RELIANCE INDUSTRIES

Forbes released its annual list of the Global 2000 this week with a number of Indian companies on the list. The largest Indian company (Reliance Industries) checks in at #193. What's interesting is the top 8 out of 10 Indian companies are all "old industry" (steel, utilities, oil and gas), with only two communication comapnies representing New India. I suspect this will change in 5 years, but for now the old industries still rule.

I have full-proof information that Reliance Industries is working overtime to reinvent its textiles brand, Vimal. According to company sources, the whole idea behind all this is to offer Italian styling at Indian prices. Point to be noted here is that Maurizio Bonas, an Italian designer, has been visiting India regularly to teach select tailors the intricacies of Italian style and tailoring.

Reliance Industries Limited, biggest private enterprise in India is in news these days. It’s not only the controversy about their retail chains but also their buying spree that caught the attraction of The India Street.
