These insurers differ distinctly: New India and GIC Re are government-owned leaders in scale; ICICI Lombard thrives digitally; Go Digit is tech-savvy; Star Health and Niva Bupa specialize in health insurance. ICICI leads in profitability, Digit grows rapidly, Star dominates health, GIC Re controls reinsurance, and New India covers broad masses.
Polycab leads with superior market capitalization, robust profitability, and diversified portfolio (wires/cables and consumer products). Apar emphasizes industrial/export segments but faces margin pressures. Finolex focuses on conservative, profitable growth in residential cables, maintaining stability with operational efficiency and zero debt but lower diversification versus Polycab.
India’s packaged and processed food sector is a battleground of diverse business models and consumer strategies. Tasty Bite and ADF Foods lead in exports and ready-to-eat meals, while Bikaji and Prataap focus on traditional Indian snacks. LT Foods dominates in basmati exports. Zydus Wellness stands apart with its wellness-focused product portfolio.
