evidence: After he first announced the new vision, Deveshwar delegated the next part of the growth plan to his successors. The man behind ITC's insatiable growth stepped aside early this year after 25 years at the helm; and his next in command Sanjiv Puri has taken up the mantle of running the business and gunning for the growth targets. The scale and size of the target is huge. FMCG revenues have to increase by 14 per cent every year for the next 13 years if this division has to hit the coveted Rs 1 lakh crore mark. Will the company be able to scale up to a size never seen before in the FMCG business? [...] Recently, a PIL was filed against the government and the state insurer, LIC, which holds substantial stake in ITC arguing that insurance companies and the government should not hold stake in companies that promote tobacco consumption. For now, though, the government via Suuti continues to hold the stake, and given that the government has set an ambitious target of disinvestment of Rs 72,500 crore in the recent Budget, the Suuti stake could be quite handy.
