India's most famous brand

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Well saw the thread where the poster was querying about the most popular PAK brand internationally.

What do you folks think is the most famous IND brand globally? NRI's and non-indians will be in a better position to answer this i suppose!

These are the few IND brands which i think are globally known somewhat...

- Reliance
- ICICI
- Tata
- Airtel
- Larsen & Tourbo (L n T)
- HDFC
- Infosys
- Wipro
- Axis
- DLF
- ITC
- Hero Honda
- HCL
- Videocon
- Venky's


Any other brands which i missed out!

[IgnitedMind]

Mahindra is quite famous too...it was one of the official sponsers of Fifa WC 2011. It was on the boards on the grounds.

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Sorry for missing those..

Lakme yes, but not sure about King fisher and Hindustan Lever ltd. Are they well known outside of our country!

[Geordie Ahmed]

Before I opened the thread Tata is the name that sprung to my mind, also Reliance I am familiar with because Anil Ambani has been linked with takeovers of premiership clubs

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Geordie, if you are familiar with EPL clubs and their owners i think you must have heard about Venky's (owners of Blackburn Rovers)

Yes indeed - they have something to do with poultry right?

At the moment they are a bit of a laughing stock cos they decided to sack the manager, only to replace him with his less experienced assistant and despite promises they have not spent any money on the team yet

Dont expect any Abrahmaesque spendings from them....

and they created a scene that they are going to catch Ronaldinho :facepalm:
But didn't spend anything seriously.

Typical Indian politician way of fooling people around

[guvi]

[BMW Power]

Surprised nobody has mentioned 2 of the biggest. The Brands with the biggest global awareness without doubt would be Jaguar and Land Rover. Though, originally, Jaguar and Land Rover were the pride of Britain's engineering prowess, they are now completely owned by Indian car maker Tata.

Sonata is a tata product

Is Vicks an Indian Brand? Vicks is a line of over-the-counter medications owned by the American company Procter & Gamble.

I don't think Bata is an Indian brand.

Jaguar and Land Rover are not Indian brands.
Considering that they've been legally taken over by an Indian company won't that construe as them being Indian brands now?

[Krishnan]

This thread is about indian brands globally.Within india every year AMUL has always managed to be number 1

[LethalSami]

i don't think there's any subcontinent or even Chinese company thats famous GLOBALLY........let alone in the West..

u could argue Jaguar/LandRover, recently bought by Tata..........but i don't think most sheeple know about it

[SAF]

They just brought them from Ford. They are still not homemade brands.

[SAF]

Those who mentioned Tata Motors.. Its a company, not a brand. Am I right?

[LethalSami]

^^its a brand also.......some products are labeled 'TATA"

in Jaguar/LandRover case, its the company behind it..........

[upper_Cut]

it must be TATA
http://indianautosblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Tata_Nano_flames_Mumbai_fire.jpg

[Sachin85]

Its Indian owned. Makes the cut I think.

Maybe the IIT graduates are the best known export. Great reputation and recognition. Mentioned in Dilbert comic strips etc.

TATA would be the best known abroad. They gained a lot of attention abroad with the worlds cheapest car and then again with the acquisition of Jaguar and Land Rover.

Jaguar, which was struggling with losses, has been doing really well after TATA picked it up. :)

Yes, simply due to the sheer number of indians :yk

No.

Jaguar Cars Ltd., known simply as Jaguar (/ˈdʒæɡjuː.ər/), is a British luxury car manufacturer, headquartered in Whitley, Coventry, England. A wholly owned subsidiary of the Indian company Tata Motors Ltd., it is operated as part of the Jaguar Land Rover business.

Land Rover is a British car manufacturer with its headquarters in Gaydon, Warwickshire, United Kingdom which specialises in four-wheel-drive vehicles. It is owned by the Indian company Tata Motors, forming part of their Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) group.[4] It is the second-oldest four-wheel-drive car brand in the world (after Jeep).[5]
Who owns it is irrelevant.

[nish_mate]

Jaguar and Land Rover are definetly not Indian brands...

[s2k]

Jaguar and Land Rover are owned by an Indian company....so in essence they are Indian brands.

Who owns who is not important here. Whats important is where the product is made and where it came from. :afridi

[AamchiMumbaikar]

So it's TATA

[Blitz]

Erm, because I've written so many anti Indian posts, I might get lambasted for being biased again, but no Indian brand really rings a bell :P


None of that stuff is really sold here.

I mean I know quite a few of those, but thats only from cricket!


I guess Venkys would be closest, having just bought BlackBurn and all.

Same here in USA. But I didnt bother writing that because I knew many here would just troll on me :D

Ownership is important.......Landrover and Jaguar are both Indian owned brands.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Not really

Blackburn Rovers are owned by an Indian company BUT they are most certainly not an Indian brand, they are British and will remain so regardless of the ownership. Similar Chelsea is British and not Russian, Liverpool British and not American, Man-City British and not Arab etc etc

[SAF]

GA explained it best.


Anyway, thread title should be 'India's most famous companies' instead of brands because half the names mentioned in this thread are companies not brands.

You cannot compare companies to clubs......

which country does Lenovo belong to?

[Geordie Ahmed]

which country does Lenovo belong to?

It is the same principle, ownership of a brand alone does not make it a brand of that country

If tomorrow say Tata bought Apple, I would not consider Apple to be an Indian brand

As for Lenovo, I have heard of the brand BUT not sure where it is from

[SempreSami]

Considering that they've been legally taken over by an Indian company won't that construe as them being Indian brands now?

Unless they start making cars that go 'put put put' the brand won't be construed as Indian.
