1 I am a pioneer of my business not just in India but whole of Asia. There were just 9 players globally and I became the 10th, more than a century back.
2 The building I am operating from is named after my longest-serving chairman, one of the tallest when it was built. Recently got a trademark for the building, not a common practice in India.
3 When my Industry got disrupted by technology and regulations, almost all of my peer group had to close down, I managed to survive. Though I lost my leadership, I am still a meaningful player in my industry.
4 My earnings haven’t grown over the last 10 years and shareholders were disappointed with negative returns for several years since listing. The recent run-up of 6 times since Covid lows has helped me deliver 15 per cent return pa since IPO.
5 One of the subsidiaries I was forced to dilute due to regulatory requirements has gone up 5 times since listing with a higher market capitalisation, 50 per cent more than mine.
Last week’s winner: Sudhakar Gaonkar
Last week’s answer: PI Industries
