Tumri, which launched in 2004, provides a similar advertising technology to Teracent. The startup's product, AdPod, creates display ads that are customized in realtime to the specific consumer and site. Tumri's dynamic ad platform will is optimized at the creative level to enable advertisers to change the animation, background template, featured product, headline, image, and more dynamically based on who is viewing the ad and where the individual is viewing the ad from geographically.
