SoftBank offloads $250M InMobi stake as Kovai.co's Document360 hits $10M ARR

SoftBank is reportedly selling over 20% of its stake in InMobi for approximately $250 million, valuing the company at around $1 billion. The deal would reduce SoftBank's stake to below 10% from its current 33-35%, marking a significant retreat from its first India investment. Meanwhile, Bengaluru continues to cement its position as India's technology hub. The Bengaluru Innovation Report 2025 reveals the city ranks fifth among 59 global AI cities and received $38 billion in venture capital funding between 2020 and 2024. The city is home to 2.4 million software engineers and 350,000 semiconductor professionals. Separately, Dream11 is pivoting from real-money gaming to a second-screen sports entertainment platform, featuring creator-led content and free-to-play fantasy sports.

InMobi founders buy back $250M stake from SoftBank ahead of IPO

InMobi's founders have bought back approximately 25-30% stake from SoftBank for $250 million, reducing the Japanese investor's holding from 35% to 5-7%. SoftBank, which initially invested $200-220 million in the mobile advertising company starting in 2011, will avoid the promoter tag ahead of InMobi's planned IPO. The transaction values InMobi at under $1 billion. To finance the buyback, the founders pledged their shares to raise debt, following a pattern seen with other Indian startups including Oyo and Zetwerk. InMobi and its founders recently raised $350 million in dollar-denominated debt from Varde Partners, Elham Credit Partners and SeaTown Holdings. SoftBank made its first $100 million investment in InMobi in 2011, followed by a similar amount the following year.

InMobi raises $350m ahead of 2026 IPO

InMobi raises $350m ahead of 2026 IPO. InMobi has secured US$350 million in new funding from Varde Partners, Elham Credit Partners, and SeaTown Holdings. The India-based mobile ad and consumer tech company is raising funds ahead of a planned IPO expected in 2026. The funding consists of two tranches: a US$200 million loan at the operating company level, and a US$150 million loan at the holding company level, both secured against the founders' stake. Sources said the interest rate on the debt is between 13% and 14%. A significant portion of the funds will be used to buy back shares from existing investors, mainly SoftBank and other private equity firms. Food for thought. InMobi debt carries a pre-ipo risk premium. * Pricing sits in the low teens at the operating company (the day-to-day business) tier and in the high teens at the holding company (the parent entity) tier. Lenders remain wary before listing 1. * Glance, InMobi's lock-screen platform (a service that puts content and ads on smartphone lock screens), logged a Rs 929 crore loss on Rs 600 crore operating revenue in FY24 2. That pressures debt service at double-digit rates. * New borrowings are secured by the founders' stake (shares pledged as collateral) 1. Recent raises include Glance's Rs 200 crore loan from Stride Ventures and InMobi's $100 million from MARS Growth Capital in 2023 2. The company now uses more debt with equity 2. Pre-IPO buyback opens a secondary path for credit investors. * Proceeds fund a buyback from existing investors, including SoftBank. This could enable secondary blocks alongside the credit deal, and some investors may seek equity warrants (rights to buy shares at a preset price) before the planned IPO 1. * The dual-tranche plan has two loans, $200 million at the operating tier and $150 million at the holding tier. Each slice carries a different risk and return across the capital structure (the mix of debt and equity) 1. * Founder-stake-secured paper priced in the low to high teens could appeal if InMobi raises up to $1 billion via IPO, but downside remains given Glance's FY24 losses and an ad-heavy revenue mix (high reliance on advertising) 12. Recent InMobi developments. How would you feel if you could no longer use Tech in Asia?
