When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. This maxim seems to apply to India Inc, which seems to have eked out surprisingly good earnings numbers in the July-September 2020 results season.

An analysis of 3,827 listed companies that have reported their numbers (excluding banks and financials) shows a strong sequential improvement in the top-line (up 37 per cent) and net profits (up 470 per cent), thanks to companies slowly resuming operations post the lockdown.

Net profit saw an improvement of 31 per cent year-on-year.
