Cash from operations
The actual cash the core business brought in this year, after paying suppliers, staff and taxes. Profit is an accounting figure; this is money that really arrived.
Example
A company can report ₹100 cr profit but collect only ₹20 cr in cash if customers have not paid — the gap is what this number exposes.
Worth knowing
Over several years cash from operations should broadly track profit. A persistent gap is worth understanding before anything else.
