Commenting on the results, Ambarish Raghuvanshi, CFO and Director, Info Edge (India) Limited said, “Our core recruiting business continued to grow while the newer businesses grew faster (albeit of smaller bases) despite some possible signs of a re-adjustment in hiring plans of IT services clients (as a result of the rise in the rupee/ dollar exchange rate and the sub prime mortgage issues in the US). Our profits growth look extremely good but as we have stated in the past, the lumpiness of advertising spends will cause some volatility in our earnings. We expect advertising and promotions activity to increase in the subsequent six months, therefore it will be unwise to extrapolate profits for the year from these numbers.” Also it is important to watch trends in the underlying business client segments e.g. IT services.
