COVID-19 Impact & Response:

  • During the second wave of COVID-19 witnessed across the country during Apr-Jun 2021, the Company moved to Work-from-Home (WFH) for employees and is operating offices in line with respective State Government's directives. The Company has taken various measures to mitigate COVID-19 impact on its employees.
  • To optimize discretionary costs, Company had curtailed its advertising spends in FY21. Our advertising spends accelerated during 1Q FY22 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. We spent ~Rs50.5 Crores on advertising and promotion during 1Q FY22. Quarterly unique visitors on JD platform stood at 124.1 million during 1Q FY22, down 3.9% QoQ.

  • 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. However, the unpredictable second wave restrictions impacted Collections during 1Q FY22, which stood at Rs142.6 Crores, down 28.9% QoQ. Traffic and monetization should recover hereon with COVID second wave impact abating.
  • In long term, Justdial's JD and JD Mart platforms are likely to be key beneficiaries of rising internet adoption among SMEs to take their business online to get customers and to also run their business efficiently via use of technology.
