Early trends from India Inc’s second-quarter results so far suggest that the economy was getting back on its feet after the second jolt provided by the covid-19 pandemic. At HDFC Bank, for instance, both disbursements and recoveries were better. Again, at Avenue Supermarts standalone revenues were up nearly 50% year-on-year driven up by better footfalls post the second wave; the increases were better even when compared with the same period in 2020. IT companies have also reported strong numbers with increased hiring as demand for services surges.
