Godrej Consumer Products is a big company that makes things people use every day, like soap, shampoo, and insect repellent.
Every few months, companies tell everyone how much money they made, which is called a quarterly report.
This time, Godrej said it made more money than it did one year ago.
Its profit went up by about 11.5%, and the money it earned from selling products went up by 18%.
This means people bought more of their products than before.
The company sells many items in India under brands like Good Knight, Cinthol, and HIT.
Its business in Africa grew a lot, and its business in Indonesia started growing steadily again.
Prices of some ingredients the company needs went up, which made things a little harder.
