    "Being from the Philippines where our parents migrated after partition, it was always a dream for our family to be be able to start a business in the country of our origin. And this dream became a reality in 1994 when we formed Page Industries,"said Sunder Genomal, managing director of Page Industries. "It was 23 years ago that I stood on this very stage to launch the Jockey brand. It feels like a fairytale. We are sure the best for Page industries is yet to come. We proudly accept the award on behalf of each of our 20,000 team members. "

    The company has shown a compounded growth of 30% in its sales as well as net profit and also maintained strong financial discipline, never exceeding a debt-to-equity of 0.5, or compromising on profit margins (steady between 20% and 22%) or disappointing investors by missing a dividend. The return on capital too has gradually risen from 36% in FY08 to 63% in FY18.
