The Most trustworthy companies in India

Someone felt that Ratan Tata could be India’s Barack Obama. That comparison was wrong on two accounts. One, Ratan Tata does not talk about change but just brings it. Two, Ratan Tata has accomplished a lot so far and Barack Obama hasn’t done anything remarkable when the comparison was made - except for running a brilliant campaign. Now, there is already noise that Obama is repeating Bush’s mistakes. Where am I going with this?

Ratan Tata’s Tata Group is the most trustworthy business house in India.This was found in a poll conducted among domestic investors. The trustworthiness is for financial reporting. I don’t have anything else to say except for this - well done Tata.

This survey is in line with the previous survey conducted by Mint. Only difference is the Tata group companies were listed separately. In this case they were clubbed together which I think is a better thing. Because, in the group companies the DNA is already set. There won’t be much of a difference between Tata Chemicals and TCS in the way they operate.

10 Most trustworthy companies in India :

1. Tata group
2. Infosys
3. HDFC Group
4. L&T
5. Aditya Birla Group
6. Bharti Airtel
7. Sundaram/TVS Group
8. ICICI Bank
9. Mukesh Ambani Group
10. Anil Ambani group

Infosys is the lone IT company ( I have a thing for IT) in the list. Not only that it is up against some big conglomerates. Credit should be given to Infosys and its brand name. Credit should also be given to Infosys for the way they managed it. The peaceful transition of power in the management so far and keeping family members out of the daily running of business are not something we see very often.

Now, comes the tough part. I can’t resist this. I usually stay away from it but, take a dig at it once in a while. Yes, you guessed it right. It is the Reliance group. Reliance Industries is the most valuable Indian company and yet it is at number 9 as far as trust goes.
