Arcspring

From vegetable oil to one of the world's largest IT services companies. At Arcspring, we're always impressed by such incredible transformations and reinventions like the one accomplished by Wipro.

In 1945, Wipro began manufacturing and selling vegetable oil. Over the next two decades, the company diversified into soaps, detergents, talcum powder, light bulbs, and other consumer goods.

In 1966, 21-year-old Azim Premji took over the company from his father and expanded Wipro into IT - beginning a decades-long transformation.

Today, more than half of Wipro's $6.9 billion revenue comes from the U.S., where it provides outsourced research and development and IT consulting services

We are having a fantastic discussion in the office about people who have created technologies, inventions, and scientific discoveries that changed the arc of human progress since the dawn of time. (Such as Galileo, Da Vinci, Darwin, Turing, Jobs, Musk, etc...)

Who do you think belongs on the list?
