ONDON: Five Indians, including Ranbaxy chief Malvinder Mohan Singh, have been named among the 40 most influential people in the global pharmaceutical industry by a UK magazine for their contribution to this business.

These Indians, who also include former Drugs Controller General of India and top officials at drug makers Aurobindo Pharma and Panacea Biotec and a drug producers' association, share the honours with the likes of legendary investor Warren Buffet and former US president Bill Clinton in the list.

The list has been topped by Nobel prize winners Marlo R Capecchi, Sir Martin J Evans and Oliver Smithes together, followed by international pharma giant Genentech's Chairman and Chief Executive Arthur Levinson at the second position.
