Infosys: India’s most admired company
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.

Kamlesh Singh receives Haldi Ghati Award from MMCF
India Today Group editor honoured for three decades of journalism at Udaipur ceremony.
MUMBAI- Kamlesh Singh just turned a lifetime of sharp words into a shiny shield because when journalism wakes up a society, even the Maharana of Mewar wants to pin a medal on it.
The Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) conferred its prestigious Haldi Ghati Award on Kamlesh Singh, a senior editor at the India Today Group, during a ceremony in Udaipur on 15 March 2026. The national award, instituted in 1981-82, recognises “work of permanent value that initiates an awakening in society through the medium of journalism.”
Singh, who leads several editorial initiatives including Aaj Tak Radio, the Teen Taal community and The Lallantop, was presented the honour by Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, Managing Trustee of MMCF. The citation highlighted his three decades of contributions to Indian media, innovations in digital journalism, mentoring young reporters, and his popular podcast persona “Tau” on Teen Taal, which fosters thoughtful public discourse.
The Haldi Ghati Award, named after the historic Battle of Haldighati symbolising valour and resilience, is one of four national awards given annually by MMCF. Past recipients include Tavleen Singh, Piyush Pandey and Raj Chengappa.
Other honourees this year included Padma Vibhushan Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Vedamurti Devvrat Rekhe, Treeman of India Marimuthu Yoganathan, Vir Chakra Capt Rizwan Malik, and US-based researcher Molly Emma Aitken, who received the Colonel James Tod Award for contributions to understanding Mewar’s spirit and values.
In an era where headlines often shout louder than substance, the MMCF quietly reminded everyone that real journalism isn’t about noise, it’s about the quiet, persistent work that stirs society awake, one thoughtful story at a time.
