In photos: India’s big oxygen crisis

The deadly second wave of the Coronavirus sweeping across India has put a massive strain on the country’s health infrastructure. One of the biggest concerns has been the acute shortage of oxygen across hospitals in Delhi and the National Capital Region, Mumbai, and several other places. The last couple of weeks has seen hospitals across the national capital asking for help, pointing towards their fast-depleting oxygen reserves.
The crisis has another dimension. It has brought many citizens and civil society together in combating the issue. Many non-profit organisations and citizen-led volunteer groups have been working round-the-clock in trying to procure oxygen and making them available to the patients.

In the world’s youngest nation—where over 65% of the population is under 35—India’s future is already being shaped by those bold enough to lead it. From boardrooms to breakout ideas, a new generation of business leaders is rewriting the rules. This year's Fortune India’s 40 Under 40 celebrates these changemakers—icons in the making like Akash Ambani, Kaviya Kalanithi Maran, Shashwat Goenka, Parth Jindal, Aman Mehta, and Devansh Jain—who are not just carrying forward legacies but boldly reimagining them for a new era. Alongside them are first-generation disruptors like Sagar Daryani, scaling Wow! Momo with a vision to take ₹100 momos to 5,000 cities, and Palak Shah, turning the Banarasi weave into a global fashion story with Ekaya Banaras. These are the entrepreneurs turning ambition into scale. And even beyond traditional industry, the entrepreneurial wave is pulling in creative forces—Ranveer Singh, for instance, is shaking up wellness and nutrition with Bold Care and SuperYou, proving that passion, backed by purpose, is the new blueprint for building brands.
