Coverage, calculations & financial sources +
Filed annual accounts for exact designated national identifiers. Every aggregate and peer pair uses one fiscal year, source currency and reporting basis; periods, coverage and overlap are explicit; 2026 partials are excluded.
The same up to eight reporting entities remain open across years, filters and sorts. Other company figures are available in Radar.
Source currencies and accounting bases stay separate. Missing accounts are excluded rather than treated as zero. Exact reporting periods appear on company previews. Annual totals can change with coverage and do not measure growth of a fixed company cohort.
DIGITAL FOOTPRINT
Web traffic, app reach and release cadence
How the Kolkata companies on this page show up online: the sites people visit, the apps they install, and how often those apps ship.
Busiest websites
11 of the 721 companies on this page carry a measured traffic record (1.5%); these are the largest of those, by monthly visits. The median among them is 262,214 visits.
Installs are lifetime totals to date at the June 2026 store reading — a measure of reach, not of people using an app today.
App reach by segment
The busiest app inside each of this page’s own segments, with the quarterly release trend behind it (2023Q2–2026Q1).

A company can carry several segment tags, so these rows overlap and should not be added together. Trend lines are zero-based and share one quarter grid, so a flat line is a quiet segment, not a missing one.
Release cadence by quarter
New apps published, beside apps whose most recent update landed in that quarter — the second bar is how much of the shelf is still being maintained.
Darker bars are new releases, lighter bars apps updated. 52 of 87 apps carry a release date. The series ends at 2026Q1, the last quarter that closed before the June 2026 reading.
