Here’s a challenge. Using the five clues below, identify the company that is being talked about here.
1 I have been in business for only a couple of decades, but have gained the trust of several global investors who now own almost half my equity.
2 More than 10,000 employees, operating out of 800-plus locations across 10 States, power my growth. But 80 per cent of my business still originates from three States in one region.
3 My revenues and profits have tripled over the last five years without diluting RoE, which has remained largely stable over the last three, five and 10 years.
4 I have disappointed shareholders, delivering negative returns since my IPO, a few years ago.
5 While women remain a meaningful part of my customer base, they make up barely 3 per cent of my workforce.
