Making a mark : 3 Indian companies in the top 15 of Forbes list of most Innovative

It is heartening to see the 3 names in the top 15. One of them a public sector to the boot !!!

           Hindustan Unilever @ # 6
           BHEL @ # 9
   and  Infosys @ # 15

While I do know that many of us may not agree with either the list or the methodology. It is indeed a significant event to see these companies in the spots that they've got

Is this a precursor of things to come ? Hopefully so....
