It might be pertinent to note that Zomato has reportedly a valuation of USD 2 billion and is now being backed by Softbank which is a leading investor.  As Zomato raises further funds, InfoEdge will most probably dilute.  Its a source of "other income" for the company.

The company's naukri.com business continues to be on a strong footing, given its leadership position and stable growth momentum.  This is supported by strong growth in 99 acres and two unicorns ( Zomato and PolicyBazaar) is a growing market.

The strong portfolio represents a very strong case for creation of  further shareholder value - execution is the key.
