TIME Magazine has categorized its top 100 list into four distinct groups: Leaders, Innovators, Shapers, and Thinkers.

TIME observed that while the previous year saw a surge in AI startups like OpenAI and Anthropic, 2024 has shifted focus to the substantial influence of major tech giants. These large companies provide the essential funding and computing power necessary for the rapid development of emerging AI technologies.
Additionally, TIME Magazine has spotlighted notable Indian figures beyond the tech industry. Ashwini Vaishnaw, the Indian Railways Minister, and Anil Kapoor, a renowned Indian actor, are among those featured.
