The round was led by early-stage investor 8X Ventures, with participation from Turbostart, Avinya Ventures, Saka Ventures, Appreciate Capital, Astir Ventures, the Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad’s Centre for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship, the Small Industries Development Bank of India, and individual investor Heston Castelino.

Founded in 2023, Neuralzome is developing teachable, no-code artificial intelligence agents that can control robots in real-world settings without requiring specialist expertise. The startup is targeting a Robot-as-a-Service model in high-value, labor-intensive markets such as orchard management and commercial landscaping.

Its flagship platform, NeuralPilot, is integrated with a simulation environment called RedPill, which produces photorealistic digital twins to train robots in complex scenarios. The startup said the approach shortens on-field training and reduces costs, addressing one of the main barriers to deploying robots at scale.

“We are developing technologies that break the critical barriers preventing the adoption of robots in real-world applications,” said Mohan Sivam, co-founder of Neuralzome

The fresh capital will be directed toward advancing research in multi-agent autonomy and vision-based navigation, ramping up manufacturing, and building operations in North America and Europe.
