PP,
I am not sure from where you got $100mn of GMV from SearchPlus for Q4. In the Q4 transcript this is what JustDial highlighted where they talked about $100mn in revenues for the entire year, which is entirely from Search business except 0.5% from other sources. If I consider entire income from other sources is from SearchPlus and assume 10% of referral fee (Amazon has a range of 5-15%), JustDial would have GMV of $47mn for the entire year.
Analyst - Sure, fair enough. Looking forward to hear probably feedback on the next call. Sir my second
question is in terms of revenues you mentioned on the call over 99.5% is from our Search
business just trying to understand sir on our Search Plus platform we have the JD guarantee
deals you had mentioned we can book cinema tickets, airline tickets, hotel, why we are not
receiving revenues from them or is the uptick extremely slow?
V. S. S. MANI:: Not that, we are doing close to 100 million in revenue when you do a $100 million revenue to
get to that even if I make couple of million dollars in these transaction commissions we will
still not be anywhere. But the thing is, the good thing about transactions once it takes off it is
just going to geometrically multiply off so that is the key, so what you focus right now is not
actually trying to make as much commission as possible but have as many people sell their
products to us and that is what is our goal right now. And as you know that we have not even
yet gone and advertise or publicize our services, there are lot of people who may even be
aware of this are still waiting for us to do an official launch before they start using it.
In Q3 management claimed that Just Dial has been getting good traction in reverse auction. In 3QFY15, the management quoted 4,000-6,000 queries happening with a 56-60% conversion. For E-Commerce companies playing in niche in India has ticket size of Rs700 to Rs2000. Based on these numbers, Just Dial might be selling things worth Rs1.7mn to 7.2mn per day, after launching reverse auction in September 2012. If I assume high end of ticket size then also JustDial would have $40mn of GMV for the entire year. For some perspective, Amazon India did Rs60bn (about $950mn) of GMV in 2014, within 16 months of launch.
