The jump in growth is 'massive' this year: Pankaj Pawan, Co-founder & CEO, Maximl

Maximl, which claims to be India’s first connected worker platform for deskless workers, is looking to grow about five to six times this year while also expanding to other segments on the back of increased demand through the pandemic.

Maximl provides a no-code platform that digitizes all the on-field workflows and empowers the deskless workforce with digital work instructions, on-field collaboration tools, on-the-job training, and organizing knowledge to drive improvements in productivity, safety, and quality.

"Since our inception, we have been growing double year-on-year but this year, we are looking at 5-6x growth, particularly because of the no code capabilities and applicability of the same platform for other sectors, as well as use cases within the same industries. This time it is a massive jump," Pankaj Pawan, Co-founder & CEO, Maximl said.


The Chennai-based company raised $1.5 million in a Pre-series A round from Nexus Venture Partners and Axilor Ventures. It is now looking to raise upwards of $10 million in its series A funding in the next couple of quarters.

"We are in talks to raise a series A," he said. "We're looking at an amount upwards of $10 million. There are some talks in progress with respect to the market size, and even sort of expanding to other sectors."

Maximl is currently present at over 50 global sites with 16 enterprise customers across India, South East Asia, Latin America and Europe. The company is planning to expand further in these markets by leveraging its partner network while also working on its sales and marketing strategies to have a strong presence in US and Indian markets. The Middle East too is one of the markets that Maximl is looking to foray into.

"In India, we work with eight out of the 10 oil and gas clients that we have. The Middle East is definitely a good market for us to be in and is something that we are planning in terms of global expansion. With respect to the Middle East, our solutions are definitely valid particularly around the SaaS concept itself which is very new for these industries. Pre-covid there was definitely something on the cards, but at this point we're sort of re-igniting those threads."

The company has a strong presence in the oil and gas, petrochemicals, and metals space in India with its Turnaround Management Solution. It has digitized more than 60 massive scale industrial maintenance turnarounds and boasts long-term engagements with the three of the top five Fortune 500 companies in the country. Maximl has extended its services to many sectors in the past two years including chemicals, CPG, warehousing, natural gas, power and utilities, and industrial EPC.
