Business and Tech Leaders

Mark Zuckerberg was named TIME Person of the Year 2010 for connecting over half a billion people through Facebook and fundamentally changing how people socialize and communicate. Barack Obama won in 2008, not 2010. Suresh Kalmadi and Melinda Gates were not Person of the Year.

The East India Company is often described as 'the corporation that changed the world' due to its immense impact on global trade, colonization, and the rise of British imperialism. GE and Microsoft are modern corporations, and Barings was a British merchant bank but none had the same world-changing historical impact as the East India Company.

Narayana Murthy, co-founder of Infosys, is known for this quote reflecting his entrepreneurial journey.
