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.)

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.

Also in the name of diversity, there is unabashed discrimination against men (especially white men) in tech, in both hiring policies and in other arenas. One such example is this, a developer workshop that specifically excluded men: https://t.co/N0SkH4hR35
