1. It’s been precisely 40 years since I gained my current identity — which is an abbreviation of the name I was founded with about 100 years ago.
2. I have more than a million retail outlets and about thousand wholesalers but just 2 manufacturing locations in one State due to legacy issues.
3. I have a six-member board with five non-executive members who collectively get remunerated more than the MD & CEO
4. I am unique in that my single largest shareholder is a passive investor though I am controlled by an MNC.
5. Though I had more than 30 per cent ROE last decade, I distributed most of my profits due to lack of reinvestment opportunities. Hence I had single-digit growth in valuation during the same period.
