Glance is the consumer bet of Naveen Tewari, who also leads InMobi. InMobi sold ads through other companies' apps. Glance puts content directly on the lock screen, the first thing a phone owner sees.
Glance launched in 2019 with $45 million from Mithril Capital. In November 2019 it acquired Roposo, a short-video app. In November 2020 Google and Mithril invested $145 million, valuing Glance above $1.2 billion and making it the second unicorn in the InMobi Group.
In June 2021 Glance acquired the social commerce company Shop101. In March 2022 it acquired the gaming company Gambit, and in June 2022 it held the Glance LIVE Fest.
Glance is a private company within the InMobi Group and has not announced a listing. Reports in 2026 about an IPO concern its parent, InMobi.
