all this and more, working closely with our new investors,"
said Arvind Rao co-founder and chief executive officer
of OnMobile.
"Our
choice of Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs and Polygon Investment
Partners was driven by the strategic role they will
be playing in our drive towards the next level of global
growth. There is a significant opportunity to export
the innovations and market learnings
from our India deployments overseas, and to bring the
latest innovations from around the world into India;
our new investors are superbly positioned to help us
do this," he added.
