The year 1999 marked the entry of Vivek Paul as the chief executive of Wipro. Vivek Paul led the company to an unprecedented path of growth, its sales grew by ten times during his stint from 1999 to 2005. Vivek slowly became the face of Wipro, which, as rumours go, wasn’t to Premji’s liking, as Premji pretty much likes to be ‘in control’. This is cited as the reason for Paul’s exit last year, an event that sparked off a fresh round of debates on the ownership-management equation in corporate India.
