Chennai-based startup Vividobots raises Rs 1.47 crore to develop high-precision robotic solutions

Chennai-based robotic automation startup Vividobots has raised Rs 1.47 crore in a Seed funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures, a Gurugram-based angel investment firm. The startup will use the raised capital to enhance product innovation and expand vertical-specific robotic deployments.

Founded in 2021 by postgraduate engineers Dhinesh B (CEO), Velmurugan B (CPO), and Kesavaraj S (CTO), Vividobots was born out of a tragic incident involving a painter's fall. The moment of vulnerability inspired the trio to develop a solution with real-world impact.

With professional backgrounds at Flipkart, the Air Defence Agency, and TCS, respectively, the founders bring deep domain and technical expertise to the problem they set out to solve.

What does Vividobots do?

Vividobots said it is on a mission to make high-rise building maintenance safer, faster, and more efficient. By leveraging AI-powered robotics, the startup is revolutionizing exterior painting and cleaning operations an area historically reliant on manual labor and prone to fatal risks.

The Chennai-based startup claims that its solutions significantly reduce time, cost, and material wastage while improving safety and precision.

 “At Vividobots, we are revolutionising the way robotics addresses real-world challenges. Inspired by the delicate balance of human effort and resilience, we are steadfast in our mission to build a future defined by safety, speed, and sustainability. Our partnership with IPV fuels our drive to innovate boldly, push boundaries, and redefine the possibilities of robotics and its impact on society," said Dhinesh B.

Focused on expanding presence

Vividobots, which is currently operational in Chennai, plans to scale into new metros where real estate growth and vertical maintenance are surging. The startup's robotic systems deliver up to 70% time savings, 50% cost reduction, and 15% lower material wastage, setting a new benchmark in high-rise operations. Its proprietary technology ensures AI-powered precision, safety, and repeatability, making exterior maintenance predictable and scalable.

"As real estate in India continues to boom, high-rise buildings are becoming increasingly common and so are the challenges that come with maintaining them. Vividobots is tackling this head-on with innovative robotic solutions that make exterior maintenance of the building safer and more efficient. At IPV, we’re excited to support a startup that’s not just keeping pace with urban growth, but shaping its future through technology," said Vikram Ramasubramanian, Partner & CIO, Inflection Point Ventures, which has backed over 210 startups.

The Indian market for painting and cleaning services is estimated at $4.46 billion Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM), with a total addressable market (TAM) of $178.7 billion. Globally, the SOM is $45 billion, with a projected TAM of $1.56 trillion.
