When MobilityWare reorganized its teams and reimagined its creative strategy, the result wasn't just a fresh perspective—it delivered a 21% boost in CTR, powered by the tools and insights of key partners InMobi and AppsFlyer. That transformation didn't happen in isolation; it was the product of smart collaboration, bold experimentation, and a laser focus on performance. We turned this episode of the PocketGamer Podcast into a masterclass in all three. Joining our hosts, Peggy Anne Salz and Brian Baglow, are Chris Kim, the UA mastermind behind MobilityWare's transformation, Adam Smart, AppsFlyer's Global Director of Product - Gaming and master of measurement, and Dharak Desai, the VP of Performance for North America & EMEA at InMobi Advertising, where he's written the playbook on a privacy-first growth strategy. Listen and learn from this group of unmatched UA experts as they dive into MobilityWare's success story, noting the tactics and tools that revealed a 13.5% drop in eCPI and a 38% increase in US-based iOS user growth for the studio—while offering smaller studios advice on standing out and mastering discoverability on a shoestring budget.Chris Kim - https://www.linkedin.com/in/cjkim213/MobilityWare - https://www.mobilityware.com/Adam Smart - https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-smart/AppsFlyer - https://www.appsflyer.com/Dharak Desai - https://www.linkedin.com/in/dharak-desai-a3034231/InMobi Advertising - https://advertising.inmobi.com/CHAPTER TIMESTAMPS00:00 - Intro03:53 - MobilityWare challenges post-ATT06:06 - A dramatic restructuring08:00 - InMobi & AppsFlyer partnerships10:00 - Balancing UA and retention11:47 - InMobi's role18:26 - AppsFlyer's SSOT24:45 - Lessons in getting back on track27:20 - MobilityWare's three incrementality tests30:56 - Standing out on a shoestring budget34:43 - Rapid fire cheatsheet38:32 - Favourite games Q&A
"Will AI fix everything, or just add another layer of complexity?" In todys episode takes a closer look at the Mobile World Congress event brining together innovators and tech leaders, setting the stage for new developments—like InMobi's demo of Google's Gemini-powered generative AI. Naveen, InMobi's CEO, showed off a lock screen feature where two selfies transform into a range of fashion avatars, linking directly to e-commerce sites for a seamless shopping experience. One of the wildest concepts? Lenovo's triple-display laptop, designed for professionals who need multiple screens on the go. While it sounds like a dream for productivity, the hosts debate whether it's practical or just another flashy gimmick that might make you the center of attention—whether you like it or not. Next, the discussion shifts to OpenAI's GPT-4.5 and how it stacks up against competitors like Claude 3.7, Gemini, and Grok. With talk of fewer hallucinations, improved reasoning, and even emotional intelligence, it seems like AI is getting smarter. But does it really live up to the hype? The hosts weigh in on its limitations, especially when compared to the latest AI benchmarks. The episode wraps up with a real-world look at AI adoption in businesses, particularly concerns about data privacy, misinformation, and hallucination risks. The hosts explain how companies use retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to reduce errors when training AI on internal data, but challenges persist. With AI still prone to making up information, industries like law remain cautious about full-scale adoption. The key takeaway? AI is evolving, but it's not yet reliable enough to replace human expertise entirely.
"Gaming publishers are a long oft-overlooked opportunity for brand advertisers." This week on the PocketGamer.biz Podcast, Todd Rose, Senior Vice President of Global Business Development and Addressability at InMobi Advertising, explains how the right approach to Consent Management Platforms (CMPs) can transform compliance into real revenue—for both gaming and non-gaming advertisers. Backed by InMobi's latest data, Todd reveals that even with minimal CMP customization, publishers can achieve a 70% opt-in rate, driving significant improvements in ad performance and revenue. Our hosts, Peggy Anne Salz and Brian Baglow, sit down with Todd and Paul Le Bas, Chief Revenue Officer at 52 Entertainment, to explore how CMPs help publishers and advertisers strike a balance between personalization, privacy, and monetization. They dive into why consent signals boost ad rates, how to fine-tune opt-in flows, and what brands need to know before hitting ‘start' on their CMP strategy.

Now you can stream it wherever you listen to your podcasts for free for a few weeks.The conventional wisdom is that Bengaluru is India's Silicon Valley. It's the cradle of India's tech revolution. First there was Infosys and Wipro on the IT services side. Then when startups become cool and hip, the default location to get it all started was also Bengaluru. Take the leaders across sectors, and you'll see they belong to Bengaluru — Flipkart, InMobi, Swiggy, PhonePe, Myntra, Ola, Amazon, Unacademy, Byju's…and much more. But of late, it looks like something has changed. There's now a sentiment that Bengaluru is for people who “want to” build startups, but Delhi is for people who build businesses. Delhi companies are the ones who seem to be gutsier, more resilient, and stronger. The list of tech companies that have gone public — Zomato, Paytm, Mamaearth, Infoedge, Delhivery, have one thing in common i.e Delhi. Why is this distance so wide? Do cities really influence businesses that much?Our guests for this episode have stories that might make you agree. Our first guest is Prashant Singh, who's the Head of Product at JAR, in Bengaluru. He's spent 20 years in Delhi, where he set up his own startup and sold it to Paytm. He's now in Bengaluru, and he's not convinced that a city can affect a company's future…but he remembers the early building days of Delhi – a city with a get-thing-done attitude and massive “ops chops.”Our second guest is Arnav Gupta, the Director of Engineering at JioCinema. He has also founded and sold his own edtech startup, as well as led the engineering and product for the Zomato app. Arnav worked in Delhi before VCs pulled him to Bengaluru – and now that he's spent a few years here, he knows what sort of companies only Bengaluru can give birth to, and why. Joined by hosts Rohin Dharmakumar and Praveen Gopal Krishnan, our guests discuss the unique cultural context each city adds to a business, why it's causing a rivalry, and what this means for the Indian startups ecosystem, going forward.If you like the episode rate us on your favorite streaming platform.

