In June 2013, following investigations for fraud, Index Corporation was forced to file for civil rehabilitation bankruptcy.

Index Asia Ltd., formerly known as Index Corporation Thailand Ltd., is a mobile content and service provider in Thailand that was established in April 2002. Once Index Corporation Thailand Ltd. was amalgamated with Mobi Town Ltd., and Tiger Mob Ltd., the company was re-branded as Index Asia Ltd.[21]

They are a subsidiary of iXIT Corporation that provides mobile software application, licensing and application development services within Thailand.

Index Corporation Thailand Ltd., was renamed to Index Asia Ltd. effective 1 July 2015.
