ITC was incorporated in 1910 as Imperial Tobacco Company of India Limited. Over the decades, it has diversified into various businesses including packaging, hotels, paperboards, agriculture, IT, and fast moving consumer goods. ITC aims to be one of India's most valuable corporations through world class performance and creating growing value. Its vision is sustained through various strategic business units. A SWOT analysis identifies its diversified portfolio and market leadership in cigarettes as strengths, and high dependence on tobacco revenues as a weakness. Porter's five forces model finds threat of new entrants and substitute products to be low, but rivalry among competitors to be high. BCG matrix shows cigarettes, food, and IT businesses as cash cows, while hotels and agriculture
