◆Altys · Money, Explained

The hare doubles.
The tortoise adds a whole hare.

Two racers, made-up numbers, one real lesson.

The hare
A small company

Grows 100% this year!
₹100 cr
Added ₹0 crore
The tortoise
A giant company
Sales: ₹1,00,000 crore
Grows just 10%
₹1,00,000 cr
Added ₹0 crore
The tortoise added 100 hares.
₹100 cr 1 hare ₹10,000 cr 100 hares

Percentages flatter the small.
Rupees respect the big.

The takeaway

Growth has two languages.
Percent and rupees.

Neither one alone tells you which company is doing better.

Illustrative arithmetic. Educational only, not investment advice.
