Bengaluru, Apr 17: Learning that I was among the world's most influential people was shocking at first and an humbling experience, says no-frills carrier AirAsia's CEO Tony Fernandes.
He has been named among the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine.
"It is a tremendous honour to be included in TIME's top 100 list – I was shocked when I first received the news but I am very proud and humbled," Fernandes said in a statement today.
