1Very few companies in India would have had as many managements control changes since my listing, about 40 years ago . I’ve been around in the very same business for more than a century.
2The main character in the famous movie ‘Barbarians at the Gate’ used to be my controlling shareholder, but lost control later.
3Now, I am the leader of my industry, not just in India but in several countries I operate.
4I’ve had 30 per cent annum growth in my earnings over the last 10 years and equally impressive shareholder returns.
