Is ISRO in a position to compete with the space organizations of other countries? Where does it rank?

ISRO is one of the biggest contender in space race despite limitations on funding and resources.

Many milestones achieved by ISRO like Mars Orbiter Mission, Chandrayaan, 104 satellite launched in orbit on a single rocket put them in the forefront of space race.

ISRO might have very less funding in comparison to other major space agency like NASA,JAXA,ROSCOSMOS, ESA, CNSA, CSA but determination of space scientists and there hardwork put ISRO in above elite space groups.

There is no ranking system but if I would like to give ISRO a rank and on which most of the people will believe is:

1.NASA

2 ROSCOSMOS

3.CNSA

4.ESA

5.JAXA and ISRO

6.CSA
