Reliance Industries Tops Powerful Ranking; Report Reveals Digital, ESG, and Consumer Trust as Key Drivers of Brand Dominance


The World Centre for Research and Consulting (WCRC) today released its landmark study, India’s Most Powerful 50 Brands 2024, a data-driven analysis of brand strength, consumer preference, and market influence. Reliance Industries emerged as India’s most powerful brand, scoring a perfect 100 on the WCRC Brand Power Index (BPI), followed by TCS (98) and Tata Motors (96) in a ranking that highlights the convergence of digital transformation, sustainability, and consumer trust in shaping India’s economic future.

Reliance Industries Tops Powerful Ranking; Report Reveals Digital, ESG, and Consumer Trust as Key Drivers of Brand DominanceKEY FINDINGSOFFICIAL STATEMENTREPORT HIGHLIGHTSEXPERT PERSPECTIVESABOUT WCRC

KEY FINDINGS

  1. Digital Dominance: IT and Banking sectors claimed 22% of the ranking, with HDFC Bank (94), Infosys (90), and Zomato (82) leading disruption.
  2. ESG as a Differentiator: Brands like Tata Consumer (89) and Adani Ports (80) gained traction through sustainability-led strategies.
  3. Trust Symmetry: Unprecedented 100% correlation between Brand Recall and Consumer Preference scores—a global first.
  4. Regional Powerhouses: Bengaluru and Mumbai-based brands accounted for 65% of the top 20, leveraging tech and financial ecosystems.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT

Abhimanyu Ghosh, CEO and Editor, WCRC, commented:

*”India’s Most Powerful 50 Brands 2024 isn’t just a ranking—it’s a strategic blueprint for the future. Reliance’s perfect score reflects a new era where brands don’t just compete; they architect ecosystems. The findings prove that in a $4 trillion economy, power accrues to those who master digital integration, consumer psychographics, and ESG imperatives simultaneously. This is a wake-up call for legacy players: transform or become irrelevant.”*


REPORT HIGHLIGHTS

  • Sectoral Breakdown: Banking (12%), IT (10%), and Automotive (10%) dominate.
  • Rating Tiers: A1 brands (e.g., Reliance, TCS) average 94.2 BPI, while B1 disruptors (e.g., Zomato, Jio Financial) close the gap.
  • Risk Alert: 65% of lower-ranked brands lack AI governance, exposing $4.7B in cyber-risk.

EXPERT PERSPECTIVES

  • WCRC Behavioral Science Team
    “Indian consumers now equate brand awareness with trust—a phenomenon we term ‘embedded loyalty.’ This reshapes everything from marketing to M&A.”
  • WCRC Technology Risk Team:
    *”Non-digital brands in the ranking face 30% higher volatility. AI adoption is no longer optional.”*

ABOUT WCRC

The World Centre for Research and Consulting (WCRC) is a global think tank specializing in strategic intelligence, economic foresight, and brand analytics. With hubs in Mumbai, London, and Singapore, WCRC empowers governments and companies with data-driven decision frameworks.
