SakRobotix Lab Pvt
Ltd, based in Bhubaneswar, and Ahmedabad-based Gridbots Technologies Pvt Ltd
have joined hands to accelerate the adoption of robotics-based cleaning and
inspection solutions across India's government and private-sector
infrastructure, with a target of generating ₹100 crore in annual revenue.
The collaboration
will focus on deploying robotic solutions for sewer cleaning, drainage
maintenance, water pipeline inspection, water tank cleaning and inspection, and
specialised cleaning and inspection of industrial facilities and critical
infrastructure. The companies also plan to explore robotic applications in
challenging environments, including dams and rivers.
"Our
collaboration with Gridbots aims to scale Robotics-as-a-Service across India,
targeting ₹100
crore in annual revenue through robotic cleaning and inspection solutions for
government and private-sector customers," SakRobotix Lab Managing Director
Sakyasingha Mahapatra said.
Under the
Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model, the companies aim to cater to municipal
corporations, government departments, public sector undertakings, industrial
townships, infrastructure operators and private enterprises across the country.
Gridbots Chief
Technology Officer Pulkit Gour said the partnership would facilitate the
deployment of indigenous robotic technologies for sewer cleaning, pipeline
inspection and industrial applications, making infrastructure maintenance safer
and more efficient.
The collaboration
will combine robotics technology, engineering expertise, system integration and
market access to develop scalable solutions aimed at improving operational
efficiency, enhancing worker safety and reducing human exposure to hazardous
cleaning environments.
The proposed ₹100 crore annual
revenue target reflects the companies' ambition to build a nationwide robotics
services business to address India's infrastructure maintenance requirements.
The initiative is also expected to support wider adoption of advanced robotics,
strengthen the domestic technology ecosystem and create opportunities for
skilled employment.
Founded in 2012, SakRobotix Lab is headquartered in Bhubaneswar and works in robotics education, research and technology solutions, with a focus on promoting robotics and emerging technologies across India.
Gridbots Technologies, established in 2007 and headquartered in Ahmedabad, develops indigenous robotics and automation technologies for defence, industrial and specialised applications.
