Romesh Wadwani

Romesh Wadwani, chairman and CEO of Symphony Technology Group, a Silicon Valley-based private equity firm promises major part of his wealth to his philanthropic foundation. To this Indian American Billionaire, his organization on charity is as important as his companies, reports Ishani Duttagupta of Economic Times.

"I'm from an Indian family of professionals and my parents had to go through hardships themselves to send me to IIT-Mumbai. And having got the best of education myself, I firmly believe it is my personal obligation to give back to the community," he says. He also believes that "Leaving too much for one's children will take away their own entrepreneurial skills.’'
