From the Secretary General
This edition of Business Digest is special. For, the Lead Story package is
an analysis and listing of our top member companies. We call this
unique list: ‘FICCI 500’.
Companies across the spectrum have realised that if Indian industry is to be
an active participant in the building of a New India, they would need a
platform where business, society and the government can work and grow
together. An industry association where members’ concerns for a mutually-
beneficial policy agenda can be shaped collaboratively. A Federation of
businesses which the government at the Centre and those in the states can
trust and have confidence that local, regional and national priorities will be
taken care of.
This shared agenda has brought together India’s pre-eminent companies as
part of the FICCI family. To that extent, FICCI 500 is a microcosm of the
evolving and growing India Inc. It comprises the traditional family businesses;
the post-independence public sector companies that helped shape the
economy; multinationals in India which have established themselves before
and after the 1991 reforms and the best of Indian entrepreneurship
represented through the first- and second generation led companies like
Reliance, Bharti Enterprises, Edelweiss and Cadila and the young disruptive
start-ups like OYO and Makemytrip.
Other reports in this issue include those of FINCON 2018, the 19th annual
insurance conference of FICCI, held in Mumbai; the India-ASEAN
Commemorative meetings in New Delhi organised in association with the
Ministries of External Affairs, Commerce and Industry, Textiles and Youth
Affairs; FICCI’s Smart City Summit addressed by Mr. Hardeep Singh Puri,
Minister of State (Independent Charge), Housing and Urban Affairs; the high
profile Indo-Japanese and Indo-Israel
pow-wows where FICCI had the pride
of honour of being the leading
industry partner and the India-UK
JETCO Meeting in London where
FICCI had the benefit of the presence
of Mr. Suresh Prabhu, Minister for
Commerce & Industry, Government
of India, and Mr. Liam Fox, Secretary
of State of State for International
Trade & President of the Board of
Trade, UK.
As Business Digest evolves itself
with new sections, ideas and
editorial innovations, we look
forward to your valuable feedback.
