Ashish Mishra, the Managing Director of Interbrand stated that Tata’s strong position in brand value is due to Tata Consulting Services. Following Tata, Reliance and Airtel emerged at the second and third positions. The two companies retained their positions similar to the last year.

The study followed the same methodology that involves financial analysis, brand strength scores, and role of brand index from the last year.

The Global CEO of Interbrand, Jez Frampton, stated that India is one of the fastest growing economies across the world, and it presents a slew of opportunities and distinct challenge to the brand leader. Of the brands listed as the 30 best ones in the country, some are likely to rise as they have picked up the speed. They are not only keeping pace with the quickly developing country, but also keeping pace with the continuously changing needs of consumers in the country. These brands are to influence the other brands that foray into the market. They are creating a path that many brands might follow in the future.
