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

1 I have just completed 40 years as a listed company.

2 My technocrat founder built such a strong brand that the conglomerate acquirer chose to retain it even decades after the acquisition.

3 Though I have a long history and industry leadership, I am yet to cross the ₹100-crore annual profit milestone.

4 I have grown profits at more than a 25 per cent CAGR over the previous three/five/10 years without diluting my 25 per cent+ RoCE.

5 My founder’s philanthropic contribution to the local community was well recognised and he was awarded the Padma Shri.
