Foreign MNCs carry a solid parentage, have unique technological expertise, have asset-light business functions and, of course, a positive brand image. They have had a significant impact on the Indian market as they are very well capitalised, offer consistent dividends and have significantly less exposure to debts.
MNCs have made a mark for themselves in the Indian landscape by introducing cutting-edge technology. Having a wide moat and a robust balance sheet allows them to withstand many challenges – even a negative turnaround in one country for such a stock would not affect an aggregate level. They have contributed to the overall economic boost and allowed more disposable income in the commoner’s hands by way of enhanced employment experience.
