According to the Brand Finance Global 500 report for 2025, the richest brand in the world is Apple, valued at $574.5 billion, followed by Microsoft ($461.1 billion) and Google ($413 billion). Indian companies, including Reliance, Tata, Infosys, and LIC, have made significant progress but are not yet part of the global top 10. The report considers the brand value of companies based on their financial wealth, influence, emotional connection, and cultural impact.
Tata Group is India’s most valuable brand, valued at $31.6 billion, followed by Infosys ($16.3 billion), LIC ($14.4 billion), and Reliance ($9.8 billion). Indian companies have recorded impressive growth rates, with LIC being the fastest-growing Indian brand at 36% growth rate through digital transformation and post-IPO investor confidence. Reliance grew by 17% through its Jio, retail, and green energy initiatives.
The global top 10 brands are dominated by Western tech companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, as well as Asian giants like Samsung Group and State Grid Corporation of China. Indian companies are rapidly growing and trying to match the global scale. The report highlights the importance of brand value, which is not just based on financial wealth but also on the measure of influence, emotional connection, and cultural impact.
