Junior career

Maini received his first go-kart, an 80cc Comer Kart, at the age of 5. At the young age of 8, Maini won his first two championships, the MRF Mini Max Championship in both the Rotax class and the 4-stroke Cadet class in his first year of racing. After his first titles, Maini raced on foreign soil for the first time in the Asia Max championship, which led to immediate success.{{Cite web|url=http://www.arjunmaini36.com/aboutus.html|title=Arjun Maini|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170823165233/http://www.arjunmaini36.com/aboutus.html|archive-date=2017-08-23|url-status=dead}} In 2008, Maini became the youngest Indian to win a kart race abroad by winning the Malaysian Royal Kelatan Kart Prix held in 2008.
Maini was the youngest driver to take part in the J.K. Tyre Rotax Max Junior Max National championship at the age of 11. He was selected by the Red Rooster Racing Team in 2009. He then took part in the Rotax Max Challenge India - Junior in 2010 and finished in 2nd place, with the highest number of fastest laps.{{Cite web|url=https://www.driverdb.com/championships/standings/rotax-max-challenge-india---junior/2010/|title=Rotax Max Challenge India - Junior 2010 standings {{!}} Driver Database|website=www.driverdb.com|access-date=2016-10-14}} Maini's major breakthrough came in 2011 where he won the J.K.Tyre Rotax Max National Karting Championship title in the Junior Max category and followed this up by becoming the Sahara Force India team's One from a Billion winner. He was also the winner of AKOC race in Macau as well as the Ask KF3 Race in Elite, Malaysia. He finished second overall in the AKS Malaysian Championship 2011.

He also finished 4th overall in Race 2 of the Pau Grand Prix. However, a learning year in the FIA European Formula 3 series meant he could only manage 18th overall and 9th in the rookie class. Maini did manage to end the season on a high, finishing 10th at the Macau Grand Prix.{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/arjun-maini-on-track-to-formula-one/article7291754.ece|title=On track to Formula One|last=Achal|first=Ashwin|date=2015-06-07|newspaper=The Hindu|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X|access-date=2016-10-03}}

Maini signed for Trident Racing in the 2018 FIA Formula 2 Championship, partnering with fellow Haas F1 Team development driver Santino Ferrucci.
While driving in a race at Circuit Paul Ricard, Maini said over the radio that the car lacked power and tearfully claimed people didn't believe him and didn't support him, and that Formula 2 was not providing good equipment.[https://us.motorsport.com/fia-f2/news/maini-killing-our-careers-new-car-issues-1047413/3128422/ "Maini: F2 "killing our careers" with new car issues"], Motorsport.com[https://www.foxsports.com.au/news/f2-france-haas-f1-junior-driver-arjun-maini-delivers-foulmouthed-tirade-on-team-radio/news-story/43d7612704b41a330031c26d3179c3c9 "F2 France: Haas F1 junior driver Arjun Maini delivers foul-mouthed tirade on team radio"], Fox Sports Australia The Trident team analyzed data and agreed and approached F2, and Maini was given a new engine shortly after.[https://www.autosport.com/formula2/news/haas-f1-junior-arjun-maini-gets-new-engine-from-formula-2-5296882/5296882/ "Haas F1 junior Arjun Maini gets new engine from Formula 2"], Autosport.com
Later that season, teammate Ferrucci ran Maini off the track in a race at Silverstone Circuit and then crashed into the back of Maini's car later in the same race after the checkered flag had been waved, both of which were found to be deliberate actions, and Trident apologized to Maini.{{cite web | url=https://www.racefans.net/2018/07/08/trident-apologises-to-maini-after-ferrucci-is-banned-for-collision/ | title=Trident apologises to Maini after team mate Ferrucci receives four-race ban | date=8 July 2018 }} Ferrucci also "appeared to mock" Maini on Twitter over Maini's rant about the car's power.[https://www.racefans.net/2018/07/08/trident-apologises-to-maini-after-ferrucci-is-banned-for-collision/ "Trident apologises to Maini after team mate Ferrucci receives four-race ban"]
Ferrucci was banned for several races and was fired by Trident shortly thereafter, due to these incidents and others.[https://www.thedrive.com/accelerator/22242/trident-f2-shows-santino-ferrucci-the-door-for-ramming-teammate "Trident F2 Shows Santino Ferrucci the Door for Ramming Teammate"], The Drive[https://www.autosport.com/formula2/news/trident-f2-team-ready-to-take-action-against-dropped-ferrucci-5290384/5290384 "Trident F2 team ready to take action against dropped Ferrucci", Autosport]
