T*ata Group: Global rank -- 11*
The Tata Group has been named the world's eleventh most reputed company, according to a study compiled by United States-based Reputation Institute.
Not just that, the Tata Group, whose Global Pulse Score was put at 80.89, has been ranked above global giants like Google, Microsoft, General Electric, Toyota, Coca-Cola, Intel, Univler, et cetera.

The Global Pulse scores are on a scale of 0 to 100.
