iVdopia , the largest video and rich media mobile advertising network, has received the prestigious Red Herring Global 100 award. The honour recognizes the leading private companies from North America, Europe and Asia, celebrating these startups’ innovations and technologies across their respective industries.

 “The honour of being recognized with Red Herring’s Global 100 list adds to the chorus that sees how iVdopia is changing mobile video and rich media advertising for brand advertisers and agencies today across Smartphones,” says Chhavi Upadhyay, COO of iVdopia. “This is merely the beginning of the mobile advertising revolution. 2011 will see iVdopia introducing even more eye-grabbing innovations and product developments that will drive incredible engagement for users, like never before.”

Red Herring’s Global 100 list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs. Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Google, Skype, Netscape, Salesforce.com, YouTube, eBay and many others would change the way we live and work.

“Choosing the best out of the previous three years was by no means a small feat,” said Alex Vieux, Chairman of Red Herring. “After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed down our list from 1,200 potential companies to 200 finalists. Trying to get it down to 100 companies was a task upon itself. iVdopia should be extremely proud of its achievement, the competition was difficult.”
