InApp was founded in 2000 with offices in Palo Alto, California, and Trivandrum, India. The company was established with the goal of providing cutting-edge technology solutions to businesses and organizations worldwide. One of InApp's first clients was Sun Microsystems, a market leader specialized in computer technology.

Sun Microsystems was a pioneer in the computer industry, particularly known for its work in Unix-based systems and network computing. The company's products and technologies were widely adopted by businesses and organizations worldwide, making it a valuable early client for InApp.

InApp's unique presence in both Silicon Valley and India enabled us to leverage the strengths of each location and deliver a truly global service. This helped us build a strong reputation in the industry and attract a diverse range of clients.
