Global Indian of the Year 2018-19

AsiaOne Magazine has been consistently highlighting the real people behind the world’s growth engines: People who work on the base, who create that platform which the rest of the world uses to build their structures – business, social and political. They are primus inter pares: other leaders look up to them for guidance and inspiration.

How AGOY 2018-19 will be Chosen?

Leaders who have made the most impact in a year, and consequently have made the world a better place in the aftermath, are selected as Global Indians of the Year. They may also have made a similar impact within a region of their activities in their specific category.

Thus, AsiaOne Global Indian of the Year is selected annually and might be a newsmaker or generally highly admirable because of their highly innovative ideas, excellent business, political, or administrative acumen, or extraordinary contributions to the society – leaving an indelible mark in the process.

We may later introduce an online poll for reader’s/people’s choice, and a certain weightage during selection may be calculated on that basis. However, the final decision rests with the Chief Editor of AsiaOne.
