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

1 I am a small-cap stock despite being a top-5 player nationally and in the top-25 list globally in my industry.

2 Though I have been around for longer than seven decades, my profits before tax crossed the ₹1,000-crore mark for the first time only last financial year.

3 My five times return to shareholders over the last five years has enabled my largest shareholder, which is also a listed company, to deliver more than eight times to its shareholders.

4 Contrary to the rest of the market, FII’s ownership has doubled, whereas retail stake has reduced over the last three years.

5 My promoter family had been among the top 5 nationally in the 1970s, but split thereafter to become a marginal player in recent years.
