Alok Goel, 

CEO, Freecharge
age: 37
In one year, Freecharge moved from a desktop-only company to getting 90% of its transactions from mobile. Joining the company in September 2013 from redBus, Goel spent most of the initial months cobbling together a team that would match his zeal for execution. Then, early in 2014, the company put pedal to metal, finishing the year having grown 10 times, aided by nearly $113 million of funding. Goel is passionate about giving back to India’s startup ecosystem. “We have about 20 years to become a superpower,” he says.
