PM Narendra Modi, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee and SII CEO Adar Poonawalla feature on Time Magazine's annual list of 'The 100 Most Influential People' in the world.
The profile of PM Modi, written by CNN journalist Fareed Zakaria, says India has had three pivotal leaders since independence - Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Narendra Modi. Narendra Modi (70) is the third, dominating the country's politics like no one since them.
West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee is described as the "face of fierceness in Indian politics", "Of Banerjee (66), it is said, she doesn't lead her party, the Trinamool Congress - she is the party. The street-fighter spirit and self-made life in a patriarchal culture set her apart."
The profile of SII CEO Adar Poonawalla says, "The pandemic is not over yet, and Poonawalla could still help end it. Vaccine inequality is stark, and delayed immunisation in one part of the world can have global consequences-including the risk of more dangerous variants emerging."
