An invaluable tool
The BT 500 (BT cover, November 14) is a valuable compendium of the most successful Indian companies in the private and public sectors. Your study packs a lot of analytical information and insights to help evaluate the performance of companies in various sectors. It also amplifies our scope to infer and understand business models and strategies of India's top-listed firms and serves as a ready reckoner of India's most valuable companies.

Losing its steam?
Stocks of Ambani brothers' promoted companies, that for too long were the unquestionable darlings of the market, have become the biggest sloths in recent times. One would probably sympathise with Mukesh Ambani, whose RIL stocks have reportedly seen orchestrated downgrading by some leading domestic and international brokerage houses based on the realisation that the KG Basin may not be able to pump out as much oil and gas as was originally expected. In the case of Anil, you have rightly mentioned that his resources are probably stretched too thin for investors to be thrilled about it.

A guide for managers
The BT 500 study is a fact base for investors, researchers, portfolio managers and corporate decision makers to interpret the fundamentals of top companies.

Bee in the bonnet
Honey Money (BT, October 31) was a visual treat. The photographs and accompanying narrative described the various processes in beekeeping in interesting detail and held out lessons that apiculture can be profitable if married to sound business fundamentals.

Configuring the UID (BT, October 31), erroneously mentioned the UID as being issued as a card. The Unique Identification Authority of India will not issue any card, but will write to every person who is allotted a unique identification number. This letter will have a tear-away portion with the number printed on it, for reference.
