The Indiaspora Business Leaders List includes 111 top executives of Indian descent. This powerful group accounts for more than  $ 7 trillion in annual revenue and clearly demonstrates the rise of the diaspora as C-level influencers.

The primary source documents for our compilation are the Forbes 500, Forbes Global 2000, and Fortune 500, data ending in Fiscal Year Feb 2024. The year 2024 has been groundbreaking as the number of female CEOs increased to from 48 to 53 in the Fortune 500.  Still, only approximately 10% of companies on the Fortune 500 list have women leaders.

As special points of interest, we would like to note: 

  • While our list features 11 remarkable women leaders out of 110, we recognize the imperative for greater inclusion and advancement for women in business.
  • The list also includes leaders of the largest Indian conglomerates, recognizing their influence and impact on the global stage, as they contribute significantly to the global economy and exemplify the spirit of Indian entrepreneurship.

For our 2024 list, we have identified some of the top names in business today. While some are household names, others may be less known. All are CEOs, Presidents, Chairs, or Board of Directors, who are leading the largest global companies today and are from all over the world.This list is not merely a showcase of individual success stories but also an acknowledgment of the collective influence of Indian-origin leaders on the world of global business.
