New Delhi: Nothing like a little bit of competition to spur one on to do better, especially if it's from your own sibling.

This seems to be working well for the two Ambani brothers, Mukesh and Anil who have been jointly named among the world's 50 most influential people in business by Fortune group's 2.O magazine.

The magazine says that their bitter rivalry has goaded them to steer their respective businesses to new heights and have ranked them 31 ahead of the likes of global soft drink giant PepsiCo CEO, Indra Nooyi and Virgin Group's founder, Richard Branson.

The list was however topped by Google trio - CEO Eric Schmidt and co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Bin.

At number two is the CEO of apple Steve Jobs.
