New Delhi / Mumbai, July 15, 2013: Global management consultancy, Hay Group, in
association with Fortune India, has released the findings of the second edition of India’s Most
Admired Companies (IMAC) research. Business solutions major Tata Consultancy Services
(TCS) has topped the ranking for 2013, followed by Hindustan Unilever (HUL), ITC, and
Infosys rounding up the top three.
The study is based on a unique peer ranking methodology, which covered 493 companies
across the economy’s 16 key sectors. A total of 552 respondents participated to rank their
peers across a scale of ten parameters - corporate governance, endurance, performance,
quality, financial soundness, innovativeness, leadership, talent management, social
responsibility, and global business. Hay Group partners with Fortune globally, using a similar
methodology, to develop the World’s Most Admired Companies.
TCS tops the list this year, replacing last year’s winner, group company Tata Steel, by scoring
highest on parameters such as corporate governance, financial soundness, and talent
management. Second-ranked FMCG HUL has been rated highest on its endurance and
product quality, while ITC and Infosys share the joint third spot. SBI, L&T, Tata Steel,
ONGC, Maruti Suzuki, and ICICI Bank also feature in the top ten (table 1).
Gaurav Lahiri, Managing Director, Hay Group India, comments, “Hay Group India is
excited to roll out the second edition of India’s Most Admired Companies in partnership with
Fortune India. This year, two criteria in particular, Leadership, and Creating Shareholder
Value, separated the Top 10 from the rest of the winners, with Talent Management coming in
a close third.”

Interestingly, last year’s top ten did not include any PSEs - accounted for by SBI and ONGC
this year. ICICI makes its debut in the top ten this year, while Colgate Palmolive, Tata
Motors, and Dell India all have slipped down the order compared to their ranking last year.
The study has also compiled sectoral rankings for 16 key industries – based on their
performance on the ten evaluation criteria for the study. The sector toppers are listed in table

A new addition to the 2013 study is the Endorsement list – where companies were ranked
based on unprompted endorsements by peers. This ranking threw up some surprises and, in
many cases, differed from the overall rankings – for instance, HUL tops this list, followed by
TCS and Infosys. Bharti Airtel, ranked 19th
in the overall rankings, featured at 11th
place in
the Endorsements section, while Cisco Systems India appeared at 26, a big leap from its
overall ranking of 40.
Adds Gaurav Lahiri, “As demonstrated by the IMACs, in today’s uncertain business
environment, it is more important than ever for organizations to create shareholder value
through good leadership and talent management practices.”

company was then ranked within its industry by a peer group comprising of executives from that industry. A
total of 552 respondents participated in Phase I.
A shortlist of 75 companies, that is, industry leaders derived in Phase I, was then created based on the
industry rankings. In Phase II, the 75 companies shortlisted were ranked, across industries, by each other,
overall as well as across the selection criteria. A total of 108 respondents participated in Phase II. The overall
ranking of India’s Most Admired Companies was thus obtained.
