Here’s a challenge. Using the five clues below, identify the company that is being talked about here.
1 My journey began in the 1960s, when my founder, a professional turned entrepreneur, started his practice with an advance from his first client.
2 My founder’s father was highly respected in the same field and authored a book with a foreword from the Prime Minister of India. My founder’s wife, who actively helped him grow the business, is an accomplished innovator and has had several firsts in India.
3 Though I have a short history as a listed company, one of my subsidiaries in the same business did an IPO more than 30 years ago.
4 I am the largest in my business despite being a small-cap stock. I have a 25 per cent national market share in one of the fast-growing business segments.
5 Though I have more than 50,000 shareholders, the top 100 shareholders own more than 95 per cent of the equity. About two-third of my ownership is held by institutional investors.
