1I have a flag of my own and carry my founders’ initials proudly
2
Present generation of investors may find it hard to believe that I used to be a part of Sensex. I am a small-cap stock today.

My stock price is currently lower than what it was 15 years ago though I have been profitable and paid dividend each of these years. I have begun buybacks as markets are pricing my stock substantially lower than book value.
4Unlike a small-cap Indian company’s board of directors, I have an illustrious one. Men and women with credentials, including the ex-chairman of McKinsey India, ex-member of SEBI, ex-economic advisors and those with central bank experience are adoring my board.
5 In our country where hostile takeovers are few and far between, a couple of branches of my founder family got embroiled in two separate hostile attempts.
