From a Delhi Attic to 20,000 Sq Ft in Mysore

Life at Infomaze

The company started in a small room — two people, one idea, and the conviction that software built for the web would change everything. Twenty-three years later, Infomaze operates from one of the most distinctive workspaces in Mysore's IT district. But the building is not the story. The people are.

"The first office was a room in a Delhi attic. Two of us. One computer each. And more ambition than space."
— Vikash, Founder & CEO · 2002

Infomaze didn't begin in a glass-walled office with a receptionist and a foosball table. It began where most real things begin — in a small, unimpressive room, with a founder who had more conviction than resources. Vikash Padhya, a commerce graduate who had taught himself to code, launched Infomaze in Delhi in 2002 from exactly that kind of space.

The clients were international. The ambitions were large. The workspace was not. But the work — cloud CRM for US companies before SaaS was a phrase anyone used — was extraordinary for its time. And that work built a reputation.

In 2006, Vikash made the decision that defined everything that came after: move to Mysore. Not to save money. To build something properly. The same logic that led Infosys to put its training campus there — room to grow, on your own terms, in a city that rewards focus.


— The Journey

How 23 years of growth looks in square feet

Space is a proxy for everything else — team size, ambition, confidence in the future. This is what that trajectory looked like.

2002 — Delhi
One room. An attic. Two people.
Vikash and one team member. First client across time zones. First proof that this could work.
2006 — Mysore, Move 1
First proper office. Growing team.
Gajendra joins. N. Ganesh joins. Pankaj joins. The foundations of what Infomaze would become were all set in this period.
2010–2015 — Mysore, Expansion
PrintPlanr. More clients. More people.
The SaaS product era begins. Team grows steadily. Mysore proves to be exactly the right decision.
2018–2023 — The Current Campus
20,000 sq ft operational. 30,000 built.
Purpose-built workspace constructed over five to six years — designed from the start to be something different from the standard IT office.
Today
100+ team. Ready to double.
The campus can accommodate double the current team without a single additional construction project. The expansion is already built in.

The building was designed with the next stage of growth already built in. Infomaze can double its team without a new office search, a disruptive move, or a temporary workspace. The infrastructure decision made years ago was a bet on the future — and the future arrived.

— The Workspace

No cubicles. No closed doors. No fixed seats.

When most software companies were still building offices around cubicles and closed-door departments, Infomaze chose differently. The workspace was designed to feel less like an IT firm and more like a place where people actually want to spend their day.

Open Workspace
Spread out. Work from wherever makes you productive.

The team isn't assigned to a fixed seat for life. Infomaze gives its people the freedom to work from whichever part of the campus suits the day — the open floor, a quiet corner, the lounge area, the outdoor space. The only requirement: let your team leader know where you're setting up.

It sounds like a small thing. It isn't. It's the difference between a company that trusts its people and one that monitors them. Infomaze has always believed in the former.

Green Space
Step outside. The campus extends beyond four walls.

The building is surrounded by open green space that is genuinely available to the team — not a decorative courtyard that nobody uses. People take calls outside. Teams have conversations on the lawn. Breaks actually happen outdoors.

Being in Mysore — in the IT district that has grown around the city — gives the campus room that a comparable office in Bengaluru or Delhi simply couldn't offer. That was the deliberate choice.

Recreation
The games area exists. People use it.

A dedicated games area isn't a recruitment gimmick if people actually use it. At Infomaze, they do. The workspace was designed to give the team genuine spaces for genuine breaks — not a token ping pong table in a corner next to the printer.

A team that can step away, decompress, and come back energised produces better work than a team that's trapped at a desk for eight hours. That's not a philosophy. It's observable.

— Culture

We celebrate everything worth celebrating.

Infomaze isn't a company that sends a cake on your birthday and calls it culture. Festivals, sports events, team milestones, national holidays — if there's a reason to mark the moment together, we do.

🪔
Festivals
Diwali, Holi, Eid, Christmas, Ugadi — the team celebrates the full calendar of Indian festivals. Not as a corporate exercise. As a genuine coming-together of people from different backgrounds who have built something together.
🏏
Sports Events
IPL season, World Cup matches, major sporting events — the office comes alive. Screens go up. Teams are picked. The collective investment in the game is real. It's one of the things that makes the Infomaze floor genuinely different from a generic IT office.
🎂
Birthdays & Milestones
Every birthday is marked. Work anniversaries — especially the long ones — are acknowledged properly. When someone completes five years, ten years, fifteen years at Infomaze, that's a significant thing. It's treated as one.
🏆
Team Achievements
When a major project ships. When a client writes in with genuine praise. When a team member grows into a new role. These moments get marked — because they matter, and because the people behind them should know they're seen.
🎉
Company Milestones
23 years is a long time to still be growing. Company anniversaries, product launches, new market entries — the team that builds these things deserves to celebrate them. Infomaze does that together.
🌟
Just Because
A good week. A team that hit something hard. A Friday that deserves a better end than the bus home. Culture isn't only the formal calendar. It's also the spontaneous moments that happen when people genuinely like where they work.
— The People

The company grew them. They grew the company.

What makes Infomaze unusual isn't the workspace or the festivals. It's the tenure. People join and stay — not because they're locked in, but because they're growing. Almost every leader here started somewhere unexpected.

📈
Growth from within
Our CTO joined as a developer. Our product lead came from marketing. Our DevOps manager had no IT background. Our senior admin started as an office assistant. We grow people into the roles they're capable of.
🤝
Trust-based working
The team can work from wherever suits them in the campus — no fixed-seat mandate, no micromanagement. We trust adults to be adults. That trust is returned with commitment.
🌍
Real global work
The work is genuinely international — clients across 15+ countries, time zones from Australia to California. Infomaze people develop the communication skills and perspective that comes from real cross-cultural collaboration.
🏛️
Stability that's rare
23 years. No layoffs. No pivots that left teams stranded. The kind of stability that's increasingly rare in the technology industry — and that means something to people building a career.

— Location

Mysore. The right choice in 2006. An even better one today.

Mysore's IT district has grown significantly since Vikash made the move. Infomaze is positioned within it — which gives the team access to a growing tech community, without the noise, cost, and commute of Bengaluru.

🏙️
Mysore IT District
Located in the heart of Mysore's growing IT corridor — good infrastructure, expanding tech ecosystem, strong talent pipeline from local engineering colleges.
🌇
Quality of Life
Mysore consistently ranks among India's most liveable cities — lower cost of living, shorter commutes, cleaner air, and a pace that doesn't grind people down after two years.
🏗️
Built on Owned Land
Infomaze built its campus on its own terms — not a rented floor in an IT park. The stability of that decision means the workspace is permanent, expandable, and designed without compromise.

Infomaze is hiring across engineering, Zoho implementation, AI, and product. If you want to work on genuinely interesting problems — with a team that will still be here in another 23 years — we'd like to hear from you.
