InMobi

InMobi has appointed four merchant bankers (JPMorgan Chase, Jefferies, Kotak Mahindra Capital, Axis Capital) to manage its $1 billion IPO. The company plans to begin IPO proceedings this week, with listing targeted for the next few months. This follows a domicile shift from Singapore to India.

Leadership read: InMobi's domicile shift from Singapore to India is the operational fact that carries the most weight here. Redomiciling is not administrative housekeeping — it repositions the cap table, changes the regulatory interface with SEBI, alters how existing SoftBank-era instruments are treated under Indian securities law, and resets the governance clock for a company that has been IPO-adjacent for five years without listing. The cofounder buyback of SoftBank's stake, completed ahead of this filing, further consolidates control in a structure now built for Indian public-market scrutiny. The company is not the same legal entity it was when it last shelved these plans in 2021. This is one of twelve capital-raising signals we have tracked in the last 90 days across public-market preparation activity, with authID and Vogenx both filing S-1 registrations and MakeMyTrip, Cult.fit, and OYO's parent all submitting DRHPs with SEBI in the same window. The India-specific leg of this pattern is particularly dense: at least four new-age tech companies have filed or are filing with SEBI in the current cycle, against a backdrop of materially improved secondary-market conditions compared to the 2022–2024 window that repeatedly pushed InMobi's plans back. Companies reaching this stage of public-market preparation in the India adtech and mobile-platform corridor face concentrated demand for leadership in investor relations, public-company financial controls, and cross-border regulatory operations — particularly where a Singapore-origin cap table must be harmonized with SEBI disclosure norms. Commercial leadership capable of articulating programmatic and AI-driven monetization to institutional equity audiences is equally at a premium.
