Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus has taken place in the list of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People of 2025.

The list of the most influential persons was published today in the website of TIME, a global media brand built on 100 years of unparalleled trust and authority, with an audience of more than 100 million people worldwide, BSS reports.

US President Donald Trump, Tesla, SpaceX, and X owner Elon Musk, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Keir Starmer, Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum, Venezuelan Iron Lady María Corina Machado, South Korean leader Lee Jae-myung and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are among other global leaders in the list.

After a student-led uprising toppled Bangladesh’s authoritarian prime minister last year, a known leader stepped up to guide the nation toward democracy: Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus, TIME says in its web release.

Decades earlier, Prof Yunus established the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh to empower the most marginalised communities through small loans, helping millions-97% of them women- build businesses, sustain their families, and reclaim their dignity.

“I first met Yunus when he traveled to Arkansas to help the then governor Bill Clinton and me set up similar programmes in the USA. Since then, wherever I’ve traveled in the world, I have witnessed the extraordinary impact of his work- lives transformed, communities lifted, and hope reborn,” said Hillary Rodham Clinton, former US Senator and Secretary of State.

“Now, Yunus has answered his country’s call once more. As he shepherds Bangladesh out of the shadows of oppression, he is restoring human rights, demanding accountability and laying the foundations for a just and free society,” she said in the TIME’s release.​

TIME has named Dr Tahmeed Ahmed, Executive Director of icddrb, to the 2025 TIME 100 Health, its annual list recognising the 100 most influential individuals in global health.

This recognition highlights Dr Tahmeed’s pioneering contributions to maternal and child health, nutrition, and evidence-based health solutions in resource-limited settings. Under his leadership, icddr,b has strengthened its global impact through cutting-edge research and lifesaving interventions that have reached millions across Bangladesh and beyond, says a press release.

Dr Tahmeed will join fellow honourees at the TIME 100 Impact Dinner: Leaders Shaping the Future of Health on 13 May in New York.

“It is a profound honour to be included in TIME’s 2025 Health100 list,” said Dr Tahmeed.

“This recognition is not mine alone — it belongs to the brilliant scientists and staff of icddr,b, to our collaborators around the world, and to the communities we serve. I am deeply grateful to TIME for this spotlight, which I hope will help bring greater urgency to the fight against malnutrition and the need to invest in science that improves lives — not in war, conflict, or division, but in equity, health, and human dignity,” he added.​
