Just Dial elevates Raman as CTO; Q3 earnings decline

Just Dial Ltd, the online local business search engine firm that is morphing into an e-commerce marketplace, has recorded a 16 per cent drop in net profit for the third quarter ended December 31, 2015 on account of slowing revenue growth and higher expenses.

The Mumbai-based company’s net profit declined to Rs 26.9 crore from Rs 32.14 crore a year earlier.

Revenue grew 11 per cent to Rs 171.33 crore from Rs 154.42 crore. Costs increased 28.6 per cent to Rs 142 crore from Rs 110.4 crore.
