ISB alum Piyush Shah of InMobi, Glance on building India’s first unicorn, and the growth story

“I don’t know whether I discovered ISB or ISB discovered me,” says Piyush Shah from the Indian School of Business PGP Cohort 2004, who is a Co-founder, InMobi Group; and President and COO, Glance, both among the unicorns from India, as we feature him in the first episode of Impact Chronicles.

From building the first unicorn of India to making it the first profitable unicorn of the nation, Piyush talks about how his entrepreneurial endeavours translated into a success story. He highlights how the heterogeneity of the cohort at ISB, and the spirit of entrepreneurship that the school inculcates, played significant a role in his growth trajectory.

He is in conversation with D N V Kumara Guru, Senior Director, Alumni Engagement, Advancement and External Relations, about his journey of many firsts.
