Info Edge IPO pricing to keep investors at an edge
The company reported total income of Rs.84.06 cr. for FY06 against Rs.45.12 cr. for FY05. PAT during the same period touched Rs.13.29 cr. against Rs.30 lakh respectively. For the three months ended 30th June'06 income was Rs.29.3 cr. and PAT was Rs.5.22 cr.
The company's business is managed through four divisions, which comprise (1) online recruitment classified division operating through www.naukri.com, (2) online matrimonial classified division operating through www.jeevansathi.com, (3) online real estate classified division operating through www.99acres.com and (4) offline executive search division
operating through its Quadrangle division.
Now the company proposes to diversify into other segments of the online classifieds market such as automobile products, educational products and industrial products and expand its present business to the Middle East and South Asia and plans to set up its campus in the NCR, which appears extravagant as the company is neither a BPO nor a Software company nor is it into web publishing needing a large headcount.
