MUMBAI — Info Edge (India) Ltd, the parent company behind job portal Naukri.com and matrimonial platform Jeevansathi, reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 566 crore for the January-March quarter, marking a 22 percent year-on-year growth driven by resilient demand across its recruitment vertical.
The company's consolidated revenue stood at Rs 869 crore during the fourth quarter, representing a 16 percent increase compared to the corresponding period last year. The stronger-than-expected performance comes amid renewed hiring activity across sectors following a subdued phase in the first half of the fiscal year.
The results signal recovery in India's white-collar job market, with companies resuming expansion plans after months of cautious hiring. Info Edge's performance is viewed as a barometer for employment trends, particularly in technology, banking, and professional services sectors that constitute the bulk of Naukri.com's clientele.
The robust profitability also underscores the company's ability to monetise its dominant position in online recruitment despite intensifying competition from newer players. Analysts expect the momentum to sustain as India's GDP growth continues to spur corporate hiring, benefiting platforms that connect employers with skilled professionals across metros and tier-II cities alike.
