The company was established in 1980 as subsidiary of Wipro Limited listed on New York Stock Exchange. Wipro was founded in 1945 by M.H.Hasham Premji in Amalner, [[Maharashtra]], producing sunflower [[Vanaspati]] Oil and soaps. At that time, the company was called Western India Vegetable Products Limited (later abbreviated down to Wipro
, an acronym of Western India Palm Refined Oils).<ref>http://www.wipro.com/corporate/brand/index.htm</ref><ref>http://www.moneycontrol.com/company-facts/wipro/history/W</ref> The company logo still contains a sunflower to reflect their original business. Over the years, Wipro diversified into several unrelated businesses on its own and through subsidiaries. These industries included soaps, wax, tin containers for packaging and crushing. Hasham Premji died in 1966, and was succeeded by his son Azim Premji.
