Mahiti Infotech

What Mahiti Infotech does

Mahiti Infotech Private Limited is a Bangalore-headquartered, for-profit social enterprise founded in 2000 that designs and delivers technology solutions for civil society organisations (CSOs), government agencies, and international development organisations. The company builds custom Management Information Systems, IVRS/SMS platforms, mobile applications, GIS tools, and Content Management Systems tailored to social programmes spanning agriculture, education, health, disability, HIV/AIDS, and civil society support. Signature offerings include aKasmika (a GIS-enabled MIS aggregating data from household to national levels for project evaluation), OurCrop (agricultural data management for farmer cooperatives), OurBank (microfinance portfolio management with configurable loan products and approval workflows), Magic Slate (a tablet-based ICT training programme for grassroots women leaders), and Indian-language enhancements to the open-source eSpeak text-to-speech engine across Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Malayalam, Assamese, Manipuri, Odiya, and Sindhi. The company also operates a sister commercial brand, ProductBakers.com, that delivers eCommerce portals to private-sector clients including Cafe Coffee Day and Wrogn.

Mahiti's commercial model centres on a project-to-partnership engagement: fixed-scope technology projects evolve into sustained relationships accompanied by capacity building and, in select cases, embedded CTO engagements (notably with Trilochan Netralaya since 2015). Revenue is derived from custom solution development, system maintenance, technology consulting, and partner-channel services. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, reaching buyers across CSOs, social innovators, change-makers, governments, and international development agencies in eight-plus countries including India, Bangladesh, Kenya, Tanzania, Tajikistan, Mongolia, Myanmar, and Laos. Notable delivery credentials include a 250,000-respondent behavioural surveillance survey for India's National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO), a National Disaster Management System for the Bangladesh Department of Disaster Management, MIS software monitoring 35,000 government schools for Akshara Foundation, and a fundraising platform under India Cares Foundation that has helped 900+ CSOs raise roughly INR 30 crore (about USD 5 million) since 2008.

The company is founder-owned and bootstrapped, with no external institutional investment rounds identified in available sources. Headcount remains in the 51-100 range out of a single Bangalore headquarters, with leadership comprising co-founder and CEO Sreekanth Rameshaiah (Sreekanth S) and director Sunil Abraham, alongside a CTO (Vijay Rasquinha) and heads of design, development, and communications. In December 2025 the company launched YuvaBharti.ai to train rural young women in Madhya Pradesh on open-source AI tools, marking its first explicit AI capability initiative.

• NetHope: Global consortium of humanitarian and development NGOs working on shared technology solutions. Comparable on the demand side — Mahiti's CSO/INGO customers often overlap with NetHope's member base.

Others

• DataKind: Global nonprofit that mobilizes data science talent for humanitarian and development organizations. Comparable on the demand side (CSO/INGO customers) and thematic focus on data for social impact, though services-focused rather than software-product focused.

Broad incumbents
