In this issue

This year’s 35 Under 35 cohort reflects a generation that thinks deeply about impact before scale, resilience before applause, and authenticity before optics. From reimagining consumer brands and building frontier technology to redefining leadership, wellness, finance, and creative expression, these young leaders are solving real problems with clarity and conviction. They are not chasing disruption for its own sake; they are building institutions, platforms, and ideas meant to endure.

Her career began not on Instagram, but behind a microphone—hosting prime-time breakfast shows as a radio jockey after first working as a show producer.

I just didn’t know yet where it would eventually take me.” When her seniors nudged her toward digital content around 2017, Gupta was hesitant.

There was no safety net, no inherited business, and no external capital. What he did have was a sharp instinct for how value is created in the digital economy-and how often it is left on the table.
