Pioneering Innovation in Technology

Earlier this year, InMobi was recognized by the Government of India as a key contributor to India’s history of innovation. Commemorating India’s 75 years of independence, NITI Ayog in April this year recognised InMobi as one of the 75 technological milestones in the country’s history of innovation since its Independence.

In 2019, Glance, a consumer business of InMobi, created a global category when it reimagined mobile lock screens as a powerful, smart ‘surface’, as a pioneer in this space. It was the first platform to bring the internet to the lock screen, becoming the gateway for millions of consumers. In enabling personalised discovery on the lock screen, Glance is bridging the digital divide, shattering barriers of language, technological know-how, and education that the traditional search and app download-based internet is riddled with. Hyperlive is yet another “Made In India, For The World” Innovation from Glance, which will transform content experiences from passive consumption to real-world-like experiences as one interacts, engages, and immerses with other users, creators and content.
