Here’s a challenge. Using the five clues below, identify the company that is being talked about here
1. Just after Independence, a few professionals founded my operations with a generic name but I am better recognised by an abbreviation only.
2. I get valued at more than 50 times earnings in spite of my single-digit earnings growth for a decade. This could be because I am a global leader in more than a dozen niche product segments.
3. My current chairman is a first-generation entrepreneur from a farming family background who actually began his career as a Chartered Accountant. He is a proud billionaire now.
4. He was part of a consortium that acquired the company 50 years back led by a Bollywood family. Had the hero held on to his stake, he would have made more than ₹10,000 crore profit.
5. Though most of my growth over the last several decades came organically, I have done 2 major acquisitions in the last couple of years. Hopefully, that could help me leapfrog the growth curve
