Kunal Nagpal — Chief Business Officer at InMobi

InMobi, one of the world's leading independent mobile advertising platforms, has appointed Kunal Nagpal as its new Chief Business Officer, where he will oversee InMobi's advertising businesses. This appointment signals a strategic move by InMobi to consolidate its commercial leadership under a seasoned executive with deep roots in mobile and programmatic advertising. Nagpal previously served as Senior Vice President and General Manager at PubMatic, where he led publisher development and platform solutions, giving him extensive experience on both the supply and demand sides of the programmatic ecosystem. His move to InMobi represents a significant talent acquisition for the company as it looks to strengthen its competitive position in the global mobile advertising market.

Nagpal's appointment as CBO at InMobi carries meaningful implications for the mobile and programmatic AdTech landscape. His background at PubMatic, a major sell-side platform, brings valuable publisher-side expertise to InMobi's predominantly demand and network-focused business model, potentially accelerating efforts to deepen publisher relationships and expand supply-side capabilities. InMobi has been investing in its DSP, SSP, and data platform offerings, and a CBO with cross-ecosystem experience could help unify go-to-market strategies across these verticals. The move also reflects a broader industry trend of senior talent migrating between major AdTech platforms, intensifying competition for experienced commercial leaders who understand programmatic infrastructure, identity solutions, and the evolving privacy-first advertising environment. For competitors like Digital Turbine, Moloco, and IronSource (now part of Unity), InMobi's leadership reinforcement signals continued ambition in the mobile-first advertising segment.
