Wipro’s founder chairman Azim Premji and chairman Rishan Premji announced that they would forego profit linked commission for last year in view of COVID19.

Infosys Chairman Nandan Nilekani also chose not to receive remuneration for his services. 

“According to the TCS annual report, the executive remuneration for FY 2020 is lower than FY 2019 in view of the economic conditions impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The directors have decided to moderate the executive remuneration for this year to express solidarity and conserve resources,” Times Now cited in its report.
