Formerly Imperial Tobacco Company of India Limited (ITC).
ITC is one of India's biggest and best-known private sector companies. In fact it is one of the World's most high profile consumer operations. Its businesses and brands are focused almost entirely on the Indian markets, and despite being most well-known for its tobacco brands such as Gold Flake, the business is now diversifying into new FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) brands in a number of market sectors - including cigarettes, hotels, paper, agriculture, packaged foods and confectionary, branded apparel, personal care, greetings cards, Information Technology, safety matches, incense sticks and stationery. Examples of its successful new FMCG products include:
Aashirvaad - India's most popular atta brand with over 50% market share. It is also present in spices and instant mixes.
Mint-o - Mint-0 Fresh is the largest cough lozenge brand in India.
Bingo! - a new introduction of finger snacks.
Kitchens of India - pre-prepared foods designed by ITC's master chefs.
Sunfeast - is ITC's biscuit brand (and the sub-brand is also used on some pasta products).
Strengths
ITC leveraged it traditional businesses to develop new brands for new segments.

ITC master chefs from its hotel chain are often asked to develop new food concepts for its FMCG business.
ITC is a diversified company trading in a number of business sectors including cigarettes, hotels, paper, agriculture, packaged foods and confectionary, branded apparel, personal care, greetings cards, Information Technology, safety matches, incense sticks and stationery.
Weaknesses
The company's original business was traded in tobacco. ITC stands for Imperial Tobacco Company of India Limited. It is interesting that a business that is now so involved in branding
