If the Forbes 30 Under 30 list proves anything -- it is that ambition, achievement and success know no age, gender or nationality. It comes as no surprise then that 19% of those who made the U.S. list this year were immigrants who were born outside the country and come from as many as 50 countries.

And out of that 19 %, more than half were born in Asia. 36 Chinese and 19 Indians feature on the prestigious list which aims to highlight 600 of America's young entrepreneurs and disruptors across 20 industries.

Their fields are as diverse as their backgrounds -- ranging from science and healthcare to tech, venture capital and even Hollywood and entertainment.
