So goes the hindi proverb...everyone is naked in this bathroom (iss hamaam mein sab nange hain). ALL Indian corporates are responsible for the corruption in this country, and the 2G spectrum case proves that Tatas too are no saints. They just try hard, very hard to show they're saints. I've decided to shun ALL Indian companies as far as possible and let the MNCs have my money. At least the money will benifit someone in USA or UK, rather than landing up in the Swiss bank account of a Tata or Ambani or Mittal et al

and to change the channel when I see Barkha Dutt on TV. And do the same when any media person talks about corruption in the country. Thanks to the Radia tapes, the media is one of the most corrupt in this country.
Reliance has to prove the innocence of the Brand in 2G and their PR Nadia issue. I believe they are the main reason for corruption in India. They hijacked the power in state of India (The Government, Supreme Court CJ, Etc.) I personally stop using any of the reliance products now. (I got disconnected my reliance Land phone soon after this 2G Spectrum issue). As a common man I really do not know if they market anything without the name of Reliance. If I know that I will avoid that also.
I request all of you let us avoid the Big Reliance brand products as long as they are corrupted and anti Indian. Let us show them the power of common man in India.
All foreign brands will lack 'CORPORATE ALTRUISM" i.e. they spend nothing for Indian Society from where they get buiseness & money. They are here just to make money. So my fellow Indians, please choose Indian Brands over Foreign brands. Only Indian brands will help our country's true developement.

Indians are more corrupt.They are stashing away money in swiss banks.Forget about Indian companies.They dont care about customer complaints too.Indian companies are simply thurd rate with imitation products,no R%D, profiteering and tax evasion
(Every village kid in INDIA also gets treated with a 5 Rupees Cadbury's bar or atleast a 1 Rupee Cadbury's eclair now and then from his parents). The brand reaches more than billion Indians who are not very rich . It reaches more Indians than say some costly car or electronic item.
AMUL
Almost each and every village of India would sell this butter I guess. If not other dairy products which might not reach common man, surely when we say BUTTER in INDIA the first thing that comes to mind is AMUL. Ask even a roadside dhaba fellow, he will say, shall I put AMUL BUTTER on top ?
JOHNSON & JOHNSON - The oldest baby products company in India and probably the only baby product company in India which almost 90% of baby product consumers in India know or whose brand name and logo one can recognize immediately.
NESTLE CERELAC - Again baby food for so many Indian Babies. SO is FAREX.
ANACIN & CROCIN - Common man of India uses this often for his headache & fever due to poor quality hygiene, pollution and living conditions etc.
PEPSI and COKE. Cricket is such a mad game in our country and its our religion. These 2 drinks capture the very essence of it. The biggest cricket Gods and icons in our India are enough to sell this.
PARLE G biscuit - the biscuits which every Indian would have grown up eating so many times. Atleast once in a lifetime ? PARLE G missed. The most affordable high quality biscuit.

This list is more reasonable than the above. Now tell me how many people have heard of Haeir ? This article is a promo for companies by rediff. ha ha ha
This may be a nokia sponsored exercise. Today nokia sales has come down from 85% to 35%. It is fast losing its ground. Its smart phone policy has failed. All its marketing efforts have failed to stop the decline.How can it be a no-1 brand? Next few months..you will see Nokia shouting about this survey in its ads
