Exclusive: Anscer Robotics Bags ₹45 Cr To Automate Industrial Operations

Industrial robotics startup Anscer Robotics has raised ₹45 Cr (about $4.6 Mn) in its Series A round led by IAN Alpha Fund. The round also saw participation from existing investor Info Edge Ventures and angel investors.

According to the startup’s MCA filings accessed by Inc42, its shareholders approved the issuance of 4,861 Series A CCPS of face value ₹100 each at a premium of ₹83,255 per share to IE Venture Investment Fund II, IAN Alpha Trust, RRM Management LLP, and Intergalactico Partners.

With the latest round, Anscer Robotics’ total funding has crossed $7 Mn to date, including its $2 Mn seed round in 2025.

In a statement, the startup told Inc42 it plans to use the fresh capital to advance its product platform, scale US market operations, expand global partner network, and deepen international footprint.

Founded in 2020 by Ribin Mathew, Ebin Sunny, Raghu V, and Raj Mohan, Anscer Robotics builds autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), intelligent fleet management software, and industrial automation systems for factories and warehouses to help businesses automate goods movement. It provides AI-powered robots and software systems designed for high-volume industrial environments. 

Anscer Robotics is also developing an open robotics software layer based on model context protocol (MCP) principles, which helps AI models and software systems interact securely with robots and machines. It would allow enterprises to integrate their own AI agents and LLMs into robotic operations while keeping control of their internal data.

Recently, the startup inaugurated a manufacturing facility in Bengaluru featuring a 20,000 square feet testing zone. The facility can manufacture more than 1,000 robots annually.

Besides Bengaluru, Anscer Robotics also has a sales and support office in Texas, catering to customers and partners across the US, Europe, and Asia Pacific.

Anscer Robotics competes with the likes of Addverb, GreyOrange, Unbox Robotics, among others.

India’s Robotics Boom Picks Up Pace 

The funding comes at a time when India’s robotics and industrial automation ecosystem is approaching a pivotal growth phase. As ecommerce volumes continue to soar and warehousing operations grow more intricate, businesses are adopting automation to improve efficiency, streamline workflows, and reduce dependence on manual labour.

India’s industrial automation market size is projected to swell to $25.8 Bn by 2028. The country is the world’s sixth-largest market for annual industrial robot installations, with nearly 9,100 units deployed.

This momentum is fuelling a new wave of homegrown robotics startups building autonomous and AI-powered systems for labour-intensive workflows across industries. Investor interest has also picked up in the segment as they look to capitalise on the rapidly growing opportunity.

Earlier this month, Inc42 reported that robotics startup Alphadroid raised ₹36 Cr (around $3.8 Mn) in its pre-Series A round to expand its warehouse automation capabilities. Prior to that, General Autonomy bagged ₹32 Cr in its seed funding round to develop advanced AI-driven humanoid robots capable of navigation, manipulation, cleaning and tool handling, with the larger ambition of making robotics more scalable and accessible.

Warehouse automation startup Unbox Robotics also secured $28 Mn in its Series B round earlier this year to deepen its presence in India and overseas markets. The startup develops modular robotic systems aimed at automating warehouse operations.
