Ambani changed the landscape of the Indian telecom market when he launched Jio in September 2016. His initial offering of free internet and voice calls, for a limited period, helped the company amass 100 million users in six months.

The list included Snap co-founder Evan Spiegel, Slack creator Stewart Butterfield, Alibaba logistics maestro Judy Tong as well as Saudi Arabia’s Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
