Board of Committees: Just Dial Ltd

Subsidiaries:

  • Just Dial Inc., USA
  • JD International Pte. Ltd., Singapore
  • MYJD Private Limited
  • Except for Just Dial Inc., USA, both the other companies have not yet started their operations.

Competitors:

No direct domestic competition but they face competition from more established multi-national players, who are richer in terms of capital and other resources. They enjoy a first-mover advantage which translated into the largest user database in the country.

Shareholding pattern: Just Dial Ltd

Top Shareholdings:

  • Reliance Retail Ventures Ltd – 66.96%
  • Quant Mutual Fund – 1.88%
  • DSP Mutual Fund – 1.84%

Industry Overview:

The Indian e-commerce market is expected to grow to US$ 99 Billion by 2024 at a CAGR (2019-24) of 27%, with grocery and fashion/apparel likely to be the key drivers of incremental growth. With the rise in ‘Digital India’, disruptions due to COVID-19, and the growth of smartphone adoption, online sales are expected to grow to a great extent. The e-Tail (Retail sales facilitated through the internet) market is expected to register a CAGR of over 35% to reach ₹ 1.8 Trillion in 2020.

There is a huge growth potential for e-commerce in the Tier-II, III, IV, and V areas, due to greater access to the internet, higher smartphone penetration, as well as raising awareness and people’s aspirations. There lies a largely untapped market, as the internet continues to not be readily available in these areas. However, with greater reach and better infrastructure, more people can benefit from internet-based services. These factors will encourage established service providers on the internet and related technological offerings.
