Undergraduate / Is it OK to write about a entrepreneur from India? (Apply Texas essay topic help) [3]

I'm working on my ApplyTexas essays and Topic A says to write about a person who has impacted you. Is it ok if I write my essay about a entrepreneur from India? I've never actually met him, but I've read his autobiography and articles about him. And they have really exposed me to new ideas and shown me a lot of things about life.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
