COVID-19 Impact & Response:
-
Owing to second wave of COVID-19 being witnessed across the country, which is more virulent than the first wave witnessed in 2020, the Company has moved to Work-from-Home (WFH) for employees in line with respective State Government’s directives. The Company has taken various measures to prioritize safety and well-being of its employees, and is closely monitoring the impact of the second wave.
-
To optimize discretionary costs, Company had curtailed its advertising spends (both digital & nondigital) from Apr-20. During FY21, we spent Rs 6.8 Crores on advertising versus ~Rs 66 Crores spent in FY20. In FY21, bulk of traffic came organically (without advertising). For 4Q FY21 and FY21, we had 129.1 million (declined 7.1% YoY) and average 123.1 million (declined 19.7% YoY) quarterly unique visitors, respectively. Our advertising spends resumed/ accelerated from Mar-Apr 2021 in order to promote our newly launched B2B platform, JD Mart. Our IPL 2021 campaign has resulted in great branding and awareness about JD Mart among businesses
-
With lockdown easing and impact of COVID-19 abating post the first wave, monetization had been on an improving trajectory. 4Q FY21 monetization stood at ~85% of pre-COVID levels. Due to reasonably healthy year-end Collections, deferred revenue stood at Rs 330.3 Crores as on 31 Mar 2021, down 1.7% YoY, up 8.2% QoQ.

- With acceleration of COVID-19 resulting in lockdowns/ restrictions across the country in the last 4-6 weeks, with obvious impact on SME businesses, Company is closely monitoring the impact of the same.
