Here’s a challenge. Using the five clues below, identify the company that is being talked about here.
1. My founder began his life as a government servant and joined an MNC as a representative before becoming a pioneer in a business that was niche then.
2. My founder family is still united over three generations in spite of building more than $5 billion wealth across several businesses.
3. I have grown through several successful acquisitions over the years. Hence, my recent attempt of an acquisition of a business larger than mine was not punished by the market.
4. I have delivered more than 25 per cent per annum return to shareholders over the last decade. But I have grossly underperformed over the last 3 years with almost single-digit annual shareholder return.
5. One of my group companies has done even better, delivering more than 25 per cent per annum shareholder returns over the past 3/5/10 years, benefiting from the industry tailwind.
