<keyword id="6355199" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="reliance-industries" source="Orion">Reliance Industries</keyword> - India's largest corporate by revenues, profits and market value - topped 2021 Wizikey News Score ranking as India's most visible corporate in the media. The recognition comes on the back of Exchange4Media Group's recognition recently to Reliance as one of India's Brands with Best In-house Communications Professionals 2021. Role of a vibrant and savvy Corporate Communications team is extremely important in ensuring media visibility for any company. Wizikey's News Score is world's first standardised metric to measure news visibility for brands and individuals using Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Machine Learning and media intelligence. The News Score takes into account various key criteria like volume of news, headlines presence, the reach of publications, readership and the like. The score ranges from 0 to 100, and is based on monitoring of over 5000 publications. It represents the media presence of a brand in publications that matter. For its No 1 position Reliance has a News Score of 84.9 for 2021, followed by State Bank of India, Bharti Airtel, Infosys, Tata Motors. Only a few global companies like Google and Facebook have a score above 90. Reliance's News Score excludes standalone headline mentions of 'Jio'. The inclusion should have meaningfully enhanced the score. Reliance made quite a few key announcements this year across its businesses, as well as philanthropic initiatives, which played a key role in its media visibility. Reliance was at the forefront of India's fight against Covid during the second wave in 2021. Most importantly, it transformed its manufacturing units to emerge India's single largest medical oxygen producer equivalent of 11 per cent of India's total production. Reliance supplied over 1000 MT per day liquid oxygen to support over one lakh hospitalized patients free of cost. Reliance also carried out the largest vaccine drive among India Inc to administer over 2.5 million vaccine doses to its employees, their families, as well as members of society. Reliance announced its road map to lead India's transition to Green Energy, including four Giga Factories at Jamnagar with over $10 billion of investment commitments Reliance announced five key collaborations - NexWafe, REC, Ambri, Sterling &amp; Wilson Solar and Stiesdal - for critical next generation technologies and implementation capabilities to drive its Green Energy foray. Reliance commissioned two gas fields in KG basin and successfully conducted auctions to sell its gas to domestic consumers. Reliance is now on its way to contribute 15 per cent of India's total natural gas requirement. Reliance Jio augmented its spectrum by 55 per cent in the auctions held in March 2021 and emerged the largest holder of sub-GHz and 2300 MHz bands. Reliance launched the most affordable smartphone 'Jio Phone Next' in collaboration with Google at an entry level cost of Rs 1,999. The phone runs on optimized version of Google's Android OS called 'Pragati OS'. In line with its vision to add technology-led solutions to serve customers better, Reliance group also made a few acquisitions during the year. They included JustDial, SkyTran, and Urban Ladder. Jio-bp launched their first fuel retailing outlet to start offering additivated fuels and a differentiated value proposition. Reliance has been a leading newsmaker among Indian corporates in the past as well.

Businesses have been at the receiving end – from those which shut shop to those that opened new doors to success. The top five businesses that generated the most news are Reliance Industries, Jet Airways, Amazon India, Tata Sons and Indigo Airlines, according to a report by the technology-led PR platform Wizikey. They stayed in the news for both good and bad reasons. Reliance Industries Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance recently created history in the stock market with its market cap crossing ₹10 lakh crore. It was the first Indian company to do so. But that wasn’t the only news that caught everyone’s attention. The stock and the company has been buzzing especially during the second half of the year. According to the Wizikey report, Reliance holds the credit for one-third of the total news created by the top 5 companies. The busiest news month for the company was in August, when it held its annual general meeting. At the AGM, Ambani made major announcements -- like fundraising apart from unveiling next-gen technology. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="70638299" title="Mukesh Ambani's speech at the Reliance Industries AGM had ten big takeaways" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>

