Funding Secured
The company has secured over $3 million in funding to drive its AI and robotics innovation.
30 Under 30
Forbes Recognition
The founders were recognized on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list for their contributions to AI robotics.
Founded in Kerala in 2017, the company solves social challenges using robotics and AI.
Their debut robot, Bandicoot, became the first robotic manhole cleaner, deployed in over 18 Indian states and ASEAN countries.
Bandicoot’s success transformed sanitation workers into robot operators, eliminating manual scavenging in confined, dangerous spaces.
Expanded product lines include Bandicoot Mini, Mobility +, Wilboar for tank cleaning, and G‑Beetle for skyscraper facades.
Opened a private industrial park at ICET in May 2024 to advance humanoid and semi‑humanoid robotics research.
Their gait‑training robot, G‑Gaiter, won top AI awards and is rolling out in hospitals across India.
