Azim Premji Comment on Reservation

Azim Premji is the Indian Billionaire Business tycoon who owns 80% stake in WIPRO Technologies and India’s second richest person after Mukesh Ambani having net worth of US $ 17.5 Billion (Forbes 2010).

ExpressIndia says,

Responding to a question on the proposed move to reserve 27 per cent seats in higher educational institutions for Other Backward Classes, Premji said, "We appreciate the compulsions the country is going through in terms of reservation. But we (Wipro) are an organisation which requires selection on merits."

He also said that,

I think we should have job reservations in all the fields. I completely support the PM and all the politicians for promoting this. Let's start the reservation with our cricket team. We should have 10 percent reservation for Muslims. 30 percent for OBC, SC/ST like that. Cricket rules should be modified accordingly.
The boundary circle should be reduced for an SC/ST player. The four hit by an OBC player should be considered as a six and a six hit by an OBC player should be counted as 8 runs. An OBC player scoring 60 runs should be declared as a century.
We should influence ICC and make rules so that the pace bowlers like Shoaib Akhtar should not bowl fast balls to our OBC player.
Bowlers should bowl maximum speed of 80 km/ hour to an OBC player.
