Yunus, Sheeran, Hozier among Time's 100 Most Influential in 2025

Time magazine has released its 2025 list of the 100 most influential people, featuring a diverse array of global leaders and celebrities. Notable honorees include Muhammad Yunus, credited by Hillary Clinton for steering Bangladesh toward democracy and for his pioneering work with Grameen Bank to empower marginalized communities, particularly women. The entertainment sector is well-represented, with Ed Sheeran lauded for his universal appeal and personal storytelling in both public tributes and an interview reflecting on his career evolution. Artists such as Hozier, Scarlett Johansson, Adam Scott, Kristen Wiig, and Demi Moore also make the list, with categories spanning 'Artists,' 'Icons,' and 'Titans.' This year’s curation process, led by Dan Macsai and Cate Matthews, resulted in five cover stars, including Sheeran, Snoop Dogg, Demis Hassabis, Serena Williams, and Demi Moore. Notably, the 2025 list does not feature any Indian personalities, a departure from previous years.
