As an Asian company, InMobi has made a lot of headway recently with their expansion from India to US, starting with a 2M fund for developers and a new investment series B round of 8M from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers & Sherpalo Ventures. Touted as an interesting independent ad-network by TechCrunch, InMobi is set to have an interesting trajectory. We have Emmanuel Allix from InMobi in Singapore to talk to us about the company, how they grow to reach 179 million consumers in over 108 countries through over 16 billion mobile ad impressions monthly in the past few years.

It has been an exciting week for the Malaysia web/tech scene with the Open Web Asia – Southeast Asia conference happening in Kuala Lumpur on 13-14 July. The TWIA crew hosted a live show with Serkan Toto (@serkantoto) from TechCrunch & Brian Wong (@brian_wong) formerly from Digg and now followFormation as our guests. We touched on some hot topics with great seats about InMobi’s 8M fund-raising success, the feedback about the Open Web Asia Conference and interesting start-ups which caught our eye, how Asian start-ups should improve on their pitching so to attract investors (and Asian investors should be more harsh on feedback to the entrepreneurs here) and Serkan’s interesting prediction for Asian companies in the next few decades. A special treat for all our listeners that you can view the video of the live show here. You can go directly to TWIA website or listen the podcast here in SGEntrepreneurs. You can watch the This Week in Asia Live Show Video from Satoo.TV. Read more

Back to the studio after an exciting week from Echelon 2010 and the good news that we are recently mentioned on TechCrunch. Akky Akimoto, the founder of Asiajin.com is here with us this week as our special guest. The week could not have been better without Apple’s announcement of the iPhone 4 and another massive showdown between Apple & Google/Admob in mobile advertising. How do those events affect Asia? While Gree, Japan’s number 2 mobile social network is now casting its attention to US and China markets, how about Zynga who is turning their guns to India and China? If you think Google TV is really new, why not find out what has been happening between web and TV in Asia here, and finally, the Geeks on the Plane have declared Silicon Valley is just a state of mind & dying, is Asia really coming of age?
