Anil Ambani, Chairman, Reliance Group

In the coming year, Anil Ambani is consolidating his telecom business through big mergers and strategic alliances like the one he has with Reliance Industries. The business giant is also exiting cash gulping businesses from telecom towers to cement and roads as a step ahead of lifting his group from huge levels of indebtedness. Meanwhile, Reliance Infrastructure is aiming to become a key player in defense, meaning Ambani has a busy year ahead.

Vishal Sikka, CEO, Infosys

2016 will present Sikka's biggest test yet-bridging the widening gap with larger peers such as TCS and Cognizant. Infosys under Sikka's watch has been a bustling company. It had launched efforts to change the mindset of every average engineer in the company through the now well-documented 'Design Thinking' movement. Success is expected to hoist him into the big league this year.
