No Indians made the cut to be featured in TIME magazine바카라s latest edition of world바카라s most influential people. The magazine names heavyweights from across various fields of entertainment, leadership, pioneers, titans and innovators.
Reshma Kewalramani is the only person of Indian-origin to find her way to the 2025 list. Kewalramani emigrated to the United States at the age of 11, and is now the first female CEO of a large, public U.S. biotechnology company Vertex Pharmaceuticals.
"Under her leadership, Vertex secured the first-ever FDA approval for a CRISPR-based therapy, which treats sickle cell disease by correcting patients바카라 own DNA mutations," Kewalramani바카라s TIME profile said.
Other influential people include the U.S. President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Streimer. Billionaire Elon Musk who heavily funded Trump바카라s election campaign also made it to the list.
It is interesting to note that leaders of countries currently at war did not make it to the TIME100, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu.
However, curiously enough Bangladesh바카라s interim chief and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus is in the top 100 under 바카라Leaders바카라 category.
Last year actor Alia Bhatt and Olympic wrestler Sakshi Malik were amongst the Indians who featured in the august list - amongst others of Indian origin. The year before that, Bollywood바카라s Badshah (King) Shah Rukh Khan was named in the TIME100, alongside Madhuri Dixit Nene and Raghuram Rajan.
Long Draught For Prime Minister Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has achieved the rare distinction of becoming India's Prime Minister for a third consecutive term - a feat previously accomplished only by the nation's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.
However, Modi did not make it to the TIME바카라s list after his third victory to office.
In fact, the last time he featured in the TIME바카라s most influential people바카라s list was in 2021.
Modi has been on the magazine바카라s list five times, specifically in 2014, 2015, 2017, 2020, and 2021.
He has been on the cover of the prestigious magazine thrice. Modi first appeared on the cover of TIME in 2012 with the headline 'Modi Means Business: But Can He Lead India?' - a profile published before his landslide victory in the 2014 general elections. He featured again in 2015 under the title 'We Are Natural Allies,' accompanied by an exclusive interview.
His most controversial cover came in 2019 while India was voting for its general election - labeled 'India바카라s Divider in Chief,' sparking widespread debate. The profile was written by Aatish Taseer, son of Indian journalist Tavleen Singh and late Pakistani politician and businessman Salmaan Taseer, posing the question, "Can the World바카라s Largest Democracy Endure Another Five Years of a Modi Government?"
Six years and one more general election later, Modi has not made it back to the TIME바카라s cover.
The 2024 general elections was the first time Modi바카라 Bharatiya Janata Party fell short of majority in the Indian parliament and had to rely on state parties - who have the reputation of being turncoats - to form a government.
Other political leaders who made it to the TIME100 include Mamata Banerjee who featured in 2021, alongside Modi, described as 바카라face of fierceness in Indian politics바카라 by journalist Barkhaa Dutt in TIME's profile.
Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh was on the cover of the magazine바카라s Asia edition in 2012, titled 바카라Underachiever바카라; also featuring in the TIME100 list in 2005 and 2010.
