Cash magnets, cricketers, suave film personalities, media barons dominate the list of influential individuals in India Today’s power list of 2008.
Business tycoon Ratan Tata is on top of the 50 power pack people. Since the last five years, he has been a permanent ratan of the power list. He is the only billionaire of India who has tried to drive the ‘Nano’ hope into the lives of little India.
Close on Tata’s heels are the Ambani brothers. Mukesh Ambani maintains status quo at number two since 2005. But Anil Ambani has notched three places up to clinch the third position.
Shah Rukh Khan is 16 steps up. There is certainly no looking back for Khan, known for his endless energy. But Bollywood evergreen, the Big B, embroiled in some or the other controversy, has slid four points down to the 16 position.
Among the new entrants who have broken into the list, there is only one man with the "healing touch", Dr Pratap C. Reddy of Apollo Hospitals. ‘Mystic masseur’ Baba Ramdev, who made yoga a household obsession with his telly-evangelism, is at No. 46.
Achievers from the 2007 list who have slipped out this time include Nandan Nilekani, Arvind Kejriwal, Naina Lal Kidwai, Karan Johar, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala and Jeev Milkha Singh.
