What
is IPO?
An Initial Public
Offering (IPO) or stock market launch is a type of public
offering where shares of stock in a company are sold to the general public, on
a securities exchange, for the first time. Through this process, a private
company transforms into a public company. Initial public offerings are used by
companies to raise expansion capital, to possibly monetize the investments of
early private investors, and to become publicly traded enterprises

Just dial was founded by V.S.S. Mani and performs
in the capacity of the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company. Mr.Mani thought of the idea
while working for Yellow Pages Company called United Database India (UDI) in
1987. He felt that the information could prove to be much more useful if it
could be provided over the phone. In 1996, he came to know that Mumbai's Kandivali
exchange owned the number 088 888 88 888. He was well aware of the importance
of having an easy to remember number for a service like this and he somehow
persuaded the GM to allot the number to him. Mr Mani started the company with a
few pieces of borrowed furniture, rented computers, a 3x5 feet garage which he
took on hire and a seed capital of 50,000 INR.
