As InMobi Group accelerates its next phase of growth through a robust pipeline of global acquisitions planned over the coming year, right M&A will be critical in enabling the organization to scale rapidly while preserving cultural coherence, leadership strength, and operational rigorâmaking inorganic growth a core lever in achieving our long-term business vision.

This role exists to ensure that acquisitions are:
Assimilated fast
Organisationally and culturally integrated
Cost- and value-disciplined
Measurably accretive to the core business
The role does not own deal execution. Instead, it ensures that every deal delivers its intended strategic, organisational, and people outcomes, with clear accountability for value realisation. Operating at the intersection of People, Strategy, Finance, and Business, this is a high-impact role critical to making inorganic growth a repeatable, disciplined value engine for the organisation.

Culture, performance norms, and operating cadence
Workforce cost structures, location leverage, and scalability
Shape integration hypotheses that directly influence:
Valuation ceilings
Retention vs redundancy strategies

This role acts as the single-threaded owner for integration outcomes.
Org, Talent & Culture Assimilation
Lead future-state org design and leadership mapping
Make strategic calls on:
Role redundancies
Leadership transitions
Retention of truly critical talent
Drive cultural assimilation in close partnership with PBPs, focusing on:
Decision speed
Accountability and ownership
Performance bars and execution rigor
Ensure acquired leaders and teams are fully embedded, not operating as parallel structures.
Synergy & Cost Value Realisation(Core to the Role)
Architect and deliver robust synergies across:
Workforce and leadership layers
Vendors, platforms, and infrastructure
Operating model simplification
Partner with Finance to track real P&L and cash impact, not just synergy narratives
Embed cost discipline from Day-1, ensuring value is realisedânot deferred
Hold integration teams accountable to committed vs realised value.
Senior Stakeholder & Governance Leadership
Act as a trusted extension of the CHRO in driving enterprise-wide change
Partner closely with CEO, CFO, Business Heads, and SIG
Provide transparent, executive-level updates on:
Value realised vs committed
Integration risks and blockers
Org, leadership, and talent implications
Ensure governance is tight, decisions are documented, and trade-offs are explicit.
Playbooks, Governance & Institutional Capability
Build and institutionalise M&A integration playbooks, trackers, and governance models
Create repeatable frameworks that scale across multiple concurrent deals
Ensure auditability and readiness for IPO-level scrutiny
Codify learnings to continuously strengthen the organisationâs M&A muscle
What Success Looks Like
Acquisitions are integrated cleanly and quickly
Clear people, org, and cost synergies are measurably delivered
No prolonged âintegration fatigueâ across the organisation
Acquired leaders and teams operate as one company, not legacy entities
A scalable, institutionalised M&A integration playbook exists across the org
Inorganic growth becomes a predictable value lever, not a risk function
