The Big Companies in India

The Big Companies in India

This blog is to study how the top 10 big companies arise out of India. Is it purely due to the genius of the individual? Or is it the wish of the government or community which made these individuals rise to the top and make these companies? How much is the share of the genius and the community as compared to a Company in the West? Is it 50-50% (community-50%, self motivation-50%) as compared to 90-10% (community-90%, selfmovitation-10%)?

Most of the companies Mahindra, TATA, Birla, Reliance, Godrej were born out of Community and Society need as compared to companies in the West where they start with an idea. These are all family run businesses and not professional organizations. Organizations run by sons and daughters. Not people who can give the Society a home run with their business for their emotion, for their money and for anything else.

There are questions for the Society:

1. Who gave support to these companies ? What is the consequence on the Society for the initial push to these companies? (Remember the government eating up TATA’s airline)

2. As these companies came out of Societies need, not individual brilliance and perhaps with the help of a foreign hand (Mostly the British), how are we ever going to become truly independent as a Society, as a country (always dependent on the World)?

3. Do we allow these Companies to rule, dictate the market and give sub-standard service to us?

4. How do we set strict goals for the government to ensure liberalization, fair play in the market?

At the end our companies are a reflection of our Society. If our companies innovate, our culture and civilization is advancing. Otherwise the civilization is rotting. So, have you heard of any innovation from our companies in India in the recent past?

Caution: This might be all theory
