The company started offering local search services in 1996 under the Justdial brand and is now the leading local search engine in India.  Its official website www.justdial.com was launched in 2007.

Justdial's search service is available to users across multiple platforms, such as the internet, mobile Internet, over the telephone (voice) and text (SMS). Justdial's search service bridges the gap between the users and businesses by helping users find relevant providers of products and services quickly, while helping businesses listed in Justdial's database to market their offerings. Justdial has also initiated its ‘Search Plus’ Services for the users.  These services are aimed at making several day–to–day tasks conveniently actionable and accessible to the users. With this step, Justdial is transitioning from being purely a provider of local search and related information to being an enabler of such transactions. Justdial intends to provide an online platform to thousands of SME’s to get them discovered and transacted.
SAIF Partners, Sequoia Capital, Tiger Global, EGCS and SAP Ventures have invested in the company.

Justdial has 08888888888 as their operator assisted hotline number, across India, which is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with multi–lingual support.
Justdial Apps are available for the Android, iOS, Blackberry and Windows platforms and have location based service for the mobile Internet users.
In 2011 Just Dial announced demerger of activities and operations pertaining to IT–related testing and other related services of our Company to JD Global.
