We all love drinking fancy imported drinks and using toys made abroad, but we never really give our local Indian companies the attention they deserve, despite them being around for decades, consistently delivering quality products. To that end, it might help to know just how well some of our most well known but mostly ignored companies are doing.

Check out just how much some of these seminal Indian brands are worth!
