1 Though majority of my earnings come from the business I am a leader in, I am also into making sugar, generating power, retailing Audi and Harley Davidson bikes.
2 I had a humble beginning about 40 years back when my founder started with support from his two brothers and 4 employees. Today I am one of the largest in my business and serve more than 50 global brands.
3 I got listed about 15 years back. I continued to trade below IPO price for more than 5 years, then delivered 30 times return in 8 years, and more than 40 per cent CAGR over the last 10 years.
4 Though my valuation has gone up several times, my founder family continues to retain maximum ownership permitted for a listed company without any dilution.
5 I've been pursuing a one of its kind initiative “up-skilling employees to secure placements at other reputed firms”. My founder strongly believes that this exercise would not only uplift employees’ families but society as a whole. Enjoying more than ₹10,000-cr market cap, I feel proud about my IAS academy that trains several candidates from average family backgrounds, and about half of them have succeeded in civil services examinations.
