Flipkart founders Sachin and Binny Bansal are in the 2016 TIME 100, its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.

TIME writes in Sachin and Binny’s profiles, “Binny and Sachin do have modest lifestyles, by billionaire standards, but they’re also nimble tacticians and hardheaded realists, and they dream big."

The Flipkart duo have been included under the ‘Titan’ section of the list, a group that includes Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai, Tim Cook and the likes.

“We are humbled and honored to feature in this list. This is truly a recognition of the Indian internet ecosystem and its role in using technology to solve local problems that is enabling Indians to lead a better life,” the Bansals said.

Other tech leaders who have appeared on the TIME 100 most influential over the years include Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Tim Cook, Steve Ballmer and Travis Kalanick.
