There is very little information from DB Corp on its Internet business, post its acquisition of external shareholding in its Internet subsidiary I Media Corp Ltd (IMCL). The financial results of the company do not include any information on its Internet segment revenues; last quarter, Bhaskar Group’s non-executive director Girish Agarwal had said during the company’s earnings call that the group has registered Rs 3.1 crore revenue from its Internet business, up from Rs 2 crore revenues in the same quarter last year.
