Nandan Nilekani, Indian entrepreneur and co-founder of Infosys, took to Twitter to thank Forbes for naming Infosys the third best company in the world. The list of best-regarded companies is usually based on social conduct, company’s trustworthiness, honesty, fairness and the performance of its products and services. Infosys has ranked number three on the Forbes list of 'The World's Best Regarded Companies' for 2019. As many as 17 other Indian companies like TCS and HDFC have been named. To further gather accurate data, Statista surveyed 15,000 respondents from over 50 countries.
