Bcg has gone for major expansion in countries like china , india and couple of more countries this financial year and now is present in atleast 22 countries now and counting.

These two most populated countries are a good fertile base where it can grow well and beat its competitors like tradedesk which is based in US.

If they are able to keep Daum they will have added advantage to grow in asia pacific region in countries like korea, japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Also other good geography would be to grow in Indochina region in countries like singapore, malaysia , Philippines and Thailand where indians specially south indians inhabit in large numbers.

Cheers

History
Founded by Suresh Reddy[2] and Vijay Kancharla[3] as USAGreetings.com in September 1999, the company introduced its first eMarketing product ‘Powered by USAGreetings’ engine, in November 1999. In June 2000, the company metamorphosed into Ybrant Technologies Inc. In September 2007, the company filed a Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). However, the company decided to put the IPO plans on hold.
In May 2008, Ybrant Technologies integrated all its acquired companies (Oridian,[4] AdDynamix, MediosOne, and VoloMP) and formally changed its name to ‘Ybrant Digital’. The reorganization of the company with the name change resulted in the formation of three primary operating divisions; Display Ad Networks led by Jacob Nizri,[5] Technology Platforms led by Vijay Kancharla,[3] and Strategic Initiatives led by Bradley N Cohen.[6]
In December 2009, Ybrant added location-based advertising (LBA) to its services, entering into a partnership with Livevana Innovations & Lepton Software.
In February 2010, Ybrant Digital launched its local search platform in India ‘Ybrant Reach’ (YReach), starting in Hyderabad.
In August 2010, Ybrant Digital bought a search-based internet company Lycos. At the time, Lycos was a top 25 Internet destination worldwide, reaching nearly 60 million unique visitors globally.[7][8] The Lycos Network of sites and services includes Lycos.com, Tripod.com, Angelfire, Gamesville, and HotBot.[9]
In May 2012, Ybrant Digital announced that it had agreed to purchase PriceGrabber, LowerMyBills, and ClassesUSA.com from Experian. PriceGrabber provides price comparison shopping services to Yahoo! and MSN shopping. LowerMyBills.com offers savings through relationships with over 500 service providers, while ClassesUSA.com is an online higher-education portal. Steve Krenzer would move from Experian to Ybrant to continue to lead these three businesses. Ybrant expected the purchase to nearly double its revenues.[10]
In September 2012, the purchase of PriceGrabber, LowerMyBills, and ClassesUSA.com from Experian fell through.[11]
In March 2016, Ybrant Media Acquisition, Inc., a unit of Ybrant Digital, filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in relation to a $36.6 million loss connected with the acquisition of the Lycos search engine.[12] In 2018, Ybrant lost ownership of Lycos Inc.[13]
In May 2018, Ybrant changed their name to Brightcom.[14]

Shoumik ji,
I would appreciate if you can point to any concrete information submitted to exchanges..
On wikipedia anyone can write anything, it gets corrected when others complain or correct it..
Coming to BCG, it wrote a lot on wikipedia and most of it is debatable, my point was, if there was anything they would have told to stock exchanges first. Most of the business could be pre Lycos era. All the acquisitions they did pre Lycos, can you please give me name of one company and their website, as, as per SKR these acquired companies operate separately and hence should have their own website ( atleast )

Interesting info..
Looks like bank debts should be fully settled and pledged shares released soon.
It is up to the management
to come with proper,timely, clear and clean updates rather than continue to beat about the bush and spread uncertainty.
I hope they have learnt their lessons.
Lot needs to be done about which SKR talked during last conf call and also indicated in the updates around mid year or so last yer.
Once there is delivery on those things, market will certainly have another look at he BCG share with fresh eyes and RE rate it accordingly.

[kpal]

With a holding of just 39% out of which 59.40% pledged fundamentally speaking cuts a very sorry figure for the scrip. With the pref. allot done, Next this should get done on a war footing which will then pave the way for a glorious future for the company & its shareholders, This also out of the way, They then ought to declare however minuscule the dividend amount & give a clear picture regarding Daum. Today’s volumes & price action does indicate that the market is watching very closely & will only accept if these things get cleared at the earliest.

[108BULLGURU]

Daum settlement,zero debt,release of pledged shares and some reasonable divi will put it straight to new 5 year highs leading to further rapid
moves to fair price discovery which is the need of the hour.

[108BULLGURU]

re divi i think even 40% dividend means 40 crores or so to be paid out of net profits.
No bi g deal.

[kpal]

The saying goes Action speaks louder then words, Which is very apt in our company’s context, These are very important factors that cannot e ignored nor can e overlooked, High time company does what it ought to do that too at rapid space. Anything short of it markets are not going to accept it & that will reflect in the stock price.

[108BULLGURU]

My thinking is it cant get worse than this. Market has alreadsy written this company off.
It can only get better in my views.

[108BULLGURU]

If U compare profit NPAT of BCG Vs AFFLE and work out the market cap,
then BCG should have market cap of 40000 crores making BCG worth 800-900 rupee a piece.
WOW.
U can imagine where it can go in a hurry.if things pan out well as expected in coming 5 months or so
