 Jakarta/Singapore, October 30, 2023:
 Roposo, a trends-first platform delivering LIVE experiences, today announced that it has launched in

 platform which has over 30 million active users in Indonesia. It will also be
 available as an app on Android Play Store and the Apple App Store.

 Roposo’s creator-driven, interactive, LIVE experiences immerse consumers in the most trending
 pop-cultural and social moments across entertainment, fashion, lifestyle, food &amp; cooking,
 fitness, sports, personal finance and more. These LIVE experiences transform consumers from being
 passive viewers to active participants. On Roposo, consumers can connect with and co-create
 LIVE experiences alongside their favorite creators and express themselves in communities of like-minded
 individuals. In Indonesia, Roposo has been piloting 40+ live streams daily on Glance over
 the past five months, with an average daily LIVE show viewership of approximately 1 million, and
 nearly 2 million hours of Roposo content are being watched monthly.
 

 For creators, Roposo, provides a safe environment to stand out, build their brand, gain
 recognition and start monetizing immediately. Additionally, Roposo offers mentorship and grooming for
 creators – starting from how to present themselves to data driven insights on best performing content,
 audience preferences, etc. Over 200 creators have already joined Roposo and the platform is planning
 to partner with at least 1000 more in the next three to four quarters. 

 
 Mansi Jain, Senior Vice President &amp; GM, Roposo, said about Roposo’s consumer value
 proposition, , "Consumers want LIVE experiences that enable them to stay
 connected to what is most trending and become a part of the biggest conversations around them. As a
 ‘trends-first’ platform, Roposo does just that, and provides consumers with a place where they come to
 really feel the vibe of the moment". She added,
 “Our tech and features bridge the creator-audience gap and enable deep engagement, making the experience
 of LIVE feel like real life. To give consumers the best trending LIVE content out there, we are
 partnering with some of the most exceptional creators in the country.”
 


 
 Dalip Shahri, Director, Indonesia Market Development, Glance, said about Roposo’s
 commitment to creators, , "For Roposo, delivering quality content and
 engaging LIVE experiences that consumers love matters the most. Talented creators can stand out in the
 crowd and start monetizing from Day 1 of their journey with Roposo, regardless of the number of
 followers they have. This is a major differentiator for creators compared to several other platforms and
 showcases Roposo’s commitment to helping Indonesia’s creators succeed”.
 

 For brands and advertisers, Roposo provides unique opportunities to connect and engage with
 the right audiences through LIVE experiences. These opportunities include reaching consumers on Glance lock
 screen - an Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven platform enabling consumers to discover premium content
 experiences on their Android smartphone lock screen. Glance’s experiences are personalized so that
 that consumers find what is most relevant to them just by ‘glancing’
 or looking at their lock screen, without unlocking their phones or spending time on search. Glance

 Indonesia, the platform expects to expand its presence to other markets including the US, Brazil, Japan and
 more in the coming quarters.

 What creators in Indonesia are saying about Roposo 
 On Roposo’s safe environment:
 &nbsp;“"As an experienced creator, I have enjoyed the kind of positive environment that Roposo
 provides. Given that Roposo’s content is also on the lock screen, it maintains high standards of safety
 and moderation to ensure that the content, comments, etc are safe for diverse audiences and situations.
 For creators, especially for new creators and women, this sense of security encourages more creative
 expression and higher engagement."”
 Rachel Angela Lee, popular creator who has been creating content on
 entertainment, comedy and food for nearly 10 years

 On gaining recognition and monetization at a fast pace through Roposo: 
 “My life is all about tips on working out from home as well as movement tutorials. I wanted to turn
 my passion for helping people get fitter into my career. Since I have started going LIVE with Roposo a
 few months ago, I have been able to secure brand sponsorships and have been able to monetize my talent
 very quickly. I feel that if I can do this, a lot of new creators also can!"
 &nbsp;Aditya Bagas, a budding LIVE creator who has been creating content in the
 fitness space for just a few months
 &nbsp;
 "I am seeing a lot of benefits from being a creator at Roposo already – right from endorsement
 collaborations to earning monthly income!"

