Chicago, Apr 29: ICICI became the first Indian company to enter the BrandZ Top 100 by grabbing the 45th rank among the 100 most valuable brands in the world for the year 2010.
In the fifth annual Millward Brown Optimor BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands 2010 list, ICICI, with a brand value of 14.5 billion dollars, has been hailed for introducing retail banking to India.
"ICICI is the bank that introduced retail banking to India and stands to profit from the country's continuing growth," it said.
