Here are the top ten most admired people across the world, according to India’s ratings. 

The list features 20 men and 20 women from around the world. The company also released a region-wise version of the list, where the names of the world’s most admired in 2018, could also appear on the basis of a specific country.

For instance, according to the survey, Indian survey respondents were of the opinion that S Officer Kiran Bedi, Badminton star PV Sindhu and social activist Malala Yousafzai were among the world’s most admired women.

In terms of men who left a mark in the period between 2017-2018, the survey showed Indian respondents as picking Prime Minister Narendra Modi, MS Dhoni, Barack Obama, Bill Gates and Amitabh Bachchan.
