𝐀𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐈𝐧𝐜., 𝐚 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭👇 • 🏪 Consumer-facing businesses attract scale • 📉 These visible segments often run on thin margins • 💰 Real profitability comes from deeper revenue layers. 𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬: •Reliance’s retail builds reach, refining drives cash •TCS balances stable maintenance with high-margin consulting •HDFC Bank leverages low-cost deposits for lending spreads •Flipkart sells products, but monetises seller ads •Hero sells bikes, while financing boosts margins 📌 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: Revenue creates visibility, but margins create value. To understand a business better, look beyond top-line growth and ask where sustainable profits actually come from. 👉 For a deeper breakdown, refer to the attached link.
