Vserv’s unique technology gives it a clear edge"

The company is uniquely positioned to exploit the massive In-app advertising potential with its proprietary technology. Having fine tuned the product and established itself in India, the company has already made some inroads into the APAC market.

App development is fast emerging as a lucrative field for Indian developers. Vserv provides developers with a frictionless platform to monetize their apps and advertisers an ecosystem to reach out to consumers. The introduction of 3G, growing acceptance of Smartphone’s and feature phones has enhanced the reach for publishers. Presently, Vserv boasts of an ecosystem with full-screen Ads in 3500+ Apps, predominantly J2ME and Android platform. The company founded in January 2010 has already worked with 50+ brands.

“With the global consumption of apps growing unabated, In-app advertising is now a viable revenue stream for app developers. India is one of the fastest growing places for app as well as Mobile Internet consumption. Therefore, mobile advertising is gradually growing in acceptance both among advertisers and the mobile Applications (Apps) Developers” added Mr. Adiseshann
