Guess the company #4 - Of ships, Pakistan, and Chemicals!

Hello,

We are back with yet another guess the company! I guess the one last time was too easy? Let’s see if you can guess this one!

Hint :point_down:

This is one of the oldest running businesses in India with its incorporation going back late 1800s. It is the flagship company of the parent company which is into multiple business. The company has exported products to 20+ countries including geographies such as the USA, Europe, and Japan. It has a market share of 12% and has consistently given dividends. Few years back, the 3 promoters were barred from participating in the capital markets. The brand is also an infamous city in India.

One of the other products from the parent company is bought by 2 million Indians each day!

The business owners lineage has an interesting connection to Pakistan, Britishers and Persia.

The business owners lineage has an interesting connection to Pakistan, Britishers and Persia.

Prominent members from Wadia group are Parsis (Persians). Connection to Britishers is through Lovji Nusserwanjee Wadia who procurred contracts with the British East India Company to build ships and docks in Bombay. Finally connection to Pakistan is via Dina Jinnah the only daughter of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who was founder of Pakistan and she’s the mother of Nusli Wadia.
