Great to see new faces:)
Good top 100, but convulted and lopsided ranking list.. Looks like ranking is basis popularity and visibility in events! The real power people and industry veterns- the likes of Vinod Thadani, Maddy, ratish, unny, neville are languishing at the bottom! And whats Vikram chandra doing in this list? Satyan gajwani shoukd be at the very no 1…
Wonderful list! couldn’t agree more
A Comprehensive list of all movers and shakers of the industry! Thanks guys!
Nice to see this being put into place. Some quick observations on the winners (all of them are winners, really!)
Really awesome, what they have achieved
Deep Karla: From startup to being listed on NASDAQ – truly an inspiration to us all
Satyan Gajwani: Wunderkind!
Sachin & Binny Bansal: They make sure my book collection is always well stocked
Dippak Khurana: Big innovator! Really created a marketplace where there was none – making a lot of developers and advertisers really happy
Roopak Saluja: Gives his client a Bang for their buck… good to see him on this list – underrated!
Phew – many more on the list, but these are my 2 cents!
Thanks for compiling a great list Pitchonnet!
nice list!
So many great names on this list and great to see our CEO making the top 100! India is a hotbed of innovation and brilliant minds, watch out Silicon Valley!
just wondering how come Mr. deepak khurana of a xxxxx (words moderated by Moderator) mobile network vserv is ahead of so many real mavricks.
