What Celoxis Technologies Pvt. Ltd. does

Celoxis Technologies Pvt. Ltd. is a Pune, India-based, bootstrapped software company founded in 2001 by Nikhil Daddikar and Ravindra Wankar, both of whom remain actively involved in product development and customer engagement. The company builds an AI-powered Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) platform, branded simply as Celoxis, which combines resource management, financial tracking, portfolio monitoring, scheduling, Gantt charts, risk management, time tracking, kanban views, issue tracking, and client portals into a single integrated suite. The platform is differentiated by its proprietary LEX AI Engine (launched 2016), which enables natural language interaction with project data, predictive risk detection, intelligent resource allocation, and adaptive forecasting, and is delivered on top of Microsoft Azure AI Services. Celoxis is available in both cloud SaaS and on-premise perpetual deployment modes, with dual data centers in the US and EU, and integrates natively with JIRA, Azure DevOps, and over 400 business applications via a public API.

The company serves a global customer base of 2,800+ organizations, with prominent enterprise logos including NASA, Tesla, Rolex, Lufthansa, HBO, KPMG, Adobe, Whirlpool, LG, Harman, SingPost, and Pitney Bowes. Celoxis monetizes through four revenue streams: SaaS subscriptions (annual/multi-year, recurring), on-premise perpetual licenses with optional Annual Maintenance Contracts, professional services for implementation and training, and channel partner referral/conversion commissions. Go-to-market is sales-led for enterprise PMOs, combined with self-serve 14-day free trials for SMBs, a structured reseller program, and an affiliate program. In 2021, the company extended its product portfolio with Tuskr, a separate cloud-based test management software. The company has consistently ranked as a top PPM tool on G2, Capterra, GetApp, SoftwareAdvice, TrustRadius, Trustpilot, and has been recognized by Gartner.
