Here’s a challenge. Using the five clues below, identify the company that is being talked about here.
1 I got listed only in the last decade but began my business even before India achieved its independence. My products were endorsed by freedom fighters too.
2 While I am a top-3 player in my industry and hold half the market share in export markets for my products, I am still a small-cap stock.
3 Despite the negative returns I delivered to shareholders over the last five years, the number of shareholders has doubled.
4 I have had three managing directors over the last five years, but my billionaire-chairman has been around for several decades.
5 My industry has had the same leaders for several decades, except for 10 per cent market share acquired by a start-up from the last decade, founded by two alumni of IIT Bombay.
