“India has the advantage of size. The scope of growth and excess capacity present in terms of resources would drive growth in the future.” Chief Economist at ratings firm Care, Madan Sabnavis.
“Over the last year, the 500 largest corporations have grown sales by 21.5 per #162 the median growth has been even higher, at about 25 per cent. Such statistics are impressive, no doubt. There also appears to be a fair degree of churn-there are 57 new companies, around 11 per cent of the list. That’s always a good sign because it indicates that the laggards are falling by the way, to be replaced by smarter and hungrier ones. The good news, however, is that many of the Fortune India 500 companies are now beginning to shape the world’s opinion of India for the better. And they may just be doing a better job than their Chinese counterparts.” Fortune Magazine
