Not natural: The parent company is a subsidiary of its smaller branch.
Better: The smaller company is a subsidiary of its parent company.

A subsidiary is a separate company controlled by another company; it is not simply a department or office.
Subsidiary अलग कंपनी होती है जिसे दूसरी कंपनी नियंत्रित करती है; यह केवल उसका विभाग या कार्यालय नहीं होता।
