    Company Appoints New CEO and CFO

    Apart from the earnings, the company announced a significant change in its top management.

    Founder, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer VSS Mani will step down from his executive responsibilities with effect from July 31, 2026. He has led the company for 33 years and played a key role in building Just Dial into one of India's largest local search platforms.

    The board has appointed Dinkar Ayilavarapu as CEO-designate with effect from July 10, 2026. He will formally take charge as Chief Executive Officer from August 1, 2026. Ayilavarapu joins the company with strong experience in strategy and business transformation. He most recently led Flipkart Wholesale, which serves more than one million customers across India. Earlier, he headed strategy at Flipkart and spent around 15 years at Bain & Company, where he worked on transformation, merger and turnaround programmes across global telecom and technology businesses.

    Just Dial Ltd Share Price Performance

    The rally has been one of the strongest among mid-cap technology stocks this week. The stock closed at ₹564.05 on Friday before the earnings announcement. By Tuesday morning, it had touched an intraday high of ₹776.90. This translates into a gain of nearly 37.7% in just two trading sessions.

    Despite the sharp rally, the longer-term performance remains weak. The stock is up only around 4.3% on a year-to-date basis. Over the last one year, it remains lower by more than 18%.
