History

[edit]

Tanla was founded by Dasari Uday Kumar Reddy in May 1999 during the dot-com bubble.[4]

In December 2006, Tanla was listed on BSE and NSE after its initial public offering.[5]

Tanla acquired Finland-based mobile payments company OpenBit Oy (now called Tanla Oy) in 2008. In June 2008, Tanla picked up 85% in the company, followed by an acquisition of 5% in June 2009 and the remaining 10% in April 2010.[6][7]

Tanla Platforms, in August 2018, acquired 100% of Karix Mobile (formerly known as mGage India) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Unicel from GSO Capital Partners, a Blackstone company, at an enterprise value of 340 crore.[8] The closure of this acquisition was announced in April 2019.[9]

In 2023, Tanla acquired 100% stake in ValueFirst Group from Twilio for $42 million (346 crore).[10]

Services

[edit]

Tanla Platforms Limited initially started as a Bulk SMS provider in Hyderabad catering to SME. As the team grew, the company evolved into a Cloud communication provider with services and products with aggregators and Telcos across the globe.
