Here’s a challenge. Using the five clues below, identify the company that is being talked about here.

1 I will soon celebrate my golden jubilee year and have had few name changes including one recently.

2 My founder has great credentials with graduation from IIT, Masters in MIT and doctorate from Columbia. My board has founder, his daughter, son-in-law and grand-daughter.

3 I am still a small-cap company despite global leadership in a business segment.

4 In the past decade, my stock price declined 80 per cent in the first five years. It went up about 40 times over the next five years. So, in effect, a 10-bagger in a decade.

5 The number of shareholders have moved from less than 50,000 to about three lakh over the last five years, though no mutual fund owns any material holding.
