“Industrial automation is entering a new era where machines are moving beyond following instructions toward understanding context, learning from operations, and working alongside enterprise intelligence. This investment marks a significant milestone for ANSCER as we scale our India-built AI-native automation platform globally. Our goal is to make advanced automation more accessible, scalable, and impactful for industries worldwide while building next-generation systems for increasingly connected and intelligent industrial environments.” Ribin Mathew, CEO, ANSCER Robotics
“Industrial automation is rapidly evolving from a focus on efficiency to becoming a strategic driver of resilience, intelligence, and competitiveness for global enterprises. What stood out to us was ANSCER’s ability to combine industrial-grade robotics with intelligent software and scalable deployment capabilities for real-world manufacturing and warehouse environments. We believe the company is well-positioned to address the growing global demand for next-generation automation solutions.” Rajnish Kapur, Managing Partner, IAN Alpha Fund
ANSCER Robotics, an industrial robotics company building AI native automation platforms for factories and warehouses, has raised US$5.4 million (₹45 crore) in a Series A funding round led by IAN Alpha Fund, with participation from Info Edge and Other angel investors. The fresh capital will be used to strengthen its product platform, scale US operations, and expand its partner ecosystem across global markets.
Founded in 2020 by Ribin Mathew (CEO), Ebin Sunny (COO), Raghu V (CBO), and Raj Mohan (CTO), ANSCER Robotics helps factories and warehouses automate the movement of goods using autonomous robots and intelligent software systems. Built in India and engineered to global safety standards, the company is developing robots for demanding real-world manufacturing and warehouse environments, designed to operate safely alongside people, forklifts, production lines, and high-throughput industrial processes.
As industries globally continue to face labour shortages, operational inefficiencies, and increasing pressure for faster and more resilient supply chains, nearly 80% of warehouses still operate with little to no automation, according to McKinsey & Company. Addressing this gap, the company is building connected automation systems that help manufacturers and warehouses reduce manual dependency, improve productivity, and streamline operations at scale. The company also plans to accelerate the development of next-generation automation systems for increasingly intelligent and connected industrial environments.

Recently, the company inaugurated its Bangalore manufacturing facility, which includes a 20,000 square foot testing zone where every robot undergoes rigorous performance, endurance, and real-world application testing before deployment. The facility has the capacity to manufacture more than 1,000 robots annually, supporting ANSCER’s India-built global automation platform and growing partner-led deployments across factories and warehouses. ANSCER Robotics currently operates from its headquarters in Bangalore and maintains a sales and support office in Dallas, Texas, supporting customers and partners across the United States, Europe, and Asia Pacific.

ANSCER Robotics plans to further strengthen its global presence while building next generation automation systems for increasingly connected and intelligent industrial environments.
