- The magazine’s annual compilation includes 600 go-getters across 20 industries.
Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, 21, the breakout star of Netflix’s “Never Have I Ever,” is over 70 young changemakers of Indian and South Asian origin in North America who have made it to this year’s Forbes magazine’s ’30 Under 30’ list for 2004, a compilation of 600 go-getters across 20 industries. In 2019, when Ramakrishnan auditioned for the role of Devi Vishwakumar, she was “one of 15,000 candidates in an open casting call for Mindy Kaling’s new show,” Forbes said. Despite having never acted professionally, “she won the role and has since won the hearts of millions,” as the series’ main character. The show wrapped this summer. Ramakrishnan, who grew up just outside Toronto, in Mississauga, Ontario, is currently enrolled in the Human Rights & Equity Studies program at York University.
Joining Ramakrishnan in the Hollywood & Entertainment section is Akanksha Singh, co-founder of Backdrop, a startup bringing the latest technologies to the entertainment world. Although Singh, 28, grew up in rural India “without access to electricity or a computer, it didn’t stop her from later obtaining a degree in computer science from the University of Michigan and going on to work at Microsoft,” Forbes said.
Twenty-five-year-old Rupal Banerjee, founder of Ru By Rupal is the lone Indian American in the Art & Style section. The fashion brand which “infuses aspects of the designer’s South Asian culture with modern streetwear styles,” has been worn by Lil Nas X, Kehlani, Jordyn Woods, and Kali Uchis, Forbes said. She was also a contestant on HBO Max’s “The Hype” streetwear competition show.
Two other categories — Media and Games — also include one Indian American each. The former features Anushka Joshi, 24, who founded GEN-ZiNE, while Abhi Shah, 29, director of 2K Games is in the latter.
Joshi founded a media company that covers issues across politics, lifestyle, and climate for young people in 2021. “Since launching as a print zine, it has expanded into hundreds of articles (both digital and print), a podcast, and two full-production documentaries,” Forbes said. The company has established 20 campus chapters across 12 states and three countries and pulls in more than 120,000 monthly impressions.
Shah leads live services strategy and product development at 2K Games for major licensed sports games. He provides audience insights to help shape WWE 2K’s DLC line-up. Previously, he worked for 5 years at Microsoft on the Xbox team, “eventually reaching the role of senior business planner,” Forbes said.
Included in the Food & Drink category for “redefining the way we eat, drink and think about consumption,” are Adam Ahmad, Zaeem Shahid, Raghav Poddar, and Vamsi Gadiraju.
Adam Ahmad, 29, is a first-generation Muslim, Indian-American founder who started Kea “to introduce artificial intelligence into restaurant phone calls, triaging incoming calls, transcribing orders and sending them directly to restaurants’ processing systems,” Forbes said. Kea charges “between 5% to 10% in commission from orders and is currently servicing over 600 restaurants.”
During the Covid-19 pandemic, Zaeem Shahid, 28, saw that employers were desperate to express gratitude and connect with their employees, but wanted something to give them that was more than just a paycheck. “So the Pakistani immigrant built a customizable snack service website, SnackMagic, with a ‘build-your-own box’ concept that allows employees to choose from over 700 lesser-known, local snack and beverage brands,” according to Forbes.
Raghav Poddar and Vamsi Gadiraju decided in 2019 to launch Superorder, “an all-in-one software platform that focuses on profitability from delivery and takeout,” Forbes said. It now “powers the operations of more than 1,000 restaurants in 30 states and 180 cities.” Poddar, who grew up in Nepal, and came to the U.S. to study computer science at Columbia University, came up with the idea for Superorder while in the Y Combinator accelerator.
