A Mega-Thread on a 111-year-old conglomerate and one the most debated stocks of the Indian stock markets #ITC (Earlier known as Imperial Tobacco of India) @ITCCorpCom
(Would appreciate a retweet as it helps educate more investors and inspires us to work harder on such threads.)
2) A year later in 1911, it began sourcing leaf tobacco from South Indian Farmers to mass-produce consumer cigarettes, a landscape it would dominate for over a century!
The constant need for promotions ultimately led to the relocation of the company from Calcutta to Delhi.
5) ITC was the first Indian company to prioritize consumer research, laying the ground for its legendary R&D center that is now half a century old.
9) This would later pave roads for them to become the third-largest hotel chain in India, with over 100+ hotels.
12) ITC also invested rapidly in developing the ITC Gardenia, ITC Grand Central, ITC Sonar, and ITC Maratha.
14) After recognizing the possibilities of heavy taxation on tobacco, ITC further ventured into other sectors like foods, textiles, and dairy.
17) They also established an information technology division, ITC Infotech Limited, and merged ITC Bhadrachalam Paperboards into ITC Limited.
20)ITC's Sunfeast ready-to-eat Pasta initially faced backlash due to rival brand Nestle's instant noodles Maggie.
23) However, ITC Food is contributing more revenue than its hotels off late.
24) ITC's Ashirwad atta is the number 1 flour brand with a 40% market share.
26) ITC initially set up one of its largest tobacco production units in the Munger district of Bihar way back in 1910.
Would appreciate a retweet as that inspires us to educate more investors and put effort into compiling more such threads for you.

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.
In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.
In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.
This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.
In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
The story doesn\u2019t say you were told not to... it says you did so without approval and they tried to obfuscate what you found. Is that true?