Career paths are spoken about as though it's linear. When we say climbing the career ladder, we mean no change in directions, no jerks in movements, only straight ahead and upward. But today's guest has a career path which is anything but linear – Piyush Shah, co-founder of InMobi group and President of Glance. His entrepreneurial journey has seen numerous pivots, innovations, and many unconventional choicesIt resembles somewhat of a road trip. When you set off on a road trip, you don't get to your destination as quickly and directly as possible. There are detours. There are sites you want to see and experience. And sometimes you take the longer, more scenic route to get to your destination. That's exactly how Piyush's career has been. In this episode, host Akshaya Chandrasekaran spoke to him about the art and science of career pivots, following curiosity and not passion, and the worst career advice he's received.

If this isn't the first time you're listening to First Principles, you're probably wondering what's going on. Why did we have five different founders opening the episode, instead of just one. It's because today's is a special episode. We went back to the first five episodes we didto compile some of the most interesting, original and often counterintuitive conversations from five accomplished founders.

We begin with Kabeer Biswas, the co-founder and CEO of Dunzo, the cult-like instant delivery service that started from Bangalore. He talks about the 10,000 plus tasks he's run himself on Dunzo, the impossible grind of fundraising, how founders' traits tend to show up as organization's culture and many more things. Episode 1: Kabeer Biswas of Dunzo talks about raising money, gathering user insights, battling deadlines and moreNext, we have Baskar Subramanian, the co-founder and CEO of Amagi, the most unlikely of unicorns to emerge from India. It is a media technology company that enables virtually the entire video production and distribution chain for all sorts of media companies globally. “Glass to glass solutions” is how Amagi describes itself, implying its presence from the glass of the camera where video is being shot to the glass of the screen on which it is finally watched. Baskar dropped out of his master's program at IIT Bombay because he found it oriented around getting grades, not necessarily learning. He talks about why entrepreneurship is like a drug for him, why vulnerability is a core value at Amagi, why a CEO's job is to be a clock-builder and not a time-keeper, and many more things. Episode 2: $1.5B Amagi Founder Baskar Subramanian talks about culture at work, parenting, and building from ground upNext is Nithin Kamath, the co-founder and CEO of Zerodha, India's largest online brokerage. He doesn't believe in setting targets or goals for his company or employees. He also is one of those rare Bangalore founders who have succeeded at scale without taking a single dollar of venture capital. No, in fact Nithin insists Zerodha's success is partly due to avoiding venture capital.From his anonymous days as “Nathan Hawk”, “Tarzan” or “Columbus” at a call center or internet forums, to running one of the most profitable and yet leanest startups in India, Nithin covers a lot of ground. He talks about thinking like a trader, running a company with zero attrition, creating optionality and many more things. Episode 3: Nithin Kamath of Zerodha candidly talks about building his bootstrapped business, weighing risks, and finding opportunitiesWhich brings me to Naveen Tewari, the co-founder and CEO of adtech giant InMobi, which is not only a unicorn in terms of its own valuation, but was also the first Indian company to incubate another unicorn of its own, lockscreen giant Glance. Naveen is one of the earliest tech entrepreneurs from India, having started his very first company, SMS-based search provider mKhoj, way back in 2007. Thus, survival is one of his recurring themes.Over the conversation he talks about the mistakes he made as an entrepreneur and his lessons from them, building careers and companies slowly instead of “blitzscaling”, CEOs pushing the envelope of what's possible within companies, and a lot more. Episode 4: InMobi founder Naveen Tewari gets candid about survival, innovation, and playing the game by changing the rulesAnd finally, we have Ananth Narayanan, the co-founder and CEO of Mensa Brands, a global tech-led house of brands – I know, it's a mouthful – which earned the distinction of becoming India's fastest unicorn. It buys existing brands, and then punches up their scale by providing the resources and knowledge to do so. Ananth says that's no different from a P&G, which too is a house of brands if you really look closely.Ananth talks about the emotional toll founders pay silently each day, learning to manage energy and not time, the best way to solicit and give feedback, and many more things.Episode 5: Learnability, curiosity, and brand building; Ex-Myntra CEO and Mensa Brands founder Ananth Narayanan gets candidI hope I managed to interest you in at least a few of those incredible conversations, if not all of them!
