Afaqs: Just Dial the directory that provides telephone numbers on restaurants, hospitals, colleges, shopping malls, plumbing services and many others has spread its wings in US.
Just Dial’s US operations will be handled out of India, where the company employs about 4,000 people. “We soon plan to hire up to 1,000 people in the US, mostly in under-employed, rural areas,” says 42 year-old Venkatachalam Sthanu Subra Mani.
Just Dial will soon also be expanding to Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Hong Kong to fulfil Mani’s target of being present in all major English-speaking countries in the next two years.
In India, Just Dial receives over 240,000 calls everyday and hosts over 200,000 visitors to its website. It caters to over 2 million users across 240 cities in the country. Its revenue model involves a nominal fee to those who list but is free to consumers.
You simply need to dial the number and let the operator know what you are looking for. You then receive text and email alert about the details.
