This year's list of 100 Most Creative People spans entertainment to medicine, fashion to technology, academia to social enterprise; companies from Foursquare to Samsung to Starbuck; locations from the Mideast to the sub-Sahara.

This year has been an outstanding year in terms of creative achievements for Taproot India.  While the creative boutique walked away with over 18 metals at the Goa Fest this year, it was named Creative Agency of the Year at the Ad Fest 2013, Thailand. Further, the prestigious Gunn Report 2012 ranked the agency as the Number 1 Creative Agency in India.

Speaking on the global recognition, Agnello Dias, Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer, Taproot India said, “I am quite thrilled on hearing this actually, because while buried in work one normally tends to use only the advertising and marketing fields as reference points. To have been noticed, let alone recognised, across all forms of creativity and business and that too globally, is humbling to say the least.”

“This is a fantastic recognition. Aggi is the only Indian advertising professional on this list. The entire Dentsu Network is truly proud of him,” said Rohit Ohri, Executive Chairman, Dentsu India Group, on Agnello’s inclusion in the coveted list of business leaders.

Fast Company magazine’s 100 Most Creative People in Business list come from diverse industries around the globe. Akin to the four prior years, the 2013 edition features only people who haven't been on any previous lists or profiled in the magazine before.

Nate Silver, whose FiveThirtyEight.com blog on the New York Times website successfully predicted the results of the US Presidential elections have been ranked Numero Uno on the list.
