Here’s a challenge. Using the five clues below, identify the company that is being talked about here
1. I have done significant capital and business restructuring through mergers and demergers that ultimately resulted in undisputed leadership nationally in my business. I recently became a top 5 player globally.
2. Though I was a national leader, I was weak in the South and became a leader in the market by acquiring my competitor.
3. Many may not know I have Australian roots. One of my founder promoters was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange but had to exit from my ownership about a couple of decades back.
4. My initial founder, who continues to run the business, owns single-digit stake only. Mutual funds own more stakes than any other category of investors.
5. I am one of the few Indian stocks to deliver negative return over the last five years though I was a darling of the market, earlier.
