What happened

Moloco launched a global agency partner program, with Indian agencies strongmetrics and Momentus citing collaboration to improve app discovery and lower-funnel

Key facts

  • More than a dozen founding partners
  • Four regions
  • Over 200 countries and territories
  • Founded in 2013

Why this matters

Moloco’s formalised agency ecosystem makes Indian performance-marketing firms more strategically relevant partners for mobile ad-tech, app-growth and cross-border expansion initiatives.

What to watch

  • Named retailer, marketplace or quick-commerce client wins attributed to the founding Indian partners.
  • Evidence of budget reallocation from Meta, Google, DSPs or OEM inventory into Moloco-managed campaigns.
  • New Moloco integrations with mobile measurement partners, customer data platforms, retail media networks or commerce platforms.
  • Case studies reporting cost per first purchase, retention, return on ad spend or incrementality rather than install volume.
  • Expansion of the programme's certification tiers, co-marketing funds, preferred-partner benefits or exclusive data and measurement capabilities.
  • Changes in mobile attribution availability, privacy rules or Android ecosystem targeting that increase demand for alternative performance channels.
  • Expand pilots with Indian quick-commerce, grocery, fashion, beauty, pharmacy and marketplace apps where repeat transactions create strong optimisation signals.
  • Build agency playbooks around post-install outcomes: first order, second order, 30/60/90-day retention, basket margin and predicted lifetime value.
  • Offer incrementality and media-mix test frameworks to demonstrate spend that is genuinely additive to Meta, Google and Apple Search Ads.
  • Package product-feed, dynamic creative and deep-linking integrations for retailers with large SKU catalogs and app-web journeys.
  • Recruit additional regional agencies in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, using Indian partners as cross-border performance-media operators.
