Here’s a challenge. Using the five clues below, identify the company that is being talked about here.
1 My brand and corporate name is an abbreviation of my original business, which I began with, and I continue to remain a leader in this business till date.
2 I have completed a 50-year journey and currently derive 80 per cent of my revenues from businesses I diversified into in the early 1990s.
3 During a stressful period about 25 years ago, when I became a sick entity, I tried to exit my consumer business but fortunately didn’t.
4 My annual net profits crossed ₹100 crore for the first time only last financial year, but I was valued at more than a billion-dollar market capitalisation briefly during the same year.
5 I have only one member from the promoter family on the dozen-strong board, in spite of 75 per cent ownership. Institutional ownership is negligible.
