brands made in India I could name companies making for them.
Small companies.... don't recon them as brands.....

You're making a pointless (in my view) distinction between a company and a brand . All companies have branding , and therefore , a brand....whether it be big or small. But whatevs .
Btw , if a company / brand has sponsored players in international or first class cricket ( like all the english ones mentioned ) , then i think they fit your definition of a brand !
Why do I feel like I'm on espncricinfo all of a sudden ?

What do CX have to do with CA?

Lovely bats btw. It's a shame that I'm sceptical of near flawless CA bats though, ever since the fake grain sheets made by CX surfaced and they started counterfeiting bats.

Don't worry I was skeptical too as the grains on the face were so straight but I did verify and register my CA Code with Zahid Javed the owner of CA, so all good

most sureproof way to check for a grain sheet :
a ) take off toe guard ( this may be enough sometimes , but sometimes a grain sheet is also applied to the toe )
b ) sand toe a bit.... it will remove a grain sheet if its there . then look at the ewal geains running through the toe.

Of course but this is confirmed genuine so there is no need for me to do so :p

How did you get that CA? It looks like a L&W Signature!!!

All top CA bats look more or less the same. Lots of straight even grains with very minor blemishes if any. Heck even the shape on all is the same. I've seen 30+ in shops over the last year.

Any way to check.... a drop of linseed Oil or water.
Drop it on the bat, if it does not soak..... you have your answer.
