Brand Equity Survey: Check out India's Top 10 Most Trusted Brands
Brand Equity released the Most Trusted Brands Survey 2010. As trust becomes a key differentiator in the market exploding with brands, this definitive listing is a must for marketers, advertising firms, and, of course, consumers.
In its tenth year, the study has thrown up a lot of surprises: look out for new entrants, the entrenched, and ones who have stood the test of time.
Here are the top 10 most trusted brands of the year 2010:
Nokia emerged as India's Most Trusted Brand for the third year in a row, topping a field of 300 product and service brands. “Receiving the award was a humbling and exhilarating moment,” D Shivakumar, MD, Nokia India, said.
If Nokia manages to hold on to its position as India's Most Trusted Brand in 2011, it will have equalled a feat previously accomplished by just one brand: Colgate, winning India's Most Trusted Brand title four years in a row.
Of course, it takes a lot more than the softer aspects for a brand like Nokia to win the trust sweepstakes consistently. A key building block to this is Nokia's extensive service network. Nokia claims that 70% of consumers who approach customer care are served within an hour, with 90% of phone issues handled within 24 hours. Even before environment friendliness became a really hot-button issue in India, Nokia developed a widely publicised recycling programme, run through its retail and collection points.
The waters of course have been particularly choppy for Nokia itself over the last year or so. It has lost market share in India as well as overseas. Besides the increase in the sheer number of competitors, many of the new brands are perceived to be more innovative, an attribute that Nokia previously dominated. The Finnish mobile phone major has been slow to react on growing categories within the lower end of the mobile handset segment like dual SIM phones and at the high end with touchscreen devices

Stock and Market Views
Sizzling Stocks
State Bank of Mysore (Rs 1,167.8)
The stock zoomed, hitting its 20 per cent upper circuit last Monday as well as on Tuesday. Thereafter, it recorded a 52-week high of Rs 1,450, and started to decline, but finished the week with 26 per cent gains.
The stock, which had been on a sideways consolidation from May 2009 in the broad range between Rs 575 and Rs 750, broke out in August 2010. However, after encountering resistance around Rs 1,450, the stock declined retracing 38.2 per cent fibonacci retracement of its prior up move and is testing support around Rs 1,500.
A fall below Rs 1,100 in the ensuing weeks will drag the stock further down to Rs 1,000 or Rs 920. On the other hand, a reversal from the current support level will result in the stock moving sideways in the zone between Rs 1,150 and Rs 1,327. Strong move above Rs 1,327 once more will take the stock higher to Rs 1,450 or Rs 1,500 in the medium-term.
Surya Pharmaceutical (Rs 293)
The stock's bullish momentum prolonged and shot up by 28 per cent during the week. Since March 2009 low of Rs 47, the stock has been on a long-term uptrend, steadily forming rising peaks and troughs. Medium-term trend is also up for the stock. On August 16, the stock conclusively penetrated its key resistance of Rs 200 and subsequently began to accelerate. Marking an all-time high of Rs 314 recently, the stock is in a minor correction as the daily and weekly relative strength indices are hovering in the overbought territory.
Inability to move above Rs 310 can accelerate the ongoing correction to its immediate support of Rs 265 or Rs 250. The intermediate-term outlook remains positive as long as the stock trades above Rs 180. — Yoganand D.

*********************************
FDC soars as Rar(e)ing Bull accumulates stock
Shares of FDC, one of the oldest pharmaceutical companies in India ended firm in a weak market on talk that some astute names on Dalal Street have bought the stock. The stock closed at Rs 91.20, up 7% over the previous trading session, supported by nine times the average trading volumes.
The buzz is that the Rar(e)ing Bull has been accumulating the stock over the past few trading sessions. There are speculations that ‘Reward’ brokerage is also backing the stock. Analysts said at nine times FY11 estimated earnings, the stock is one of the most attractively valued in the pharma sector.
Bharat Petroleum flares up on MF bets
Domestic mutual funds have been accumulating shares of Bharat Petroleum (BPCL) of late. According to analysts, investors are betting on changes in government policies and deregulation of oil prices that may trigger another rally in these shares.
BPCL could also benefit from its gas reserves in Africa, analysts said. ‘Kala Paththar Mutual Fund’ is speculated to be buying BPCL shares on every decline. The stock ended 0.8% lower at Rs 753 on Wednesday.
Bankers eye Shipping Corp’s FPO account
The parade to select bankers to manage Shipping Corporation of India’s (SCI) follow-on public offer (FPO) will be held in New Delhi on Thursday. Buzz on the deal street is that unlike Power Grid which saw almost all the big banks put in their bid to manage the issue, some of the big league table players may just give this one a miss.
The SCI board had early this month given the nod for an FPO and the offer, expected to fetch about Rs 1,300 crore, is likely to comprise a 10% stake sale by the government and a 10% fresh equity offer by the company.
Post offer, the government holding in the company will drop to 64% from the current 80.12%. On Wednesday, the SCI scrip closed 0.58% lower at Rs 161.95 on the BSE. The company needs around $1 billion per annum for the next two-three years to fund its acquisition plans.
