On January 20, Indian equity markets retreated sharply as the Nifty 50 shed 1.38%, setting the stage for a day governed not by broad sentiment but by the granular truths of corporate earnings.

The season posed an enduring question that markets must periodically confront: whether growth in scale is the same as growth in health.
