Ramcides: Growing Pains for a Family-Run Business in an Emerging Market Harvard Case Solution & Analysis

Ramcides is an agrochemical family-run business whose managing director, during the holi festival in 2012, was contemplating the route of the firm that his eldest brother had began in 1973. Ramcides had a target to reach US$50 million in sales by March 2014 and $130 million in the subsequent five years. The managing director reflected on whether the firm was on the right course towards achieving that aim.

There was also the issue of the venture capital firm's planned exit, and where the business would then procure additional funding. What needed to be done to ensure ongoing success? The current manager viewed himself as the managing director in transition -the bridge between Ramcides's history as a family-run firm and its future as a professionalized agrochemical company.
