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

1 I am just entering my Silver Jubilee year. I began my journey as a subsidiary of a national leader in another business and was listed separately 10 years ago following a spin-off.

2 I had three founders, though only two continue to remain promoters, as one exited by selling his stake to a potential competitor.

3 My CMD, who is also my largest shareholder, continues to purchase my shares from the market. He was awarded the Padma Shri for his unique contribution to education in underdeveloped areas.

4 My market capitalisation crossed the ₹10,000-crore mark only last year. While I have just a 1 per cent share of the national market, I am a leader in the region where I operate.

5 Though my sales and profit growth, as well as shareholder returns, have remained below 12 per cent annually since listing, I am hopeful of a faster growth, driven by the aggressive expansion currently underway.
