Businesses are geo-specific. No matter where they operate, they remain very much grounded to their homeland and make a significant contribution to the country’s economic growth.
The companies we have selected are based are GMI CORPORATE INDEX(GCI). Some of the factors included in this are the companies visibility online & offline, the number of employees, perception of employees about their group, perception of outsiders not connected with the group and a few other factors. Financial turnover is not necessarily known to be a factor of consideration. Being the first year of the GCI ranking, we expect to see these rankings reviewed periodically.
