The "Autobiography" has been an inspiration for many people including George Harrison, Ravi Shankar and Steve Jobs. In the 2011 book "Steve Jobs: A Biography" the author writes that Jobs first read the "Autobiography" as a teenager. He re-read it in India and later while preparing for a trip, he downloaded it onto his iPad2 and then re-read it once a year ever since. India national cricket team captain, Virat Kohli said that the "Autobiography" influenced his life in a positive manner and also urged everyone to read it.
