Reasons for selection |
I love the products of Apple. I have used its iPhone and iPad and I really like them. They are doing well and will continue to do in future as technology improves and penetration of hand-held devices increases across the globe. |
I have bought some products online using the platform of this company. My experience was good. Amazon has toppled Microsoft to become the largest company in terms of market capitalization, recently. I am quite sure this company will do quite well as internet penetration improves across the globe. |
I have heard a lot about the management consulting, technology and outsourcing platforms of Accenture. They have growth platforms quite relevant to the industry. Their advisory services to the client are excellent. The company is nearly debt free and has strong financials. |