 Jet Airways The Indian airlines shut shop in April this year and not surprisingly, that was the month it was mentioned the most. The report said that the most common buzzwords around Jet Airways were “flight cancellation, aircraft grounding, insolvency proceedings, debt resolution and management takeover”. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="69878191" title="It’s official-- Jet Airways is bankrupt, declares a Indian court on the same day the share price jumped 93%" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>

 IndiGo Accompanying Jet Airways in the newsmakers sector, was one of India’s largest airlines – IndiGo. Having gained from the collapse of Jet Airways, with more bookings coming its way, IndiGo too had its fair share of trouble. A feud between its founders Rahul Bhatia and Rakesh Gangwal over company’s control took an ugly turn. Both of them had landed in the courts in July 2019, after Gangawal’s sensational expose on the workings of the airline. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="71740625" title="Indigo debt has swollen by seven times in one year" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>

 Amazon India Amazon India has been generating both good and bad news this year. “Amazon saw itself being mentioned the most throughout the year - for all the wrong reasons,” said the Wizikey report. October was the month of most mentions, after the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade called in the e-commerce giant for its <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/ecommerce/news/headline-amazon-dismisses-deep-discounts-and-says-sellers-set-their-own-pricesamazon-dismisses-deep-discounts-and-says-sellers-set-their-own-prices/articleshow/72450155.cms">deep discounts</a> and possible foul play. But it was also the festive month, where Amazon’s great sales kept it in the news. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="70222978" title="Amazon India sets up ‘war rooms’ to handle Prime Day pressure" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>

 Tata Sons Tata Sons owe their “newsy” year to one person – Dr Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, when he was appointed the Minister for External Affairs. Jaishankar held the post of President, Global corporate affairs at Tata Sons, which is why his appointment in the ministry shared the spotlight on the company. But that’s not all. “Rumours around Jaguar being sold to BMW saw Tata mentioned in the news early in the year,” said the report. Tata’s interest in Jet Airways too got them a lot of space in the papers. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="71802900" title="Not just Tata Motors, a lot of other companies are excited by Jaguar Land Rover numbers" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>

From layoffs to income tax searches, there has been a barrage of bad news, as a result of which the brand has taken a hit. A former OYO employee reminisces the old times, “There was a time when just saying ‘OYO’ was enough to make a sale.” But today, it’s the very name is invoking fear and much more. Given its troubled image, which is why not many hotels are enthusiastic about signing up, another employee told Business Insider. Hoteliers are pinpointing issues like contractual errors, delayed payments and more. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/interesting-facts-about-oyo-founder-ritesh-agarwal/articleshow/70417612.cms">Ritesh Agarwal</a>, the 26-year old entrepreneur, who once dreamt to be the world’s largest hotel chain, today has new tasks at hand. He has to take a deep breath, analyse the tricks and trades of the game and move towards profitability. A ‘stretched’ brand value While doing so, Agarwal has to ensure OYO’s bright days shine through its many problems. “A brand image is not just top down but it’s also bottom up, as far as OYO is concerned it is battered. Fundamentally because a brand is only as good as the imagery as the brand enjoys in its consumers minds. OYO’s consumers have consistently used the brand, and have found discrepancies and therefore the early success that Ritesh got with established the brand all that has been frittered away today,” said Harish Bijoor, a brand consultant. Bijoor explains that when a brand tries to expand itself at a much faster pace than it must, it thins it out. It does not deepen brand value but instead stretches it. But OYO’s problems have been on the road since the second half of 2019. According to a report by PR tech platform Wizikey which analyses data around news, OYO was one of the top newsmakers of 2019, but for the wrong reasons. In the light of all of this, experts say that Agarwal’s first step should be addressing concerns and being upfront about it. “OYO should be far much more humble in its tonality while also being upfront about things. Ritesh’s letter was an amazing thing, but they should work on more such upfront things,” said Anshul Sushil, co-founder, Wizikey. ‘OYO’ as a keyword is at the peak of Google search in five years, according to Google Trends. However, unfortunately, it comes at a time when the $10 billion startup is facing a crisis. <div type="image" title="oyo trends" msid="73282584" hostid="261"></div> Sustainability, honesty and humility When a brand is in the news for the wrong reasons, they can do three things, explains Sushil, – remain quiet, go louder or just stay humble and clarify things. “Everybody will get more negative, here’s where OYO should continue their work done but also bring out candidness and humility. This will work for the brand, especially when it’s a global brand,” he said. In 2020, OYO is already in repair mode. In order to cut costs they have laid off employees and are moving away from mindless growth and turning their focus on sustainability. And here’s what OYO must do further. “OYO must shed its flab, shed its properties – in a greed to acquire more properties if it has left behind quality that must be corrected. The effort has started by whittling people away at the top and the middle ground, as it was getting too middle heavy. The problem is when someone is on a rollercoaster and going towards an IPO, one starts believing in the numbers game and acquiring more properties, that is completely wrong,” said Bijoor.

 Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s long lasting Budget speeches has put her on the spot as the woman who dominated most of the news in the business section. She generated the most media mentions after her first budget speech as the Finance Minister of India in July last year. Moreover, her much-awaited second budget in February this year also generated a huge amount of buzz. <keyword id="55796" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kiran-Mazumdar-Shaw">Kiran Mazumdar Shaw</keyword> <div type="image" title="Bengaluru: Biocon Chairperson and MD Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw addresses during a pres..." msid="74534021" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Biocon Chairperson and MD Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw addresses during a press conference to announce the upcoming event &amp;#39;Bengaluru Tech Summit 2019&amp;#39;, in Bengaluru.Photo) (&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div>

He will be wearing a green coloured jersey and try to survive in the wild amidst tigers at Jim Corbett National Park, for the show--Man Vs Wild. And, there are many expectations from his international television show debut. "Modi is a creative story teller who has taken an interesting move by featuring in Man vs Wild. He has reached millions of people but still has a far way to go. The show will bring a positive change in his image as a strong political leader of a democracy," Anshul Sushil, co-founder Wizikey told Business Insider India. Modi has already captured the nation a few months back when he won over 300 seat mandate in the national elections. But brand experts will believe that he will now be able to younger Indians, as he displays his adventurous side. "Millenials are going to connect to him through the show. The way brand Modi has evolved he wants to control the narrative. At the same time, he also wants to give other people the scope of visibility," said Sushil. And looks they are looking forward to the show. #PMModiOnDiscovery <a href="https://www.exchange4media.com/digital-news/with-12-billion-impressions-pmmodiondiscovery-takes-twitter-by-storm-98487.html">alone received a whopping 1.2 billion impressions</a>, said Discovery. (Link to Exchange). Over 206200 people mentioned the hashtag within 12 hours after the trailer launched. The hashtag also entered the top 3 global trends. However, Harish Bijoor, a brand expert believes that a brand cannot be built on a single impression. “It is built through many impressions from many mediums. The show may not have a greater impact on brand Modi,” said Bijoor who runs his own brand consultancy firm. Yet, Modi is known to experiment his image with interesting interviews. One of the most buzzing interviews he gave before the <keyword id="6355187" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="lok-sabha">Lok Sabha</keyword> elections was to Bollywood actor, Akshay Kumar. One of the many questions that Kumar asked in the eulogistic interview was, “What variety of Mangoes do you like?” During election, BJP <a href="https://in.reuters.com/article/india-election-modi/modi-tv-modi-app-modi-rallies-how-brand-modi-plays-in-election-idINKCN1RG0HD">introduced</a> a "NaMO" television channel and an app that, according to the party, had over 100 million downloads.

