HELLO!, a magazine that has always applauded success stories, salutes the top Indians who are profiles of perfection. In this relaunch issue, it captures their world, giving each of us a peek into their spirited journey so far.

As the world struggles with the chaos that is the Covid pandemic and turns to a whole new universe online, as India allows new enterprises and self-made billionaires to flourish, as the world shrinks into one global village, we hand-pick Indians to celebrate their journey and map their success.

At the top of the chart is our own messiah of wellness, Adar Poonawalla, who holds the promise of helping India out of Covid with his vaccine, Covishield. Then there’s Priyanka Chopra Jonas, whose talent and hard work have made her a global ambassador for India today, and Virat Kohli, a favourite among brands and the Indian national cricket team skipper with an indomitable spirit. On the more business side of things, we acknowledge the power of Nithin and Nikhil Kamath’s claim to fame with their brainchild Zerodha, and the meteoric rise of Vijay Shekhar Sharma, the humble, rooted chief of digital payments giant Paytm.
