10 Entrepreneurs Disrupting the Industry in 2022

Clayton Christensen, a Harvard Business School professor, said that there are two ways for a business to be disruptive: when a product or service addresses a market that previously couldn’t be served, or when a product or service is a simpler, cheaper, or more convenient alternative to what is already in the market.

For entrepreneurs in any field, the competition can be fierce, and it’s hard to be disruptive in a saturated market. Yet there are entrepreneurs who have proven to be a cut above the rest with innovative ideas and dedication to change. Below is a list of the top 10 entrepreneurs disrupting their industry:
