Bharti Airtel among top 10 best cos in the WORLD

Bharti Airtel Ltd, a leading telecom services provider, has been ranked among the top 10 best performing companies in the world by Business Week.

Describing the company as a highly innovative company, the magazine improved Bharti's ranking from last year's 19 to ten this year. The telecom service provider was the only Indian company ranked that has made it to the list, a company statement said here.

Bharti was ahead of Motorola (ranked 11), Google (13), Microsoft (37), Hewlett Packard (44) and Oracle (51).

On being ranked tenth, Bharti Airtel Chairman and Managing Director Sunil Bharti Mittal said: "It has always been our endeavour to create a world-class organisation that provides best in class services. We are proud to be up there with the very best in the world."

The companies ranked by the Business Week were ranked on four criteria -- return of equity, revenue growth,, shareholder return (given equal weight) and total revenue (which was weighted), the release added.

Well, this wasn't a top international award, but a recognition given by Business Week magazine based on those four criterias - return of equity, revenue growth,, shareholder return (given equal weight) and total revenue (which was weighted). I guess Bharthi gained more with the better Shareholder Return rank. View the complete list here

Bharti is indeed on a high after it was adjudged as the "Wireless Service Provider of the Year" and Sunil Mittal was the adjudged "CEO of the Year (Service Provider)" at the Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific ICT Awards recently. They are rolling out "Triple Play" (phone, internet and cable TV) in 90 cities across India in 4 - 5 months as per media reports.
