"Hiring environment is improving, albeit gradually. The drop in topline revenues and operating income reflect the high base effect of last year, but sequentially our performance has improved," InfoEdge CEO and Founder Sanjeev Bikhchandani said.

"We expect the second half to be better than the first half and all our businesses are expected to perform better in the last six months of this fiscal," Bikhchandani added.
