In 2021, ad-tech leader InMobi had made moves for a US listing with a potential $15bn market cap. But the vagaries of the capital market forced it to abort the plans. InMobi is back with its IPO plans. This time round, on the Indian bourses
Naveen Tewari, the founder of InMobi, carries nine mobile phones. Once, this even sparked a feeling of suspicion among the airport security. “I was asked, ‘dude, what’s your business?’” he says jokingly.
