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

1 I was founded a few days after India’s Independence by a freedom fighter and was named after a town that even now has fewer than 1,000 households.

2 Like my previous chairman, my current chairman is highly qualified and has credentials from MIT. He named his two daughters after Sanskrit words meaning trust and dedication, values for which his family is widely respected.

3 I own about 100 brands, and nearly half of my revenue comes from several countries, supported by subsidiaries across four major continents.

4 I was one of the few 100-bagger stories of the last decade, but I have delivered disappointing returns in recent years.

5 Despite the sharp rise in investor participation in the Indian small-cap segment, my shareholder base has remained broadly unchanged over the last five years.
