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

1 I am pioneer of a business for almost a century, but have become a marginal player in my industry now, except being a leader in one sub-segment.

2 I am yet to cross ₹1,000-crore annual sales despite carrying a powerful brand both in my products and corporate name.

3 I haven’t delivered any shareholder returns over the last 10 years.

4 During the recent market correction, my share price fell 40 per cent below the price I bought back shares last year.

5 Unlike most small-caps that have seen higher retail ownership, my total number of shareholders have declined over the last couple of years.
