No Indians made the cut to be featured in TIME magazine라이브 바카라 latest edition of world라이브 바카라 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 patients’ own DNA mutations," Kewalramani라이브 바카라 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 Trump라이브 바카라 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 Bangladesh라이브 바카라 interim chief and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus is in the top 100 under ‘Leaders’ 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, Bollywood라이브 바카라 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 TIME라이브 바카라 list after his third victory to office. 

In fact, the last time he featured in the TIME라이브 바카라 most influential people라이브 바카라 list was in 2021.

Modi has been on the magazine라이브 바카라 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 'India라이브 바카라 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 World라이브 바카라 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 TIME라이브 바카라 cover.

The 2024 general elections was the first time Modi’ 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 “face of fierceness in Indian politics” by journalist Barkhaa Dutt in TIME's profile. 

Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh was on the cover of the magazine라이브 바카라 Asia edition in 2012, titled ‘Underachiever’; also featuring in the TIME100 list in 2005 and 2010.
