InMobi Raises $350M Ahead Of 2026 IPO
- ByStartupStory | December 4, 2025
Indian mobile advertising platform InMobi has raised $350 million in a pre-IPO funding round led by Canada’s CPP Investments, with participation from existing investors including SoftBank and Carlyle Group. The fresh capital boost aims to accelerate product innovation, expand sales and engineering teams, and support global market expansion ahead of a planned initial public offering in 2026.
Founded in 2007, InMobi offers an AI-powered mobile advertising platform that connects brands with consumers across 1.8 billion devices worldwide. It operates a programmatic marketplace integrating data analytics, contextual advertising, and privacy-compliant targeting across Asia, North America, and Europe.
The recent capital injection values the company at approximately $5 billion and reflects growing investor confidence in mobile adtech amid increasing digital media consumption and shifts to mobile-first marketing. InMobi plans to deploy funds into emerging technologies such as connected TV advertising, in-app commerce, and augmented reality campaigns, seeking to capture rising advertising budgets on new platforms.
The company faces competitive pressure from global giants like Google 0.97% and Meta 4.22%, but pursues opportunities in fast-growing markets and differentiation through proprietary AI capabilities. InMobi’s 2026 IPO aims to unlock liquidity for pre-IPO investors while fueling innovation and global scale in the $500 billion digital advertising ecosystem.
