Indian companies that have made it big abroad
 |
While foreign companies face a lot of obstacles in setting up a business in India, the protest against the entry of retail giants is a recent example, Indians are not only buying companies overseas, but are also becoming major players around the world.
For instance, Tata UK is now Britain's biggest manufacturer, with almost 40,000 workers - just ahead of British Aerospace.
Add in Tata's service industries, such as consultancy, and the payroll reaches 45,000.
