The company, which was set up by Murly Tiwari and Jay Rai, now has 850,000 unique British Asian users, representing almost half of all UK online Asian adults. With high-earning British Asians being predisposed to aspirational brands, advertisers like Mercedes, iPhone and Barclays have sought out the services of Indoor Media and have found the results to be both effective and lucrative for their business. The network has also been used by public sector organisations National Blood Service, Diabetes UK, and Food Standard Agency to reach this demographic.

Paul Capleton, Account Director for Daimler Chrysler, said "With Indoor Media's expertise in targeting this hard to reach audience, we were able to deliver a successful campaign. We expect to continue communicating to this lucrative audience via Indoor Media".

Indoor Media has built AdMasala, an open ad network of premium Asian content websites, to create a single buying point for media buyers and now represents over 125 sites and has exclusive partnerships with the likes of The Times of India, India's largest newspaper group and Rediff, India's largest ISP and Web18, one of India's largest publishing companies.

Murly Tiwari, Managing Director of Indoor Media said "we have accomplished so much in this first year. There are numerous sales networks and advertising representation businesses, but we are the first dedicated central point of contact for national and international brands who want to target British Asian consumers via the web."

Jay Rai, Sales and Marketing Director, Indoor Media added "mainstream advertisers are learning that by making subtle changes to the message to reflect the audience, they can achieve better results and Indoor Media is helping them reach those audiences directly. After achieving so much in our first year, we are confident that the next year is going to be even more successful, for both us and our clients".

Jay and Murly launched Indoor Media after having discovered in a chance conversation that they were both looking at the same business idea, but from different sides of the media equation. Jay had tuned into the growing demand from advertisers wanting to target ethnic and was looking to create a more efficient media buying solution, whilst Murly had realised the potential of the untapped UK inventory of the numerous Asian based websites and held the technical expertise to build such a network. As the two had initially met on 7 January 2007, they decided to launch the business on 7 July 2007.
