Whatfix is a global Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company specializing in Digital Adoption Platforms (DAP). Founded in 2014 by Khadim Batti and Vara Kumar, the company is dually headquartered in Bengaluru, India, and San Jose, California. It originated from a platform called SearchEnabler before pivoting to focus on solving the increasing complexity of enterprise software. Whatfix’s core mission is to "userize" technology, making applications adapt to the user rather than forcing users to struggle with complex interfaces. The company’s flagship Digital Adoption Platform acts as an interactive overlay on top of existing web, desktop, and mobile applications. It provides real-time, contextual guidance through in-app flows, task lists, smart tips, and pop-ups. By offering "just-in-time" support, Whatfix helps organizations accelerate digital transformation, reduce training overhead, and minimize support tickets. Beyond its primary DAP, the product suite includes Whatfix Mirror, which creates sandbox replicas of applications for risk-free training, and Whatfix Product Analytics, which allows managers to track user behavior and identify friction points within software workflows. Whatfix has integrated advanced AI and GenAI capabilities across its stack. Its proprietary ScreenSense technology enables the platform to understand application context like a human, while newer innovations like Whatfix Studio use Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate the creation of walkthroughs. In 2025, the company introduced the Enterprise AI Navigator, a GPT-integrated assistant designed for cross-application task automation. Financially, Whatfix has seen rapid scaling, surpassing $100 million in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) by 2024. The company has raised over $260 million in total funding from prominent investors, including SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Warburg Pincus, Sequoia Capital, and Helion Ventures. Its most recent Series E round in September 2024 raised $125 million, significantly increasing its valuation. The company also prioritizes its workforce, having implemented multi-million dollar ESOP buybacks and liquidity events for employees. Whatfix serves over 1,000 enterprise customers globally, including more than 80 Fortune 500 companies such as Shell. Its solutions are utilized across diverse industries, including banking, healthcare, insurance, and manufacturing, to support major software rollouts like ERP, CRM, and HCM systems. With seven global offices in the US, India, UK, Germany, Singapore, and Australia, Whatfix employs approximately 900 people. It is recognized as a market leader by analysts like G2 and holds various security certifications, including SOC 2 and ISO 27001, ensuring it meets the rigorous compliance standards of its large-scale enterprise clients. Under the leadership of CEO Khadim Batti, Whatfix continues to drive innovation in the DAP category, aiming for autonomous digital adoption and eventual IPO readiness.
