Bengaluru-based Anscer Robotics raises $2 million in a seed round to drive global expansion

Anscer Robotics, a Bengaluru-based developer of intelligent autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), has raised $2 million in a seed funding round led by Info Edge Ventures.

The funding comes at a time when India’s deeptech ecosystem is gaining significant momentum, with increased investments and government initiatives aimed at fostering technological innovation.

Who are the founders?

Founded in 2020 by Ribin Mathew, Ebin Sunny, Raghu Venkatesh, and Raj Mohan, Anscer Robotics designs advanced robotic solutions for manufacturing and supply chains, helping enterprises streamline their operations with automation.

The startup said the latest investment will fuel its next phase of growth, supporting the establishment of a new manufacturing centre, the hiring of 50+ robotics experts, and the expansion of operations into the United States.

"This funding marks a pivotal moment for ANSCER Robotics as we scale our operations, enhance our technology, and expand our market presence," said Ribin Mathew, CEO of Anscer Robotics.

"With automation demand surging across industries, we remain committed to making robotics more accessible, intelligent, and seamlessly integrated into industrial ecosystems."

Anscer Robotics' growth

Anscer Robotics, which is also part of SanchiConnect’s DeepTech community, said it has witnessed rapid growth from an early-stage startup to a key player in industrial automation and robotics-driven logistics, driven by multiple strategic partnerships.

"Scaling a DeepTech startup in the robotics space comes with its own set of challenges, but having access to a strong ecosystem like SanchiConnect has made a significant difference. Being part of this community has provided us with valuable industry connections, technical collaborations, and insights that have shaped our approach to automation," said Raghu Venkatesh, Co-founder and Chief Business Officer of Anscer Robotics.

"Additionally, having SanchiConnect as our trusted strategic advisor has been instrumental in helping us navigate the investment landscape, secure strategic partnerships, and accelerate our growth. With this funding, we are excited to strengthen our presence in global markets and push the boundaries of autonomous robotics in industrial automation," Venkatesh added.

"Anscer Robotics is a great example of how DeepTech startups in India are redefining industrial automation. Supporting such high-impact startups with access to capital, strategic partnerships, and market expansion is critical to strengthening India's DeepTech landscape," said Dr. Sunil K Shekhawat, CEO of SanchiConnect.

Onboarding Mark Messina

As part of this expansion, Anscer Robotics has also onboarded Mark Messina, former Amazon/Kiva Robotics executive, as Managing Director & CEO of U.S. operations.

With decades of expertise in robotics and automation, Messina will lead the startup's mission to deliver advanced AMRs, AGVs, and intelligent automation solutions to businesses across the U.S.
