“While ARAPL RaaS defined our offerings, Humro captures our mission—a world where humans and robots work in seamless harmony. It’s a name that’s short, purposeful, and globally resonant, grounded in India’s spirit of resilience and collaboration, yet built to lead with innovation on the world stage.” Milind Padole, Founder & Managing Director, Humro
“Humro is more than a name—it’s a conviction that the future of work lies in human-robot collaboration. Our autonomous mobile robots are built to take on the heavy, repetitive tasks—like truck loading and unloading, pallet transfers, case picking, and line stocking—so that people can focus on what truly drives value.” Robinson Philipose, Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Humro
ARAPL RaaS Pvt. Ltd., a subsidiary of Affordable Robotic and Automation Limited (ARAPL) (BSE: 541402), and leader in autonomous material handling and robotics solutions, is proud to announce that it will henceforth operate under the brand name Humro.
Humro—a blend of Human + Robot—embodies the company’s philosophy: robots should serve people, not replace them. By automating repetitive and labour-intensive tasks, Humro’s solutions empower the human workforce to channel their creativity, judgment, and empathy into more meaningful work.
“We didn’t build robots to outdo humans—we built them to help humans to be more productive,” said Milind Padole, Founder & Managing Director of Humro. “Our rebrand is about reflecting not just what we offer, but why it matters. While ARAPL RaaS defined our offerings, Humro captures our mission—a world where humans and robots work in seamless harmony. It’s a name that’s short, purposeful, and globally resonant, grounded in India’s spirit of resilience and collaboration, yet built to lead with innovation on the world stage.”
“Humro is more than a name—it’s a conviction that the future of work lies in human-robot collaboration,” said Robinson Philipose, Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Humro. “Our autonomous mobile robots are built to take on the heavy, repetitive tasks—like truck loading and unloading, pallet transfers, case picking, and line stocking—so that people can focus on what truly drives value. In a world where industrial shippers face high labor churn and the complexities of ongoing IT overhauls, Humro offers a different path. Our plug-and-play Robotics-as-a-Service model removes the traditional roadblocks to automation—no CAPEX, no IT disruption—making adoption faster, smarter, and accessible for businesses ready to scale.”
Continuity with the Change: It’s business as usual under the brand Humro. The company continues to be led by the same world-class leadership team, including Milind Padole and Robinson Philipose, and remains backed by unmatched deep-tech expertise and proprietary robotics platforms. With over 7,500 robots deployed across diverse sectors, Humro stays firmly committed to its mission: to democratize automation and deliver human-centric, globally competitive robotic solutions—designed and made in India for the world. The company will begin rolling out the new branding across platforms and touchpoints over the coming months.
