Founded in 2000, OnMobile is headquartered in Bangalore, India and serves customers in 59 countries on 5 continents. OnMobile also has offices in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangladesh, Kuala Lumpur, Indonesia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Sydney, United Kingdom, Paris, Romania, Spain, Dubai, Cairo, Nairobi, Florida, Montreal, Bellevue, and California.
In the past one year, OnMobile has steadily grown its global footprint with the addition of partnerships in Africa and North America.
Originally incorporated in California under the name Onscan Technologies India Private Limited as a spin-off from Infosys, the company relocated to India. The company changed its name to OnMobile Asia Pacific Private Limited in April 2001 and finally to its current name in August 2007.

Arvind Rao, one of the founders of the company, resigned on July 10, 2012, due to corporate governance issues during his tenure. Co-founder Mouli Raman was appointed CEO following Rao's resignation.
