Since becoming CEO in 2015, Pichai has overseen the integration of AI across platforms such as Search, Android and Chrome. <\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Ng noted that after the rise of ChatGPT in 2022, Pichai responded by merging Google Brain and DeepMind to create Gemini, reinforcing Google\u2019s position as a leading AI player. <\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">\u201cAfter OpenAI captured the public imagination with ChatGPT\u2019s 2022 launch, Google faced questions about its leadership in AI. Pichai responded decisively\u2026 Even though Google is 27 years old, Pichai\u2019s leadership has emphasized startup-like nimbleness, launching innovative AI products,&#8221; he wrote. <\/p>\n<p>Ranbir Kapoor<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who penned Kapoor\u2019s profile, described him as an actor who shapes audience sensibilities through restraint and authenticity rather than spectacle. <\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">\u201cRanbir has been doing that film after film. In a world where performances are often amplified, Ranbir internalizes. He shows our culture through quiet restraint. He represents the India that is finally learning how to listen to itself and leaves a mark through simple authenticity. Globally, actors like Ranbir become important cultural bridges,&#8221; Khurrana wrote. <\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">He added that Kapoor\u2019s work acts as a cultural bridge, taking Indian storytelling rooted in mythology, citing the upcoming movie Ramayana.<\/p>\n<p>Vikas Khanna<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Vikas Khanna&amp;url=https:\/\/www.news18.com\/world\/sundar-pichai-ranbir-kapoor-among-indians-in-times-100-most-influential-list-check-all-names-ws-l-10035329.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/static_news18\/pix\/ibnhome\/news18\/images\/Twitter_Icon.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload h5_twitter_icon\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\">Celebrated chef Eric Ripert highlighted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/viral\/vikas-khanna-chef-muslim-ramadan-fast-tribute-family-aa-9981565.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Vikas Khanna\u2019s humanitarian work<\/a> and cultural outreach alongside his culinary achievements. <\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\">Ripert wrote that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/entertainment\/television\/sanjeev-kapoor-to-vikas-khanna-check-out-the-net-worth-of-indias-richest-chefs-aa-9313359.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Khanna\u2019s influence<\/a> extends beyond food, using it as a means to connect communities and share Indian traditions globally.<\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\">\u201cWhat makes Vikas so unique is his ability to connect with people from every walk of life, using food as a universal language to build bridges and foster understanding,&#8221; Ripert wrote.<\/p>\n<p id=\"13\" class=\"story_para_13\">He also pointed to Khanna\u2019s restaurant Bungalow as a storytelling space that reflects heritage and memory.<\/p>\n<p>Handpicked stories, in your inbox<\/p>\n<p>A newsletter with the best of our journalism<\/p>\n<p>submit<\/p>\n<p>Location :<\/p>\n<p>Washington D.C., United States of America (USA)<\/p>\n<p>First Published:<\/p>\n<p>April 15, 2026, 23:30 IST<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/world\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">world<\/a>   Sundar Pichai, Ranbir Kapoor Among Indians In TIME&#8217;s 100 Most Influential List | Check All NamesDisclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
