C J George, Founder and Managing Director of Geojit, said the EBITDA declined by 35 per cent compared with Rs58 crore a year ago due to increase in head count, increase in marketing expenditure and other expenses which went up after the post lockdown normalisation. “We have seen a robust growth of 31 per cent year on year (YoY) in the distribution income in this quarter,” George said.
