Why Maaya
What we promise. Where you'd sit. What's true at our scale.
Belonging & Equal Opportunity
You belong here. We built it that way.
Maaya is founder-led and has been since 2011. We take equal opportunity seriously because we've watched, across 15 years and 453+ customers, what happens when teams are selected narrowly: the work gets thinner. ASK — Attitude, Skill, Knowledge — is the only filter we care about.
What we commit to, concretely:
- ASK-based hiring decisions only. Attitude, Skill, Knowledge. Background, gender, caste, religion, language, or home state do not factor.
- Equal pay audit. We review compensation bands annually for parity within role and experience level.
- POSH-compliant workplace. Full Prevention of Sexual Harassment committee, training, and redressal process. Named committee members listed in the employee handbook.
- Career-break-friendly hiring. We actively welcome candidates returning after breaks — for parenting, health, caregiving, travel, or any reason. The ASK framework does not penalize time away.
- Language inclusivity. Tamil, Hindi, and English are all first-class at Maaya. Team communications and customer work happen in whichever language serves the work best.
- Accessibility & accommodations. We accommodate mobility, sensory, and neurodiversity needs in the workplace and the hiring process. To request an accommodation at any stage, email people@maayasoft.in.
No stock language. No manufactured ERG infrastructure we don't run. At our scale, the most credible thing we can say is what we actually do.

How We Work
Where you'd sit and how we'd work together.
Three concentric rings. Each has its own policy, its own listing language, and its own evaluation path. Every Maaya job posting opens with a single line that tells you which ring it sits in.
Ring 1
Namakkal on-site
~70% of roles
4 days in office, 1 flexible. Commute expectation: in the Namakkal office within 45 minutes, or willing to relocate to Namakkal / Salem / Erode / Tiruchengode / Rasipuram / Karur.
Ring 2
Tamil Nadu hybrid
~20% of roles
2–3 days in the Namakkal office per month. Open to candidates based in Namakkal, Salem, Erode, Coimbatore, Madurai, Tiruchi, Chennai, Tirunelveli, Vellore, Karur.
Ring 3
Pan-India remote
~10% of roles, capped
Reserved. Quarterly Namakkal visits required. Open to exceptional candidates anywhere in India where the role does not require in-person collaboration.
We are deliberately concentrated in Tamil Nadu, with our active operations branch in Namakkal and our registered headquarters in Chennai. That is an operating choice, not a limitation. Namakkal sits in the industrial belt we serve — poultry, feed, textile, small manufacturing — and being close to our customers makes our software better. Chennai keeps us close to finance, legal, and enterprise customers. For the right person and the right role, we make pan-India remote work — quietly, exceptionally, and with clarity about what it costs all of us to make it work.
Sustainability
Sustainability at our scale.
We do not pretend to be running sustainability-at-scale programs we do not run. Here is what is real today:
- Cloud hosting on AWS with workloads running primarily in AWS Mumbai.
- Customer proposals are PDF-first; we do not print physical marketing collateral at scale.
- Travel policy favors virtual customer engagement for first-touch; on-site only when the work requires it.
- Employee commute: subsidized parking for bikes and EVs at Namakkal; shuttle pilot for long-distance commuters.
When the truth at our scale is modest, the brand rule is to state it modestly. We will update this section when more is true.
