The TIME100 Most Influential People in Philanthropy 2025 list “tells the stories of how generous donors and leaders of foundations and non-profits are directing funding into the communities that need it most,” according to the publication.

The list includes Mukesh and Nita Ambani who, Time said, gifted Rs 407 crore (about USD 48 million) in 2024, “placing them among the country's biggest donors.” Noting that Mukesh and Nita Ambani are “empowering millions”, the Time profile said the billionaire philanthropist couple's “charitable initiatives are as varied and wide-ranging as the business empire that earned them an estimated USD 110 billion fortune.”
