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

1 I recently completed 30 years as a listed company, with public shareholding, excluding institutions, exceeding promoter shareholding.

2 My founder, who completed his master’s at Columbia, is a pioneer in my business. But litigation with his brother, who also actively aided my growth, diverted his attention.

3 My current MD graduated from Cornell and is already well recognised in the industry.

4 I am now the largest player nationally and one of the top five globally in my business, though my annual revenues crossed ₹1,000 crore only last year.

5 My valuation grew more than 20-fold within a few years from the Covid-lows, but I have delivered negative returns over the last three years.
