Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) signed a memorandum of understanding with the company on November 3, Moneycontrol and ETV Bharat reported. The station is still being built and will be called InMobi Ibbaluru Metro Station. The deal runs for 30 years with a total contractual commitment of Rs 65 crore, excluding GST, InMobi said in a statement carried by PTI and Mint. The Hindu and Moneycontrol reported that the money covers both the naming rights and a contribution towards construction costs. BMRCL managing director P C Jaffer signed for the metro, and Subi Chaturvedi, InMobi's global senior vice president and chief corporate affairs and public policy officer, signed for the company. Ibbaluru is planned as an interchange between the Blue and Red lines, on a stretch packed with IT and technology offices. For BMRCL the deal is about money that does not come from tickets. Jaffer said the arrangement would support metro infrastructure while strengthening the corporation's non fare revenue, and ETV Bharat noted that BMRCL already has similar naming deals on the same corridor with Prestige Group for Bellandur, Embassy Group for Kadubeesanahalli and Bagmane Group for DRDO Sports Complex. Founder and chief executive Naveen Tewari said the partnership reflects the company's commitment to giving back to Bengaluru. Inc42, which reported the deal on November 10, linked it to InMobi's long pending plan to list in India. The company has appointed JPMorgan Chase, Jefferies, Kotak Mahindra Capital and Axis Capital as merchant bankers but has not yet filed its draft red herring prospectus. In December 2025 its cofounders bought back roughly 25 to 30% of the company from SoftBank using $350 million of debt, cutting SoftBank's stake from about 35% to under 8%, and in May 2026 InMobi acquired the San Francisco app marketing and analytics platform MobileAction, Inc42 reported. What to watch: Rs 65 crore spread over 30 years is a brand and civic commitment rather than a large annual spend for a company of InMobi's size, and the station itself is not yet open. The bigger signal for investors will be whether the IPO paperwork, which has slipped past the earlier 2025 target reported in 2024, finally reaches SEBI. ## Sources 1.
