Food, fitness and a ban on dog-tags at InMobi’s colorful HQ [photos]

Successful startups have disrupted lots of things – including the ways employees work. Gone are the cubicles and boss’ cabins amid grey-and-beige interiors, gone are the soul-crushing working hour logs and sad canteen food.

In Bangalore, India’s tech hub, mobile adtech company InMobi has pushed the envelope further and done away with employee lanyards.

“Early in my career, employees were forced to wear ID cards on lanyards around their necks. This was something every employee absolutely despised,” says Naveen Tewari, InMobi’s CEO, to Tech In Asia.

“So in our company we have completely done away with tags and biometric identification systems for another very simple concept – trust in our employees. Trust, which is appreciated by our employees and motivates them every day.”
