Alluri, who established the firm in Hyderabad back in 1999, acquired the shares at an average price of 213.88p each, for a total value of £181,797.99.
Back in November, IMImobile told investors it had swung to a loss in the first half of its trading year despite seeing revenues and underlying profits advance.
Revenues climbed 26% across the six months ended 30 September to £67.2m, while gross profits also picked up 18% to £29.2m - driven by strong organic growth in monthly recurring revenues. Adjusted EBITDA meanwhile soared 35% to £7.7m and diluted adjusted earnings per share shot up 37% to 6.6p.
However, IMImobile turned in a small loss after tax of £100,000 - a marked turnaround from the £1m profit recorded a year earlier - as a result of its acquisitions of North American outfits Impact Mobile in the first half and Express Pigeon at the start of the second.
As of 1600 GMT, Imimobile shares had sparked up 4.20% to 223p.
