Modi redefines men's style, left a firm stamp online

BANGALORE, INDIA: Being the most sought-after political leader online, Prime Minister Narendra Modi now grabs the top slot in the political top 10 list of Yahoo in 2014 as well.

From dominating the political arena to putting Indian traditional menswear on the International map, Modi left a firm stamp on style trends in 2014. His signature Modi kurta and variation of the Nehru achkan coat were among the most-searched beauty and style trends.

The slew of reforms and Modi’s efforts to improve diplomatic ties were of ongoing interest to Yahoo users. ‘Make in India,’ the three magic words that constitute Modi’s mantra while abroad, made it to the top of the list of 'Biggest Financial Events of the Year'.

Coming to the nation’s most influential people, Mukesh Ambani remains at the No. 1 spot, with Tata Group boss Cyrus Mistry and Gautam Adani, chief of Adani Group of Industries, making up the top 3.

Also on this year’s list are Apple CEO Tim Cook,  Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Infosys CEO & MD Vishal Sikka. The e-tailing sector’s domination by ‘the Bansals’ ensured they were Finance Newsmakers for the year.

Looking at the tech gear Yahoo users searched for this year, three Apple products appear in the top 10 gadget searches, with iPhone 6 coming in at No.1. Samsung clocked in with two Galaxy devices. The other in the top list include Microsoft XBox One, Amazon Kindle Fire, Sony PlayStation 4, Apple iPad Air.
