They're young, ambitious and raring to go. Meet the game changers who are destined to achieve bigger goals and milestones in the years to come
The year 2023 was big for some. Take, for instance, Aaquib Wani, the man behind the Indian cricket team’s newly designed jerseys for the ODI, T20I, and Test formats. And cricketer Shubman Gill, who became only the third Indian batter to score 10 international centuries at the age of 24, joining Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli. Or even actor Tripti Dimri, who was praised for a “refreshing†and “full-bodied†performance in movies such as Animal and Qala. In addition to these, javelin star Neeraj Chopra brought home two gold medals from the Asian Games and World Championships last year.
These are just a handful of names from a cohort of 300-plus people who may be from diverse fields but have one thing in common—they’ve all been winners of Forbes India’s coveted 30 under 30 list.
As these past listees continue to make waves, we are back, now 11th year in a row, to catch them young and recognise the work they’re doing. And as always, the list does not comprise well-established names or next-generation entrepreneurs.
This year, we have 19 categories and a total of 38 winners, including co-founders and multiple winners under some heads.
Over the years, while we’ve found some exceptional people running companies that bridge gaps for customers, this year, we’ve gone a step ahead to find those helping other businesses thrive and introduced a new category—B2B.
