Reliance industries may be the biggest corporate brand in India, but Bharti Airtel is the strongest. The country’s largest
mobile operator is the only corporate brand to be awarded the AAA rating, or “extremely strong”, in Brand Finance’s Brand Power Rating (BPR).
BPR reflects a brand’s strength in the marketplace compared to its competitors and how effectively a company converts this into business results, while brand value is the proportion of a company’s
overall value directly attributable to the use of its trademark
Airtel has managed to improve its brand strength in spite of increasing competition at the marketplace, from AA+.
Two other telecom operators in the Top 50 list, Reliance Communications and Idea Cellular, both saw their brand strength slip from A+ last year to A- and BBB-, respectively.
A much more dramatic fall in terms of brand strength was that of Jet Airways. With the aviation industry particularly the full service carriers, going through serious turbulence, Jet saw its
brand rating descent from a chart-topping AAA- last year to a ground-level BBB.
While India did well to keep the economy growing even as the world went through its worst economic recession since the 1930s, the economic turmoil did dent some big brands including real estate
major DLF, top private sector bank ICICI Bank and software firm HCL Technologies.
Most companies in the auto sector, which led the country’s drive out of the slowdown, improved their rating. India’s most valuable (company) brand, RIL, too managed to improve its brand rating to
AA+ from AA-.
Leading carmaker Maruti Suzuki scored AAA-, up from AA-, SUV maker Mahindra & Mahindra rose to AA from AA- and two-wheeler leader Hero Honda got AA+ compared to A+ last year.
Interestingly, IT industry majors TCS, Infosys Technology and Wipro managed to retain their brand ratings.

It is very interesting to invest in shares, though
most of the people would like to start with small money.
First of all, you need to know a little bit in detail about the stock market, then about the shares and the mode of their trading. What are the risks involved and how to be smart in dealing with
shares?
Stock Market is the place where the
shares of listed companies are bought and sold. In India, you have BSE ( Bombay Stock Exchange ) and NSE (National Stock Exchange) as two big stock exchanges. Of the 23 stock exchanges in the India, Mumbai's (earlier known as Bombay), Bombay Stock
Exchange is the largest, with over 6,000 stocks listed. The BSE accounts for over two thirds of the total trading volume in the country. Established in 1875, the
exchange is also the oldest in Asia.
The National Stock Exchange (NSE), located in Bombay, is India's first debt market. It was set up in 1993 to encourage stock exchange reform through system modernization and competition. It opened
for tradingin mid-1994. It was recently accorded recognition as a stock exchange by the Department of Company Affairs. The instruments traded are, treasury bills, government security and bonds
issued by public sector companies.
Shares are bought and sold by you and me only through approved brokers. For buying and selling the shares first we need to open a Demat
account . There are various approved brokers mostly banks like ICICI , HDFC , IDBI , UTI to name a few.
A Demat account is nothing, but the account where the shares bought by you will be kept
separately.
For buying and selling, it is necessary to familiarize which shares to be bought at what prices and sell
them.We Should also have an understanding of some technical words like Bull Market and Bear Market.
BULL MARKET
A prolonged period in which investment prices rise faster than their historical average. Bull markets can happen as
a result of
an economic recovery, an economic boom, orinvestor psychology. The longest and most famous bullmarket is the one that began in the early 1990s in which the U.S. equity markets grew at their fastest pace ever. opposite
of bear market.at what price.
BEAR MARKET
A market condition in which the prices of securities are falling, and widespread pessimism causes the negative sentiment to be
self-sustaining. As investors anticipate losses in a bear market and selling continues, pessimism only grows.A
bear market should not be confused with a correction, which is a short-term trend that has a duration of less than two months. While corrections are often a great place for
a value investor to find an entry point, bear markets rarely provide great entry points, as timing the bottom is very difficult to do.

According to the Newly released report of transparency International , India is ranked as the 84th country in terms of public sector corruption leaving behind Pakistan , Afghanistan , Sri Lanka ,
Nepal and what to say about the other developed and the developing countries.
This news must have made the " Baboos" of the public offices feel proud that its because of them India is one of the 100 countries may it be corruption. It must be a festival time for them.
The biggest contributing factor still remains the poverty , low wages according to transparency International . But the real factor according to me is the politicians - who once elected for a
period of 5 years use that time for amassing wealth. The recent example being of former CM of Jharkhand - Madhu Koda. The Common man is also at fault because he thinks that our work should be done
with no hassel and even we are ready to pay anything in return. This has lead to mass corruption. It can be seen right from the grassroot levels. The suggestion given by the Transparency
International that Switzerland and Liechtenstein should lift the secrecy laws in banking should be given a serious thought by these countries. Its also a long pending demand back home and we hope
that once the details are out most of the blackmoney sources would come to limelight and it would help our country to fight with the monster of corruption in a better way.

Barrack Obama striking the headlines that Tibet is a part of China and it should play a
constructive role in Indo = pak relations makes everyone feel that something is fishy.This can be termed or seen as a new political diplomacy of United States of America - a trait in which its the
master.
Its not hidden from anybody that China is rising day by day economically as it has the highest GDP for the year 2009.
Earlier it was India which was a matter of concern for America so the Nuclear agreement was signed between the two nations and America went to every limit to help India gain acceptance from other
countries too and now its the turn of China. Its economy is going great which is a threat for U.S. as again we all know that America always wants to be at the top so it will not let any country to
overcome its monoply.
The latest statement being the role to be played by china in improving Indo - Pak relations. Barrack Obama knows that India till date has maintained that its against any third party intervention in
the issue but still he has gone far ahead in making such a statement. This news should be a concern for the indian Government and now all the eyes are at the Indian Govt. as to what stance it takes
on the recent development.
But all these things have made clear that when it comes to supremacy U.S. knows how to play its cards smartly.
