Mumbai: Mukesh Ambani, the chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries Ltd, has secured the top spot among all Indians and second globally in the Brand Guardianship Index 2024, compiled by Brand Finance.
He has ranked ahead of global corporate leaders such as Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai of Google, Apple’s Tim Cook and Tesla’s Elon Musk, as well as fellow Indians such as Tata Sons chairman N. Chandrasekaran (ranked at No.5, up from No.8 in the 2023 ranking) and Anish Shah (ranked at No.6) of Mahindra Group, among many others.
The survey placed Ambani just below Huateng Ma of China-based Tencent, who clinched the top spot with a BGI score of 81.6.
In comparison to the 2023 rankings where Ambani secured the second position globally, this year witnessed his ascent to the pinnacle of the Brand Guardianship Index 2024, particularly in the ‘Diversified’ conglomerates category.
Brand Finance constructs a balanced scorecard of measures designed to identify the factors that best capture the ability of CEOs to act as a steward of their company’s brand and steward long-term value. This year’s analysis reveals that ESG has become the single most important driving force in determining CEO reputation.
