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

1 I got incorporated more than 30 years ago and opted for listing within the next 15 years.

2 I have so many subsidiaries in several countries with cumulative sales and profits as much as my standalone parent, no surprise my Managing Director doubles up as CFO as well.

3 While the promoter family continues to retain majority control, there has been substantial institutional interest thanks to the recent market glamour in my sector.

4 Sales and profits have grown over the last five financial years at single-digit, but the stock has gone up over 10 times since Covid-lows five years ago. In fact, the stock had declined more than 80 per cent over the three years prior to Covid-lows.

5 Of the 5,000+ employees and workers I got, just around 100 were women constituting around 2 per cent of the workforce.
