It is primarily driven by initiatives focussed on enhancing B2B product content quality and much-improved user/vendor experience. B2B will remain a focus area in subsequent quarters with dedicated teams working to achieve higher growth in B2B. Gen-AI has helped vendors in creating their service catalogues easily without much hindrance.

Category-focused initiatives to bring depth and help users extract more value from Justdial. Some of these initiatives include booking appointments with astrologers, detailed information about doctors practicing at Hospitals, Service catalogues in Spa and salons etc.
