Mukesh Ambani ranked 61st. He also took the firm his father founded Reliance Industries and turned it into India's largest private-sector company, a $45 billion petrochemicals giant. Time said describing it as "a new kind of Indian company, built through adroit manipulation of governments and the stock market but also enriching millions of shareholders."
V.S. Ramachandran, ranked 79th. Time said, "With his simple, creative and innovative ideas," Ramachandran, best known for developing a therapy for phantom-limb pain in which a mirror is used to reflect the intact limb, creating the illusion that the missing one is still there, is changing how our brains think about our minds."
Azim Premji, ranked 88th. Microsoft chairman Bill Gates profiled him as philanthropist. He said, "If anyone personifies India's economic transformation, it is Azim Premji, chairman of the information-technology powerhouse Wipro. A pioneer of India's IT-outsourcing industry, Premji helped unleash a generation of skilled technical professionals who make up India's growing middle class."
