What Kritter Software Technology does

Kritter Software Technology, founded in August 2013 in Bengaluru, India, provides white-label programmatic advertising technology that enterprises, agencies, publishers, retailers, and payment application providers can deploy on their own infrastructure. Its core product, the Ad Trading Stack, unifies Ad Server, Demand-Side Platform (DSP), Supply-Side Platform (SSP), and Ad Exchange capabilities in a single modular platform, supplemented by a Data Management Platform (DMP), a Custom Bidder (a machine-learning-based bidding algorithm), Dynamic Creative Optimization, and vertical-specific monetization modules for retail/ecommerce and payment apps. The platform supports real-time bidding across first-price, second-price, and fixed CPM auctions; header bidding and waterfall strategies; video, display, native, audio, and product-listing ad formats; and integrations with Snowflake, LiveRamp, and Nielsen DAR. All deployments run on customer infrastructure (cloud or private data center), ensuring first-party data never leaves the buyer's environment.