Indians are waiting to watch the human side of Modi, not just his wild side

<ul><li>The Indian Prime Minister used the spotlight on Discovery's popular reality show to improve 'brand Modi' too.</li><li>Brand expert Harish Bijur said that this was the PM's attempt to connect with a young audience.</li><li>The 68-year old Modi spent a few hours at the Jim Corbett Park in Uttarakhand to, according to the government, promote tourism and conservation but the show definitely had a lot more of Modi.</li></ul>Reality show star Bear Grylls had to spend 2 hours waiting for the Prime Minister. But Bear Grylls did not feel point it out as a matter of his punctuality, and rightfully so. But at every other high point in Narendra Modi's narrative, the host took a moment to eulogise the greatness of character displayed by his guest. Man vs Wild featuring the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Edward Michael Grylls (Bear Grylls) was on Monday (August 12) and was telecast across 180 countries, according to the Discovery channel. According to the government, the show was to promote tourism in India as well as environment protection. However, the Indian PM did not miss an opportunity to make a glorious point about his life. "My problem is I never experienced fear. I can't explain to people what it means to be nervous because my central temperament is to be positive," he said as the two waded through a national park famous for its tigers, elephants, crocodiles, and snakes. The show's host, Bear Grylls, who makes a living out of adventure, made it a point to mention how nervous he was at various points in the show. We learnt little about Jim Corbett Park and why people should visit it. He definitely made a few points about conservation. "The biggest problem is our lifestyle. We exploit nature for our enjoyment. That is the biggest problem," he said. "We should never fear nature. Because when we think that we are in conflict with nature, the problem begins there," he added. But those who watched the show would by now know that Modi came from a poor family in Wadnagar (in Gujarat), sold tea after school to support his father, didn't have enough money for detergent, but had the courage to bring home a baby crocodile, left home at the age of 17-18, spent some time in Himalayas that influenced his 'minimalist' lifestyle, and that this jaunt around the Jim Corbett Park recorded in February 2019 was his first vacation, if at all one, in 18 years. "Modi is a creative story teller who has taken an interesting move by featuring in Man vs Wild. He has reached millions of people but still has a far way to go. The show will bring a positive change in his image as a strong political leader of a democracy," Anshul Sushil, co-founder Wizikey told Business Insider India. Many of the facts of Modi's life as narrated by him have been known to many Indians. But this time people across 180 countries were watching and so many of us heard those stories once again. "Lord we thank you for this great man and this great country ," Grylls said at the end of the show as he handed over the Indian Prime Minister back to the 'Secret Service'. With this, Modi has joined the league of world leaders that featured on the popular wildlife show Man Vs Wild. Before this, US President Barack Obama took up the challenge in 2016. Bear Grylls, the host of the show, has been able to lure many celebrities to take part in the show, including Roger Federar and Julia Roberts. The following are other interesting quotes from the Prime Minister while he was on Man vs Wild: "This will be a big centre of attraction for people around the world." "I can't say I was a good student." "My life wasn't very great. Dirty clothes wee a norm, but I used to wear proper clothes to school. I used to try to keep it proper." "At the age of 17-18, I left my home. I was thinking what to do and not. Had to make a life decision but before that wanted to understand life." (He was speaking about why he landed up in the Himalayas early in his life) "I had some interest in spirituality and nature. I have met many humble saints and learnt to live with minimal needs." "I was the Chief Minister of a state for 13 years, which was a new jorney for me. Then, the country decided that I should be doing this and so I have been doing it for five years. I have focussed only on development." "If I consider this as a vacation, then it is my first vacation in 18 years." "I am beyond the position I hold. I only focus on my work, not my position." "I used to bathe in the pond, because we didn't have any other facility." "My uncle decided to sell wood as cooking fuel. But his mother decided that they would starve but not sell wood because wood has life." "My problem is I never experienced fear. I can't explain to people what it means to be nervous because my central temperament is to be positive." “For years, I have lived among nature, in the mountains and the forests. These years have a lasting impact on my life. So when I was asked about a special programme focusing on life beyond politics and that too in the midst of nature I was very excited to take part in it.” SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/news/indians-are-waiting-to-watch-the-human-side-of-modi-not-just-his-wild-side/articleshow/70647734.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">Indians are waiting to watch the human side of Modi, not just his wild side</a>
