Strength
Profit grew 148.4% while revenue grew 22.7%, so the company kept more of each rupee of revenue as profit.

Profit has swung sharply over 7 years (from ₹94 to ₹984) — one year is a weak guide to the earnings power.
Over 7 years profit compounded at 37.9% a year while revenue compounded at 16.8% a year — though FY2021 saw a one-off step-change of 285% (a merger, restructuring or a recovery off a low base), so the compounding is uneven.
Revenue compounded at 16.8% a year over 7 years (₹2,292 → ₹6,813) — though FY2021 saw a one-off step-change of 70% (a merger, restructuring or a recovery off a low base), so the compounding is uneven.
Net profit rose 148.4% to ₹890 — but FY2025 was a depressed ₹358 (vs a ~₹524 historical norm), so this is a recovery. Profit has compounded 37.9% a year over 7 years.
Revenue grew 22.7% year on year (FY2025 → FY2026).

ROE rose from 8.2% to 17.7% — but FY2025 was a depressed year, so this is a rebound rather than a step-up.
