30 Young Achievers Who Are Setting Benchmarks In Their Chosen Field

Now in its sixth edition, the Forbes India 30 Under 30 List accentuates what we want to know: That the country’s young business leaders and professionals have pulled their way beyond passion, grit and potential. Entrepreneurs are seeing the impact of India’s growing internet boom and smartphone connectivity in sustainable B2B models. Sports persons and those in the entertainment world are setting new benchmarks. Also, it’s not just about putting up a prolific performance in a year. Everyone, especially those from creative fields like design and fashion, understands that one needs to consistently deliver the goods to have a solid body of work that can be spoken about in glowing terms.

As with previous years, we have steered clear of considering well-established names, next-generation entrepreneurs at the helm of family-run businesses or those with an influential lineage. Through our own research and conversations with industry experts, we short-listed names—from a long list of about 175 people—to just 30 that met our broad criteria: The impact of achievement, ability to disrupt the system and innovate, scalability of the business and potential to emerge as a winner.

This year, we have introduced new categories (taking the total to 16 compared to 15 in 2018)—industry, manufacturing and energy, advertising, marketing and media’ and agriculture—and bifurcated some from last year. Several promising names such as LetsTransport and Wakefit emerged from these sectors, which could not be ignored.

Many of those profiled this year have already tasted success, but have not let stardom affect them. Take, for instance, actor Vijay Deverakonda, a rising star in Telugu cinema, who consciously tries to remain sane for his own good. He is simple, grounded and clear of the path that he wants to take. Or athlete Hima Das for whom success means about setting newer goals and achieving them.