 Jakarta/Singapore, June 12, 2023: InMobi, a leading provider of marketing and
 monetization technologies, and consumer technology company Glance, an unconsolidated subsidiary of InMobi,
 today announced the opening of their new regional office in Jakarta, Indonesia. This marks a crucial
 milestone for both companies in Indonesia – Southeast Asia’s biggest internet economy - reinforcing their
 commitment to the market. This is part of InMobi and Glance’s larger expansion across Southeast Asia. 

 
 Glance is an AI-powered smart lock screen that gives consumers premium,
 personalised experiences on their Android smartphone lock screens. Consumers enjoy casual gaming, LIVE game
 streaming, news, sports, lifestyle, fashion, entertainment, creator-led LIVE content and more on Glance.
 These experiences are driven by Glance’s partnerships with top publishers, developers, and creators. With
 Glance, consumers stay connected with what is most relevant to them easily and efficiently - without needing to download apps, search for content, and even without unlocking their
 smartphones. In a little over two years since its launch in Indonesia, Glance has amassed over
 30 million active consumers here and partnered with over 60 publishers.
 
 
 InMobi has deep expertise and unique reach in mobile advertising and is a
 technology partner for most of the world’s largest brands, game developers, and consumer app businesses.
 InMobi has been present in Indonesia for nearly 10 years and has partnerships with over 140 brands and advertisers. InMobi’s partners also leverage Glance to reach millions
 of consumers.
 

 
 Speaking about the expansion in Indonesia, Piyush Shah, Co-founder of InMobi Group and
 President &amp; COO of Glance said, "Indonesia is one of our fastest growing
 markets. Millions of consumers are loving our unique Glance smart lock screen experience. We have forged
 partnerships with some of the country’s top publishers and creators, who are benefiting from the scale
 and power of lock screen. InMobi has been a trusted partner for some of Indonesia’s biggest brands for a
 decade. We plan to continue investing in Indonesia and bringing value to all stakeholders in this vast,
 integrated ecosystem we have built here.”
 
 
 Rishi Bedi, Managing Director, APAC, InMobi, "InMobi today
 reaches 3 out of every 4 consumers in Indonesia through its deep partnerships with local and global
 publishers, making us the go to programmatic platform for Indonesia’s advertisers. Additionally, wide
 reach and strong engagement on Glance gives our partners a massive, unique value proposition. We are
 thrilled to strengthen our presence further in Indonesia to help accelerate growth for more brands
 through unique smart lock screen experiences."
 
 
 As part of its expansion in Indonesia, Glance plans to bring more new experiences and
 formats to the lock screen in the coming quarters. The company also intends to double its
 employee base here over the next twelve months, further strengthening its commitment to the Indonesian
 content and creator economy.
 

 
 Said Dalip Shahri, Director of Market Development Glance Indonesia, "Glance delivers experiences that keep up with the evolving preferences of consumers in
 Indonesia. In 2022, we brought casual gaming to the lock screen through our gaming platform Nostra and
 over 1.5 million games are being played on lock screen every day now. Given
 Indonesia’s love for LIVE, Glance will bring immersive creator-led LIVE
 experiences to lock screens in 2023."
 

 Glance is looking to onboard more than 100 streamers across categories over the next quarter to power LIVE
 experiences. The platform has already piloted LIVE streams that have seen strong engagement. For instance,
 in May, Glance transformed smartphone lock screens into the most happening destination for LIVE sports, by
 streaming content from the SEA Games, 2023, held in Cambodia. Over a million Glance consumers experienced
 real-time, interactive content during the 15-day event on their lock screen. Glance is also launching LIVE
 Creator Battle – Campus Edition on June 15, 2023, across 5 top university campuses in Jakarta. Through this,
 Glance aims to discover hundreds of new LIVE streamers in categories including sports, music,
 fitness, K-pop and more over a two-month period. Over the next year, Glance is aiming to reach 50 million
 consumers in the country. Globally, the platform has over 230 million active consumers.

