Few companies saw only the success horizon also. While some companies were announcing their future successors, some were waving good-bye to their long term founders from an era of succession. Some became the meat of harsh criticism for bankruptcy and some for their 10 fold rise in revenues. On the whole the Indian business industry was in good shape in 2011. Here is the list of companies which made news in 2011: 1. Infosys:
