'The Best of the Lot'
Your annual listing of India's Most Valuable Companies
(BT500, November 13) was comprehensive and very well put together. I am
glad that instead of ranking PSUs and private companies separately, you
decided to offer just one listing.
The Best of the Lot
Your annual listing of India's Most Valuable Companies (BT500, November 13) was comprehensive and very well put together. I am glad that instead of ranking PSUs and private companies separately, you decided to offer just one listing. The Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries's juggernaut continues to roll, with the giant retaining its numero uno spot, a remarkable feat, indeed. The fact that the real estate sector witnessed the maximum damage in terms of both rankings and market capitalisation was hardly surprising. All in all, the package made for an interesting read.

The New Poster Boy of Start-ups (November 13) was an absorbing account of one man's entrepreneurial feat. Kudos to InMobi's Naveen Tewari, and co-founders Amit K. Gupta, Abhay Singhal and Mohit Saxena, for taking on global giants such as Google and Yahoo! on the mobile advertising platform. No wonder SoftBank, the Japanese media and telecom company, decided to invest $200 million in InMobi, which is the largest single investment in any Indian digital company to date.

In Jobs's Honour
The best tribute that we can pay Steve Jobs is to live our lives the way he lived his - with hunger, courage and tenacity (Steve, the Man We Wanted to Be, October 30). Your headline is very apt. What more can one say about a man about whom so much has already been written. His vision, creative genius, fearlessness, and unparalleled ability to combine design and business model innovation were second to none. The way he fought his long battle with pancreatic cancer and his final few days were pretty inspiring to say the least.

Corrections
Power Grid Corporation was inadvertently excluded from the power sector rankings in BT500 (November 13 ). It should be ranked No. 2 in the sector.
In the People item Red Hot Steel Man (October 16, page 134), a company name was misspelt. It should have read 'Magppie International'. We regret the errors.
