ITC Welcomgroup, India’s premier chain of luxury
hotels was launched on October 18, 1975, with the
opening of its first hotel - Chola Sheraton in Chennai.
A more broad-based entry has been made since June 2002 with brand
launches in the Confectionery Staples and Snack Foods segments.
ITC had a humble beginning and in the initial days it used to operate
from a leased office on Radha Bazar Lane, Kolkata.
On its 16th birthday on August 24, 1926, ITC purchased the plot of land
situated at 37, Chowringhee, (now renamed J.L. Nehru Road) Kolkata.
Two years later company's headquarter building, 'Virginia House' came
on that plot. Progressively the ownership of the company Indianised, and
the name of the Company was changed to I.T.C. Limited in 1974.
