 21st century, we've witnessed the evolution from rule-based systems to machines that can learn from vast datasets and even from their own experiences. The milestones are numerous, from IBM's Deep Blue defeating world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997 to the advent of deep learning w...

           5G and Beyond 5G network have evolved to improve mobile broadband services by increasing communication speeds, reducing latency, and improving reliability. SK Telecom, the largest mobile operator in South Korea, launched the World’s First commercial 5G service, in April 2019. Today, there were 127,50 deployments in 128 countries as of Nov 30,2022. India launched its first 5G network in Oct 2022, making one of the most rapid nationwide 5G network deployment in the world. Moreover, India’s 5G network ranks among the top-performing networks globally. 5G is designed to do a variety of things that can transform our lives, faster download speeds, more capacity and connectivity for billions of devices-especially in the area of virtual reality (VR), the IOT, and AI.  It generating 22.3 million jobs in the 5G global value chain alone. In India, 5G telecom networks are expected to represent nearly 2% of GDP by 2030. The 5G sector will generate revenue...

                                AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES “WHERE TECHNOLOGY DRIVES ” A Journey Through Time: The Evolution of AV The concept of self-driving cars began with Leonardo da Vinci's 16th-century designs and progressed through Francis P. Houdina's 1925 radio-controlled car and Norman Bel Geddes' 1939 futuristic visions. Major advancements came with DARPA's 2004 and 2008 challenges, which demonstrated the viability of autonomous technology. Mobileye then revolutionized the field by integrating advanced sensors and mapping into vehicles, paving the way for the widespread adoption of self-driving cars. Inside Autonomous Cars: The Role of Sensors, Algorithms, and Machine learning Autonomous cars rely on sensors, actuators, complex algorithms, machine learning systems, and powerful processors to execute software. Autonomous cars create and maintain a map of their surroundings based on a variety of sensors sit...
