Reliance Industries

Reliance Industries is the biggest company in India. Though given the range of industries it indulges in (including telecom, retail, and natural resources), we’re not very surprised. Also, why else do you think Mukesh Ambani is right up there with the Forbes top 10 richest people in the world too?

TATA Group

TATA Group has a market cap of ₹ 8,10,000 crores. Combine that with the fact that it employs more than 420,000 of the top consultants in 50 countries, and you get the biggest multinational company in India. The Tata Group is awesome tho, it has been solving major real-life problems in India since its inception. You know, including the promise of a stable career for desperate engineers in the last rounds of college placements.

HDFC Bank

HDFC Bank is third on this list with a market capitalization of ₹ 841,984 crores. And with even that kinda power and impact, it continues to have a record of being a stable and trusted name in the finance sector. Pretty surprising given a lot of banks in India are infamous for their relationships with bad boy billionaires, no?

Infosys

Infosys is the OG homegrown IT company of India. In fact, it’s one of the first few companies for which Bangalore came to be known as the Silicon Valley of India. Like, remember how that cool elder cousin of yours was the stuff of legend amongst you and your relatives because he worked in Infosys? Well, that was the equivalent of stalking someone on LinkedIn back in the day.

Hindustan Unilever

Hindustan Unilever is probably the best company in India in the personal care industry. And they’re widely known as one of the safest stocks to invest in by most stock traders. Interesting how a company that sells Horlicks and Knorr Soups can have so much impact on the economy, no?

HDFC

Nope, we didn’t just make the mistake of naming HDFC twice. Actually, HDFC Bank and HDFC are two different entities. The former purely happens to be a private bank regulated under RBI and the latter is the parent company under which there are several other subsidiaries. Yup, things are a tad more complicated when it comes to big companies. The reason why there are a bazillion financial educational pages turning up on Instagram right now.

ICICI Bank

ICICI Bank is one of the most successful private banks in the country. In fact, the bank’s profit after tax increased by 19 percent year-on-year in the last quarter. So ICICI might have been a common tongue twister to laugh about with your classmates back in school, but with that much money in their bank, they get to include as many I’s and C’s in their name, don’t they?

Bajaj Finance

Few financial services can match Bajaj Finance when it comes to wealth management and insurance. And they’ve shown exponential growth rates in the last decade too. Though it’s not very surprising, given Bajaj Finserv’s no-cost EMI plans are why most millennials get to change their smartphones every financial year lol.

State Bank of India

SBI is a public sector bank with its headquarters in Mumbai. And apart from providing stellar bank services to every section of the population, they have investment schemes as solid as they come. Take, for example, their trusted mutual funds. In fact, these mutual funds have such a strong ROI that it even compensates for their employees ghosting customers before, during, and after lunch hours.

Kotak Mahindra

With a market cap of 53.3 billion, Kotak Mahindra secures the 10th position in this list of the top companies in India. Also, we’ve heard it’s a lucrative place to work with quick appraisals and a nice work environment. So overly confused graduates, think no more. Fill up that bank exam form asap.