 Jakarta/Singapore, Feb 24, 2023: Glance, a Singapore headquartered consumer technology company, today announced its plans for a massive expansion in Indonesia over the next one year, reinforcing its commitment to the market. At its flagship event ‘Glance Indonesia Unlocked 2023’, held in Jakarta on February 24, 2023, the company said that monthly active user (MAU) base for Glance Lock Screen has surpassed 30 million, positioning it to become one of the largest consumer technology platforms in Indonesia. The same is expected to cross 50 million in the next four to six quarters.    
 
 Glance inspires consumers to make the most of every moment by surfacing relevant experiences for them with its ‘smart lock screen’. It offers premium, personalized and trending content from top local and global publishers across categories like sports, entertainment, travel and lifestyle, gaming from the best game studios and streamers, and live content from professional creators. More than 225 million consumers enjoy Glance on their Android smartphones across markets. In Indonesia, Glance Lock Screen has been present for around two years and has quickly become one of the most loved consumer tech platforms in the country. Its overwhelmingly positive engagement numbers are a testament to this fact.   
 
 
 Online gaming is one of the fastest growing industries globally. In India alone, the online gaming market is
 estimated to cross $7 billion by 2025.
 
 
 "Over the past six months, our top three categories in Indonesia - entertainment, games, and technology content - have garnered an impressive 626 million, 591 million, and 411 million video views, respectively. Whether it's latest news and entertainment buzz to stay updated, live gaming for an adrenaline rush, or even health and fitness content for self-improvement, consumers are finding engaging, personally relevant experiences on Glance,” said Piyush Shah, Co-founder of InMobi Group and
 President &amp; COO of Glance, at Glance Indonesia Unlocked 2023. “The love from Indonesian consumers and high engagement levels underscore the power of the lock screen as a medium for enriching the lives of consumers," Shah added.
 
 
 

 The ‘Glance Smart Lock Screen Report Indonesia 2023’ released at the event today, shows that the platform’s popularity in the country cuts across demographics. As per the report, Glance has a near equal ratio of active male and female consumers and balanced engagement across age brackets (40% aged 35 and above, 36% between 24 and 34 years) The report further reveals that consumers engage with Glance Lock Screen consistently throughout the day, with maximum engagement levels at 10 AM and 5 PM.  
 
 
 To enhance the lock screen experience further, Glance intends to launch its LIVE platform, Roposo, in Indonesia in the upcoming quarter. Roposo has revolutionized live content with its deeply immersive creator led approach and boasts over 30 million users in other regions. Once launched in Indonesia, Roposo will add premium, creator driven live content on lock screen to Glance’s offerings. This will provide creators multiple, differentiated opportunities for monetization, widescale reach, and unique engagement that leverages Indonesia’s love of live.  
 
 Glance also plans to offer more gaming and live game streaming action, powered by its gaming platform Nostra. Nostra brings a wide range of experiences for gamers to discover, play, watch, connect and compete. This year, Nostra’s user base is expected to double in the country. Additionally, Nostra aims to expand its games library from 400 games to 1000 in 2023 through partnerships with major gaming studios and developers worldwide. This creates a huge opportunity for Indonesia’s world class talent pool of game developers, to build and scale games rapidly through presence on lock screen - not just in Indonesia, but across Nostra’s other markets as well. 

 

 Dalip Shahri, Director of Market Development Glance Indonesia said, “The growth of Indonesia’s creative economy is a top priority for Glance. With the expansion of Nostra, as well as the intended launch of Roposo, we aim to have a significant impact on the nation’s gaming industry, and creator ecosystem. Additionally, we plan to have 2 to 3 deep strategic partnerships with major media publishers to help them harness the Glance Lock Screen for deeper engagement with their audiences.”  

 In line with an ‘Indonesia First’ strategy that Glance had announced a year ago, the company has more than doubled its employee base here. As it embarks on further turbo-charging its growth trajectory, Glance intends to continue investing in local talent and infrastructure.
