QUIKR AND OLX IS BETTER THAN JUSTDIAL




Justdial, Quikr and Olx are the top three classifieds websites in India. Amongst them Justdial was established by VSS Mani who serves as the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the company and launched 20 years ago on 16 February 1996 having the headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra. It provides pan-India search services i.e. a large classifieds service where users can call a common number to request a human operator what products or services they are looking for and then the available, listed businesses are communicated to the users by Email, mobile or SMS.
Another one amongst the top three classifieds websites in India is Olx. It was founded by Alec Oxenford in March 2006 having headquartered in New York City, New York, United States. Olx is known as the next generation of free online classifieds as it offers free local classifieds ads in India.
Quikr which is also one amongst the top three classifieds websites in India was launched in 2008 by Pranay Chulet and Jiby Thomos having headquartered in Mumbai. It is India’s leading cross-category classifieds platform, which provide services like, buy or sell apartments, used cars, bikes. Fin jobs, home services, repair electronic etc.
Now, among the above top three, Olx and Quikr has the main focus on buy and sell. Whereas, the main focus of justdial is on listing of business. Olx and Quikr are free classifieds whereas; Justdial is paid & free listings.
As per my view it is very difficult to show our ads on the top listings in justdial without paying them the charges for it. We never get clients from justdial unless we pay to them. Recently, I have got very bad experience of this. We call and ask about any service they will send our contact of only those advertisers who have paid them. Along with this, their charges are high and the service is also not good as compare to the Olx and Quikr which are totally free and having good service. Justdial have to lower down their rates and also, they have to improve their service to be in competition and if want to verge over the other two in market.
Right now, Justdial is among the top three classifieds websites in India along with Olx and Quikr but, I personally feel that, if justdial does not improve its service and doesn’t lower its charges then, very soon it will have to face tough competition from Olx and Quikr and who knows may be can go out of the competition also.
So, I think, it’s a time for Justdial to re-emerge in terms of customer friendly ways so that they can remain their top position.
