Vishwanath Alluri: Chairman, CEO and Founder

Vish founded IMImobile in 1999 with a vision of harnessing the intellectual resources of India to develop an IPR centric technology company. While recognising the potential of the rapidly evolving mobile data space Vish was acutely aware that such fast growth does come with limitations; namely in the ability to quickly develop and manage the ever-changing technology. Vish therefore set out to build a technology company which would liberate mobile operators and media companies of technology complexities and so enable them to realise the huge revenue potential. A pioneer of the ‘managed service model’, IMImobile delivers turnkey technology solutions thus allowing customers to focus on their core business development. Today IMImobile has become one of the leading global players in the mobile Value-Added Services market and the managed service approach is more popular than ever.
