InMobi

Executive Summary

InMobi is a global technology business based in India that builds tools for mobile advertising and digital marketing. It was one of the first private startups in India to reach a billion-dollar valuation. It runs a massive system for mobile ads and also owns Glance, which is a smart lock screen service that shows news and videos to millions of phone users. The main business model focuses on selling software to other companies so advertisers can better reach customers and media owners can make more money from their apps. InMobi has made a profit consistently for many years, earning roughly $550 million in yearly sales while growing its business in the United States and Southeast Asia. Its main advantage is that it operates independently from the major closed tech ecosystems, giving brands an alternative way to use data for ads. A planned public stock offering in 2026 is seen as a major event for Indian tech and a sign of how well-established software companies are performing. The main dangers involve shifting laws about user privacy and the strict rules set by phone system owners like Google and Apple.
