Here’s a challenge. Using the five clues below, identify the company that is being talked about here.
1. It’s been precisely 10 years since I was incorporated. I have had a great decade by becoming a leader in my industry and I got listed a few years back.
2. Unlike recent IPOs, I had a blockbuster listing at more than double the offer price and tripled within six months. It’s another story that I am currently trading near my all-time low.
3. Though my corporate name is a generic industry name, my stock exchange listing identity is by the brand I am known for. My parent company’s website name is similar to that of a central bank.
4. My brand is well-known in more than 100 countries through outlets in 20,000 locations, none of which I own.
5. My Chairman is from IIT/IIM, on the board of governors of IIM-A, teaches at several business schools around the world and has run more than 30 international brands for MNCs.
