SUMMARY
  • RIL on Tuesday climbed eight spots to the 45th rank, the highest for an Indian company on Forbes' latest Global 2000 list of public companies worldwide
  • The Global 2000 ranks the largest companies in the world using four metrics: sales, profits, assets, and market value

Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) on Tuesday climbed eight spots to the 45th rank, the highest for an Indian company on Forbes' latest Global 2000 list of public companies worldwide. The Global 2000 ranks the largest companies in the world using four metrics: sales, profits, assets, and market value.

JPMorgan, America's biggest bank with USD 3.7 trillion in assets, is at the top of the list for the first time since 2011 and has emerged stronger from this spring's regional banking crisis, with more deposits and opportunistic acquisition of the failed First Republic Bank. Meanwhile, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway that topped the list last year, fell to the 338th position in the latest list due to unrealised losses in its investment portfolio.

Saudi oil behemoth Aramco is at second position followed by three giant-sized state-owned Chinese banks. Technology giants Alphabet, Microsoft and Apple are at seventh, ninth and tenth place, respectively.
