PM Modi, Nadella Among Time’s 100 Most Influential People In The World

For the 12^th consecutive year the Time magazine has compiled its list of the world's most influential people. From actors to leaders and from scientists to human rights campaigners, editors of the Time magazine have chosen the people who, in their view, have refined the world in the last year.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi whom President Barack Obama calls "India's reformer-in-chief", and three other people of Indian origin made their way into the Time magazine's list of 100 most influential people in the world. Besides PM Modi, others on the list include Chanda Kochhar, managing director and CEO of ICICI Bank, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and India's prominent mental health expert Professor Vikram Patel, joint director at the Public Health Foundation of India, professor at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and Co-founder of the NGO Sangath.

On Tuesday, Time also released another list of the world's 100 most influential people, based on a readers' poll conducted by the magazine. While that list also had Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the one released on Thursday and compiled by TIME's editors had only four people from India.
