February 2019 Issue Highlights: Our cover story this month tells you how TCS, for long the jewel in the crown in the House of Tata, is reviving up its digital business to take the company to the next level. TCS apart, a key highlight in this issue is also Fortune India’s annual list of India’s most profitable public sector undertakings PSUs. The 2019 list of the 50 most profitable PSUs has some very interesting takeaways. The biggest one being the near absence of public sector banks in the list. While there were 17 banks in the 2015 list, contributing 21.24 to the aggregate gross profit, this year there are only three, who together contribute a measly 2.47 share to the total. This is evidence enough of the state of India’s public sector banks, something the government is also deeply concerned about. As our lists editor Rajiv Bhuva points out, on a sectoral basis, the banking sector’s gross profits fell 68.62 this year, while those of non-banking finance companies grew 10.46. That’s a story in itself.
