Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) is India's largest fast moving consumer goods company with a heritage of over 80 years in India and touches the lives of two out of three Indians. Apart from HUL we have taken V2 Retail erstwhile known as Vishal Retail, Shoppers Stop, which is leading stores providing goods in fashion and cosmetics verticals and Pantaloons Fashion & Retail one of the biggest rival of Shoppers stop and V2 retail in the business. The objective of this research is to measure the financial and accounting performance of Indian leading IT companies for the period of 2009 to 2013.
