What Are The Names Of The Top 20 MNC Companies Operating In India And Their CEO's Names?

The answer to this question changes regularly meaning an exact answer is difficult, however the top 20 tends to include the names listed below (the order being subject to change due to factors such as recession, time of year, introduction of new product etc). These also differ depending on how you measure 'top' companies; for example, the one with the highest revenue may not be the most with the most employees or the one which trades in the most countries etc.

A CEO (or Chief Executive Officer) is the most senior member of a company (although typically they are not the owner and so will still have to answer to someone). The CEO of a company will report to the board of directors and will oversee most of the major decisions.
