Profit-driven

Origin & History

Modern compound adjective formed from the noun 'profit' + past participle 'driven' (meaning 'motivated/impelled'), popular in business and social commentary from the late 20th century.

आधुनिक संयुक्त विशेषण: संज्ञा 'profit' (लाभ) + 'driven' (प्रेरित/द्वारा संचालित) से बना; 20वीं सदी के उत्तरार्ध में व्यापार और सामाजिक टिप्पणी में प्रचलित हुआ।

Definition

Focused mainly on earning money or maximizing financial returns, often prioritizing profit over other goals (such as public benefit, ethics, or long-term sustainability).

मुख्य रूप से लाभ कमाने या आर्थिक रिटर्न बढ़ाने पर केंद्रित; अक्सर अन्य लक्ष्यों (जैसे जन-हित, नैतिकता, या दीर्घकालिक टिकाऊपन) की तुलना में लाभ को प्राथमिकता देने वाला।
