InMobi CMO Bikash Chowdhury steps down, starts new venture Zebu

Bikash Chowdhury, Chief Marketing Officer at InMobi and Glance, has moved on after a 14-year-stint.

In a LinkedIn post, Chowdhury stated that from July 1, he will turn his storytelling passion into a full-time venture that he has long been nurturing with K. Srikrishna. “It will be called Zebu - a storytelling-led training, coaching and consulting venture”, he stated in his post.

“14 years ago, I walked into the office of pre-SoftBank InMobi on a crisp Monday morning in July. It was a far cry from the offices we have today—we were working out of the first and second floors of a building on 100 Feet Road in Indiranagar, Bangalore, above an Arrow showroom. That space, like those early days, was scrappy, ambitious, and full of promise.  Yesterday, I stepped out for the last time”, he stated in his LinkedIn post.

Here's his LinkedIn post:

Talking about his new venture, he said, “Storytelling has always been my passion, and as a marketer, I’ve been fortunate to pursue it through my work. Since 2022, I’ve been nurturing a weekend passion project with K. Srikrishna. Starting 1st July, I’m turning that passion into a full-time venture that brings together our passion and calling - storytelling and teaching. It will be called Zebu - a storytelling-led training, coaching and consulting venture. I’d love for you to follow along as we bring Zebu to life. Stay tuned”.
