ITC Group started in 1910 as the Imperial Tobacco Company of India Limited, and back then, they mainly sold tobacco stuff like cigarettes, cigars, and pipe tobacco. But as time passed, they changed and became one of India&#8217;s most successful FMCG companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1975, ITC started working in hotels by opening their first one, the Chola Sheraton, in Chennai. ITC Hotels runs fancy and well-acknowledged lavish hotels in important Indian cities under various brands, such as ITC Hotels, Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Fortune Hotels, and WelcomHeritage. These brands cater to different segments of customers, ranging from luxury to budget, and offer different experiences, such as heritage, wellness, and adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The history of ITC Company is pretty interesting and covers a lot of ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the 1980s, ITC got into making paper and packaging and set up a factory in Bhadrachalam, Andhra Pradesh. At the same time, they also started working in agri-business, which means they sell things like rice, wheat, and spices to other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the 1990s, ITC Group went through a big change when their now ex-chairman, J. N. Sapru, retired. Yogesh Chander Deveshwar took over as the new chairman in 1996 and turned ITC into ITC Group, a big mix of different businesses, with a focus on doing things in a way that keeps the environment healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the early 2000s, ITC started selling stuff in the FMCG sector. They launched their main brand, &#8220;Classmate,&#8221; with things like notebooks and pens. They also began selling food under the name &#8220;Kitchens of India,&#8221; which included ready-to-eat meals, spices, and even condiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-itc-history-timeline\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ITC_History_Timeline\"><\/span>ITC History Timeline<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1910:<\/strong> The Imperial Tobacco Company of India Ltd. was set up, and ITC began as a Private Limited Company on August 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1953:<\/strong> The company acquired Tobacco Manufacturers (India) Ltd.\u2019s production division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1954:<\/strong> On October 27, the company became a Public Limited Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1970:<\/strong> In May, the name changed from Imperial Tobacco Co. of India Ltd. to India Tobacco Co.
