About InMobi
InMobi was founded in 2007 in Bengaluru by Naveen Tewari, Abhay Singhal, Amit Gupta, and Mohit Saxena. Initially starting as a local SMS-based search service called mKhoj, they quickly pivoted to mobile advertising, realizing the massive potential of the early smartphone ecosystem.
In 2011, InMobi became India's first tech unicorn after raising $200 million from SoftBank. Operating globally, InMobi reaches over a billion unique mobile devices worldwide. The company has since expanded into content platforms (Glance), which became a unicorn itself, and data platforms (TruFactor).
