DB Corp Reports Rs 442.7 Cr Revenue For Q3-FY13; Internet

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.

IMCL is the digital arm of DB Corp and manages the group’s website and mobile properties which includes group portals like Indiainfo.com, dainikbhaskar.com, divyabhaskar.com, dailybhaskar.com, divyamarathi.com, myfmindia.com and mobile properties like 54567 which allows users to send messages consisting of images, audio, text and video. For the year ended March 31, 2012 (FY12), the company had posted a total loss of Rs 6.55 crore, a significant  28.41% reduction from Rs 9.15 crore loss in FY11 and total revenues of Rs 6.99 crore, a 130.7%…
