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

1 My founder graduated from IIT and spent 20 years working with industry leaders before partnering with his wife to become an entrepreneur.

2 While my journey began 40 years ago, I got listed only in the last decade to offer an exit to a brave private equity investor who invested in me during the height of the global financial crisis.

3 While my stock price declined below the offer price only during Covid times, I have grown 10 times since then.

4 My sales growth over the last 10 years, at a 15 per cent CAGR, without diluting my return on equity of 15 per cent, enabled me to deliver a 15 per cent CAGR return to shareholders during the period.

5 I must be the only company in my industry to have an annual net profit of above ₹500 crore with fewer than 200 permanent employees, and still deserve an almost billion-dollar market capitalisation.
