MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE

Times of india releases most influential people around world:
RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan, tennis star Sania Mirza, actress Priyanka Chopra, Google CEO Sundar Pichai and founders of Flipkart Binny Bansal and Sachin Bansal have been named by Time magazine in its list of the '100 Most Influential People in the World'.

Time's annual list includes pioneers like American composer Lin Manuel-Miranda, leaders like IMF head Christine Lagarde and icons like Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio who are "exploring the frontiers of art, science, society, technology and more".

Time said Flipkart founders Binny Bansal and Sachin Bansal may have come across as arrogant when they told investors the company they started in 2007 as an online bookstore could be worth $100 million in a decade. "It turned out to be modesty: Flipkart now has 75 million users and a $13 billion valuation," Time said.  

Also on the list is Indian-origin actor and comedian Aziz Ansari and Indian-origin Raj Panjabi, CEO of Last Mile Health.
