New York, New York – This morning, TIME named Rohan Pavuluri, Upsolve CEO and co-founder, to its annual list of the next 100 most influential people in the world. Other honorees include singer Dua Lipa, Senators Raphael Warnock, Jon Osoff, and Ben Sasse, U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, TikTok star Charli D'Amelio, singer Doja Cat, and Instacart CEO Apoorva Mehta.
An expansion of the TIME100 list of the most influential people in the world, TIME100 Next highlights 100 emerging leaders who are shaping the future of business, entertainment, sports, politics, health, science and activism, and more. The full list and related tributes appear in the Mar. 1 / Mar. 8 issue of TIME, available on newsstands on Friday, Feb. 19, and now at time.com/next.
In response to the honor, Pavuluri said, "I'm lucky to have the best team, funders, and community of users in the world at Upsolve. Without their early conviction, creativity, and commitment, none of this would be possible. Over the last three years, we've built one of the most important resources and brands in America for low-income and working-class families navigating financial hardship. But it's still the early innings and I'm energized to keep pushing."
