Infosys takes the second spot with a brand value of $14.2 billion, followed by HDFC Group in third place at $10.4 billion, significantly benefiting from its merger with HDFC Ltd.
Savio D’Souza, Senior Director at Brand Finance, credits Tata’s rise to its strategic organisational refinement and adoption of advanced technology. The brand’s visibility has further strengthened through its sponsorship of the Indian Premier League, aeronautical rebranding, and the expansion of its retail divisions, including Westside and Tata Consumer Products.
