The HR technology space is a significant part of the human resource industry, especially during the pandemic. According to a report published by Grand View Research in February 2020, the human resource management market is anticipated to reach $38.17 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 11.7 percent from 2020 to 2027.


Hero Choudhary, Partner at BEENEXT, said that Mayank and Ajay have built a strong B2B SaaS business for underserved SMB segment.

“With Zimyo’s differentiated offering of financial benefits riding on core HR and payroll solutions, we believe SMB will be able to better serve their employees, resulting in a high NPS and low attrition. This is even more critical in new remote work environment post-COVID," he added.


Zimyo serves over 150 organisations across India, managing HR and payroll for over 32,000 employees. Post the fundraising, the startup is aiming to onboard over 200,000 employees. Earlier this year, the startup had raised an undisclosed amount of funding from Yatra Angel Network, and others.
