India has been one of the fastest growing economies of the world at the
moment. Indian economy has been consistently growing above the rate of
8% for the past few years. Indian corporates and business houses have
played a critical role in the success story of Indian economy. In the
pre-1991 era, i.e. before economic liberalization, Indian companies were
operating in protected environment and were characterized by mediocrity
and inefficiency. But the adoption of economic liberalization unleashed
the latent entrepreneurial talent of Indian entrepreneurs and Indian
companies adapted wonderfully to the environment of cut-throat
competition. Today, many of Indian companies are at par with the best in
the world. Quite a few of them rank among the list of Fortune 500
companies. The recent acquisition of some of the global giants by top
Indian companies is a testimony of the coming of age of the Indian
Industry. We have put together a brief profile of the top 50 Indian
companies. We do not claim that these are the top 50 Indian corporates,
but they are well-known names of India Inc and have played a vital role
in the success of Indian economy. Hope you enjoy reading these profiles.
