Here’s a challenge. Using the five clues below, identify the company that is being talked about here.
1 I began operations in the 1960s as a division of a large enterprise and was later spun off as a separately-listed entity.
2 My CEO for over a decade, an IIT graduate, stepped down from his successful career to recently join a smaller firm less than one-tenth my size in the same industry.
3 While my market capitalisation has risen more than 10-fold since the Covid lows, it has fallen by nearly a third from the recent highs.
4 Unlike most small-caps that have seen a rise in retail ownership, I have witnessed a decline even as FIIs have doubled their stake.
5 My chairman, his son and cousin are the only three non-executive members representing the promoter family on the nine-member board.
