The idea to start JustDial came in mani's mind when he was working in UDI (United database India) in 1987. He thought that if this database of valuable information could be made available through phone and through web, it will prove to be very helpful for users. Luckily, he came to know of the number 088 888 88 888, which he thought would be very easy to remember. After all this preparation, the company could still not be started because he did not had enough money to buy a telephone. Telephone connection at that time cost Rs 15,000. Oh yes, you heard it, fifteen thousand rupees. The company got started in 1996 and since then it's only marching forward. In 2007, he started online database portal which gave Justdial the wings to fly.

Starting with borrowed furniture and rented computers, Justdial's total revenue crossed 2 thousand million in 2012.

An MBA would provide you with a more wholistic approach of business management, whereas you job will be very specific to one particular or related area. So an MBA would make your basics strong.
