2020: The Challengers

Nothing tests the true mettle of leadership better than adversity. If the already slowing economy were not enough, the Covid pandemic and the lockdown further crippled businesses and left millions unemployed. GDP contracted 23.9 per cent in the first quarter of this fiscal. It is in this light that we need to see India today’s annual Power List this year. The 50 personalities featured here have one trait in common: rising above the ordinary in extraordinary times. Corporate czars like Mukesh Ambani or K.M. Birla are thinking ahead at a time when new-age enterprises threaten traditional businesses. Others, like Paytm’s Vijay Shekhar Sharma, Zomato’s Deepinder Goyal or Byju Raveendran are using the crisis as an opportunity to grow their business. Superstars such as Amitabh Bachchan or corporates like the Tatas are doing their bit by donating funds, arranging meals for the needy or spreading awareness to tackle Covid. Voices like those of Rajiv Bajaj or Kiran Mazumdar Shaw or Prashant Bhushan are keeping our moral compass steady. The power these men and women wield furthers not just their own cause but also illuminates the lives of others. That has been the one bright silver lining to the dark clouds of Covid that have eclipsed a greater part of 2020.
