(This is the 2nd in the series of blogs that I will be writing in an attempt to brush up my general awareness, my writing skills, and of course, to substantiate the raison detre of my blog: s p a c e. For starters, the blogs will be intensive in facts and figures, with justifiable opinions, added here and there. Content will be sourced from Wikipedia and other miscellaneous sites. Intention will be to repackage the information into simpler forms)
India Inc. is a term used to refer to the 'formal' sector of the nation. By formal, here, we mean well orgnanised instututions and enterprises, that have a critical and major contribution in a nation's economy. According to the surveys done, it has been seen that India Inc. employed just 7% of the national workforce, and yet contributed 60% to the nominal GDP of the nation.
There are well over 8 lakh companies in India. Not surprisingly, 1/5th or 20% each headquartered in Maharashtra and Delhi, and 1/8th in West Bengal (and they say, Communists are anti-industrial-development). Of all the companies in India, a huge majority are the Private Limited Companies.
Any body, aiming for an MBA, must know about the major companies in India, that have made a mark on not just the national economy, but even international discourse.
To begin, I decided to do a basic study of the INDIAN companies listed in the FORBES GLOBAL 2000 ranking for the year 2010. It should be noted, that this is a list considering only the PUBLIC companies, and had been prepared based on certain parameters, which when changed, could affect changes in the list itself!
