Thanks for posting this video. Can you pls. tell – where to find the cash flow statement for particular company like Bajaj-auto? I could not find the table mentioned in your video on their website. Pls. give more info on that. Moreover, apart from those 3 rows like operating, investing and financing, I am seeing many other data on any company cash flow statement on ET.
