Abu Dhabi-based Agri-trade technology startup Maalexi has announced a strategic alliance with RXIL Global, an international trade finance platform in India. The Hub71 company’s partnership is set to improve access to trade finance solutions for Indian small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) exporters involved in cross-border agricultural transactions.
Quick Facts
- Maalexi is an Abu Dhabi-based Hub71 startup.
- Alliance with India’s regulated platform, RXIL Global.
- Focuses on financing for cross-border Agri-SMEs.
Connecting Physical Infrastructure to Digital Finance
The partnership combines two complementary platforms to address a critical gap in trade finance. Maalexi provides an integrated system for executing agricultural trades, which includes verifying suppliers and buyers, managing trade data, and coordinating logistics and warehousing. By operating its own physical infrastructure in the GCC, Europe, and India, the company creates structured, audit-ready trade records that build transparency in cross-border deals.
Under the new collaboration, qualified trade records generated on Maalexi’s platform can be presented for financing on RXIL Global. This allows participating financial institutions to independently evaluate inventory-backed transactions and receivables to assess financing opportunities, with all funding decisions remaining at their discretion.
Azzam Pasha, CEO of Maalexi Inc., explained the company’s core mission.
“Maalexi was founded on the conviction that agricultural SMEs deserve access to the same trade infrastructure and financing opportunities as large multinationals. This alliance with RXIL Global is a direct manifestation of that conviction. We have spent years building a physical footprint of warehouses, documented supply chains, and consolidated trade histories across the GCC, Europe, and India. Connecting this on-the-ground infrastructure with an institutional and regulated financing platform is the natural next step, and one we are taking with the regulatory discipline required to build long-term trust.”
Strengthening the UAE-India Trade Corridor
The collaboration aims to create a more efficient and transparent environment for agricultural trade between the two key markets. By linking verified transactions with a network of regulated finance providers, both companies aim to boost participation in global trade.
“This alliance brings together complementary capabilities that can enhance trade finance access for agricultural exporters,” said Ganesh Nalawade, CEO of RXIL Global. “By connecting documented trade transactions to a network of regulated financiers, we aim to support greater efficiency, transparency, and participation in cross-border trade.”
As a Hub71 startup, Maalexi’s expansion from Abu Dhabi highlights the growing influence of the emirate’s innovation ecosystem. The partnership demonstrates how local startups are developing solutions for real-world challenges in trade and supply chains while reinforcing commercial links between major markets like the UAE and India.
