In 2019, Glance, a consumer business of InMobi, created a global category when it reimagined mobile lock screens as a powerful, smart ‘surface’, as a pioneer in this space. It was the first platform to bring the internet to the lock screen, becoming the gateway for millions of consumers.

Hyperlive is yet another “Made In India, For The World” Innovation from Glance, which will transform content experiences from passive consumption to real world like experiences as one interacts, engages and immerses with other users, creators and content.
