Here is a list of worlds biggest companies in terms of revenues.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_by_revenue
Walmart leads the chart with more than 400 billion in revenues. Quite astonishing. Some more personal observations and trite remarks:
1. None of them have yet reached 1 trillion USD. Why not a single of them, is it too huge ? Considering that GDP of India is 1.5 trillion (USD), it looks a big number, isn't it.
2. Largest Indian company, IOCL is 139th in the list with 54 billion, and then Reliance at 180. Quite a lot of catching up to do for Indian companies to be somewhere in top 10. China is already there - with 2 companies in top 10.
3. How is Walmart at the top ? How can a retail company generate more revenues than oil and gas ? Difficult to imagine. But then the scale and geographies in which Walmart operates is bigger than any other company. Also it proves how much the Americans consume !
