Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani topped the Forbes list of 'Global Game Changers' who are transforming their industries, and changing the lives of billions of people around the globe. “Oil and gas tycoon entered India's telecom market with a bang, offering fast internet at dirt-cheap prices. Gained 100 million customers in six months and set off a wave of consolidation in the market,” Forbes described him. Ambani was quoted as saying, “Anything and everything that can go digital is going digital. India cannot afford to be left behind.”

The second annual list includes 25 “intrepid business leaders” who are “unsatisfied with status quo” and “transforming their industries and changing the lives of billions of people around the globe.”

“While plenty of corporate functionaries make headlines for successful turnarounds or record profits, we sought to identify true movers and shakers who are determining the course of the future for more than just their own shareholders or employers,” it said. The list also includes James Dyson, Larry Fink, Deputy Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman, Evan Spiegel, Didi Chuxing, and Christo Wiese.
