NEW DELHI: Vivek Paul, vice chairman and president of IT major Wipro Technologies, has been profiled by Time magazine and CNN in their global list of influential business leaders for 2004. The two media giants featured Paul, who makes his home in the US and works out of India, in the list of "Global Business Influentials" for 2004. The list is in honour of a new breed of leaders who have redefined the way business is done, with innovative management strategies, a commitment to transparency, accountability and even helping change society along the way. Paul joins the company of global business leaders like Jeffery Immelt of General Electric, Chuck Prince of Citigroup and Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan Chase, a statement issued by Wipro said. Rated among BusinessWeek's "Best Managers for 2003", Paul champions India's software industry, but also supports a better safety net for displaced workers in the US, the magazine said. "My kids are growing up here. It's as important for me to do well in my business as it is to make sure that they grow up with a healthy economic outlook," Paul was quoted as telling Time.
