Who is the "Best Brand' as far as growth & innovation is concerned?

When we are talking about growth and innovation, I cannot think of any other name besides the TATA's. They are into IT, Automobiles, Telecommunications & Internet, Steel and a number of other sectors as well. 

I believe that TATA's can be considered the BEST BRAND.

This company has the higher risk taking ability & the ability to implement big plans. Relians has grown exponentially in a very short period of time & has a market cap of $3 trillion.

Thus, this company has a tremendous potential to go head and achieve more in future.

we are talking about brand so nothing compares with sony. having a class of product and the pull sony has created no brand can do that. hope all will agree on the topic as its a sony.

Of course by all measures it is TATA the oldes business house in India in all major fields yet uncontrovercial, clear in policies, business ethics, public good, non-greedy dealings and further more not the least an honest business house most reliable over the global market.............. No Doubt It Is TaTa to all TATA to all and tAtA to all any other way it is only       T  A  T  A

Steve Jobs the real innovator of the most verstile and sophosticated products.

He also kept the brand on high priority, as he obsolute the product line but does`nt sells them cheap.

Apple is the Best Brand - IMAC, MAC BOOK, Etc.

with expansion of times group from just a news paper provider it has been giving e-paper, e-data, directory , parallel electronic funtionaries,and has been growing in other sectors as well. it is a power ful brand and solid dependable image factor.

it has a proactive media and has survived many storms.

I too feel that TATA ,undoubtedly, is one of the best brands available in india today but there is one more brand, IDEA, which has come a long way ( Read Idea's walk and talk , save tree campaigns )and has been successful in positioning itself differently from other telecommunication companies.So for me, IDEA takes the pie for being innovative in its approach towards brand building.

How do we edit the comment on Toostep ?

To me this brand epitomises all that you have said. Innovative, original, fresh and inventive. Very few brands can come close to this.

The company has been in existence for a long time. They are constantly re-inventing themselves and trying to innovate and go forward. Best Brand is a relative term depending on time. Thus, currently one of the better brands is Glaxo SmithKline in the pharmaceutical sector....

since it start just 15 years ago now it has capable of given and rulling the service sector in India from power generation,telecom,insurance,media, entertainment etc.

just imagine another 20 years and where this group could be.

Its Darwins theory of evolution in action...." it is not the strongest who survives, but one who is able to change FASTER than the CHANGING ENVIRONMENT that not only determines the growth but its VERY EXISTENCE. So change or perish........anyone has a counter argument to this Idea.....waiting for some challenge

Every brand that is existing in the corporate world is in itself a result of the immense struggle put up by the promotors of that brand.They are there because they have evolved themselves througj the changes with time. So in my view its all and its none...

as far best brand is concerned times of india is much preferable. we can see newspaper in everyone house whether he is poor or rich. moreover news give a 360 degree outlook of what is happening within our country as well as outside countries. also we get ourselves updated to sports, politics, hot news,entertainment, stock market, buisness,stock exchange,job vacancies and a lot more......

Apple is currently the Best brand when it comes to innovation and growth.

They are the trend setter . I mean how much populars were mp3 and music players were before ipod launched . Similary with iphone and  ipad they have created a revolution in multitouch and touch screens phones.

Indian prestigious brads Like Tata and Reliance are great when it comes to contribute to the growth of the country but when it comes to innovation we seriously lack  behind our peers in other part of the world

There is no second or third thought in my mind that TATA is the oldest & global business house which is the best brand & symbol of growth & innovation to any biz house. TATA by the name itself is an icon on a global platform. We are talking about a brand then let me ask my dear members to kindly pay some attention towards the list given by Sheetal for voting. Out of five given companies Sony is a Japan based, Times of India & Reliance is an Indian based, but still TATA rules the chart with the tag of oldest, globally accepted & Customer faithful group.Reliance may have grown out of the proportion but still TATA is a ready reckoner for all companies/groups grown in the recent decades.

I will always thought of TATA being a group with a brand value which is globally accepted as far as growth & innovation is concerned.

Any communication technology which helps quicker is more reiable than those which stops you by denying the access on flimsy ground. I find "AirTel" very refreshing.
