Indian maker of electrical wires and communication cables (house wiring, LAN/telecom cables), part of the Finolex Group.

Moat: narrow (brand, distribution). Long-established Finolex brand and dealer network, but Polycab and Havells have larger scale and marketing reach.
Headquarters: Pune, India · Founded: 1958 · Employees: 1,609
