The analyst has given a subscription call to the issye, saying MapmyIndia offers a great business model with entry barriers.
It is generally a good promoters' pedigree. The fundamentals are good as it is an almost zero debt company. B2B business looks great. Also, good growth potentials look promising. However, the concerns remain that any technology updation or change in the existing setup can affect the business, he said, adding, valuation is on the higher side but growth prospect is also high.
