Fortune India Magazine - July 2017

In this issue

Bulk of this issue is dedicated to The Next 500, companies declaring revenue of Rs 670 crore to Rs 1,708 crore. Fortune India spoke to a bunch of CEOs of the Next 500 companies, as well as with technology service providers and related companies, and put together a compelling account of how technology is helping smaller companies compete as equals with the behemoths of the Fortune India 500. This issue also talks, that how after a fall of 31.5% in profit last year, the next 500 companies have bounded back. Moving away from the Next 500, there is an interesting piece on an oldie but goodie, BPL. It’s not just about how an almost dead brand was revived, says Das. It’s also about the new asset-light model the company is following. Elsewhere, there’s a fascinating account of how American leather goods maker Coach is making a comeback under its new CEO. The iconic Coach handbags have, in effect, been dragged back from near obscurity.
