Infosys tecnologies was voted the most admired company according to a survey conducted by The Economic Times. Infosys beat heavyweights such as Hindustan Lever, Reliance Industries, Larsen & Tubro and Ranbaxy by a huge margin. The companies were rated on the basis of five most important attributes that drive admiration in the top performers: maintaining healthy profitability, enhancing shareholder value, responsiveness to customer needs, delivering products and services of high quality and the ability to thrive in a competitive environment. Infosys was the clear winner after being rated first in all these categories. HLL is at number 2 and Wipro at number 3.

Runner up HLL is number 2 in the areas of profitability, shareholder value and in its ability to thrive in a competitive environment. RIL is ranked third in terms of profitability, Satyam gets the same rank for enhancing shareholder value and Pepsi for its ability to thrive despite competition. Surprisingly, Wipro doesn't figure in the top three on any of the five attributes.
