India stands at a threshold moment defined by the imagination of its people and the power of their intent. Across every field, individuals and enterprises are reimagining what is possible - building, creating, and leading with purpose. It signals a new kind of confidence - so pronounced and visible in a new, resurgent India. The NDTV Indian of the Year 2025 is a reflection of this spirit. Those we celebrate this year are not defined by their victories alone, but by the questions they dared to ask and the frontiers they chose to cross.
