BENGALURU: Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai were named the most influential global Indians, with each garnering recognition from 56% of survey participants. This was part of the HSBC Hurun Global Indians List 2024.
Following these tech leaders were Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian, who received 28% of the votes, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan with 27%, and Tesla’s chief financial officer Vaibhav Taneja, who secured 22% of respondents’ votes.
The survey was conducted based on Hurun’s internal dataset, with insights from over 400 wealth-creators, including participants from the Hurun Rich List, Hurun Future Unicorn Index, and Hurun India 500. The list featured 27-year-old Tanay Tandon, co-founder and CEO of Commure, as its youngest member. Alongside him was Aravind Srinivas, the 30-year-old co-founder and CEO of Perplexity.
The list included individuals across age groups, from Tandon to Gopichand Hinduja, aged 84. The survey comprised 57% first-generation business founders, 41% professionals, and 2% inheritors, with 12 women holding leadership positions. “Women leaders from HSBC Hurun Global Indians List 2024 were equally inspiring too.
