Tata, Nooyi among top 25 biz powerhouses
New York: India's top corporate leader Ratan Tata has been named by global business magazine Fortune as one of the top 25 most powerful business heads, along with steel tycoon L N Mittal and PepsiCo's Indra Nooyi.
The Fortune ranking closely follows a list by another global business publication Forbes, released earlier this month that named India's richie-rich led by Mittal and Ambanis, but there was no mention of Ratan Tata.
In the Fortune list released on Tuesday, Tata has been named as the world's 23rd most powerful person in business, ahead of CEOs of international media and entertainment giant Walt-Disney and French luxury goods major LVMH.
PepsiCo chief Nooyi, who was named at the top of a separate Fortune list of world's most powerful business women for second year in a row last month, has been ranked at 22nd in the latest list, topped by Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs.
Mittal, largest shareholder and CEO of the world's largest steelmaker ArcelorMittal, is ranked top among the three people of Indian origin. Ranked 14th position in the list, Mittal's name figures ahead of of international giants like JPMorgan Chase, Hewlett-Packard, Boeing, BHP Billiton, Blackstone and Mexican business tycoon Carlos Slim.
Apple's Jobs is followed by media baron Rupert Murdoch (2nd), Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein (3rd), Google's founder-CEO trio Eric Schmidt, Larry Page and Sergei Brin (4th) and legendary investor and Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett (5th).
"Some are empire builders. Others are hired guns. But if they truly have world-class oomph, they're on Fortune's subjective - yet really quite accurate - list of the most powerful business people in the world," the magazine said in its cover story of the latest issue.
