Those who move the markets

Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan took charge of India's central bank when the rupee seemed to be in a tailspin while the country was facing runaway inflation. He stabilised the rupee and put up a more credible fight against inflation. These actions have landed him on the fourth annual Bloomberg Markets 50 Most Influential list, which will appear in the magazine's October special issue. He, however, isn't the only Indian banker on the list. The list also features State Bank of India Chairman Arundhati Bhattacharya. A selection of the 50 on the list:
