The power of unleashed animal spirits

After business and economyconsiderable brainstorming and some number crunching (alright, we admit it: after a lot of number crunching and soul searching!), the editorial team at Business & Economy and the IIPM Think Tank decided to seal this issue with a KISS! Before you get us wrong, our kiss harks back to that old cliché that says, Keep It Simple, Stupid! In this age of information overload and overdose, people oft en tend to forget that simplicity and brevity can never be matched by jargon and mumbo jumbo when it comes to explaining things. And the final pristine fact is that truly, there can be no other factor more important than the profit figure to assess the current position of any firm, across industries, across geographies. So B&E decided to take net profits as the parameter on which is based our exclusive list of 100 most profitable companies of India.

Readers of Business & Economy are familiar with the fact that corporate India is awash with profits at this moment. Even public sector companies have registered astonishing profits in 2006-07. So while Dalal Street celebrates, we also pay a tribute to a few visionaries who pioneered the rise and rise of India Inc. in the 1990s when pundits had written off Indian companies. Hats off to J.R.D. Tata, Dhirubhai Ambani, Aditya Birla and O.P. Jindal – four men who took profits to a new moral dimension. The dreams they dreamt are turning into a reality now.
