Are MNC's superior to Indian Companies???

I don’t have any experience in working with any MNC or any Indian Company (Public Sector/Private Sector). But, in future, I may be working with any of them. When it comes to it, one question always strikes my mind, “Are MNC’s superior to Indian Companies?? Which of them is better???”

The globalization and the liberalization movement have encouraged the interest of foreign direct investments in any country. The reason behind the attractiveness of foreign country in India is just that India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and the same is the reason behind setting up their own manufacturing, industrial and distributing units in India.

Multinational firms have provided a wide opportunity for the employees in the country by providing them employments, which reduces the problem of unemployment. Moreover, it has introduced cross culture in the country. The workers are provided with good and fair salary, which leads to higher purchasing powers in the hands of public, which ultimately increases the standard of living. As the multinational companies are from developed country they afford using high technologies and machines, due to which they are able to produce goods at a good quality and can make the goods available at lowest possible price, which is easy to purchase by people of middle and lower middle class families. They not only use effective machines for production processes but also make the employees train properly under professionals and make them efficient and effective for their company, which leads to skillful employers or workers in them. It is much obvious that by making use of such highly skillful workers and advanced technologies they will produce goods of superior quality.

Till the end of 20th century, most of the people used to think that Indian cos can’t beat MNC’s. They can’t even compete with them. But that’s not the scene today. Indian Companies like Reliance Industries, Tatasons Ltd., Hindalco (Aditya Birla Group), Wipro, Infosys, RPG enterprises, SBI, ONGC, SAIL, BPCL, HPCL, CIL, etc. had entered in top Fortune 500 companies and in the list of one of the best workplace to work with. Not only Indian Public Sector privately owned companies, but also the Government undertaken units are competing well with MNC’s.


Where, on one side, MNC’s are spreading their branches across the world, providing an opportunity to grow by employing the workforce here, introducing cross culture, making the skilled manpower, effectively contributing to the economy. Apart from these providing high standards of living, good working culture, maintenance ethics in business forms the branches that support the growth of MNC’s with a straight motive of providing high quality products. Not only these, but developing the standards of society by paying back in the form of Corporate Social Responsibility. Companies like Kellogg’s and McDonald’s innovated Indian Flavors to capture the Indian market.

On the other side, Indian companies are very young in their establishment and are going through a fast pace of growth with innovative ideas, constant up gradation and challenging the MNC’s by providing the superior quality and services. Many Indian companies and brands have shown enormous fight back capacities: Godrej, Nirma, Dabur, ITC, Videocon, and others, apart from many new companies.

When I look into all these things, again an unending debate takes pace in my mind and  I end up with a dilemma.....
