As part of this transaction, Qualcomm received mobile handset user interface (UI) software and a PC-based UI customization toolkit from Mango. The value of the deal was not disclosed. The deal with Qualcomm has offered an exit window for both Ojas, which is the first institutional investor, and other angel investors in Mango.
