Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2025 list has been released, featuring prominent names worldwide. This year, no Indians were included on the list, a surprise given past appearances by Bollywood actors and Olympians.
However, Indian-Origin CEO Reshma Kewalramani, who leads Vertex Pharmaceuticals, made history as the first woman CEO of a large US biotechnology company. She immigrated to the US at age 11 and overcame obstacles to become a leader in her field.
Time Magazine highlighted Reshma’s achievements, noting that she can effectively push the limits of science while navigating regulatory processes. Her leadership led to the FDA approval of the first CRISPR-based therapy for sickle cell disease.
Reshma’s success is seen as a game-changer, paving the way for future breakthroughs in medicine that use DNA to treat diseases directly. Time Magazine praises her as a leader who can deliver extraordinary results, making history with this achievement.
