Revenue growth has slowed for 3 consecutive years, from 39.9% to -3.5%.
Revenue compounded at 18.3% a year over 4 years (₹27,711 → ₹54,241).
Over 4 years profit compounded at 27.5% a year while revenue compounded at 18.3% a year — though FY2023 saw a one-off step-change of 118% (a merger, restructuring or a recovery off a low base), so the compounding is uneven.

How has the stock performed?
Context
Over 4 years the stock returned 37.7% a year while profit compounded at 27.5% a year — but FY2022 profit (₹4,912) was well below the through-cycle level (~₹12,750), so this rate is inflated by the recovery from a low base.
