Indian startup iHub Robotics has secured Rs 4.3 crore ($520,000) in pre-seed funding from U.S. investors to advance its humanoid robotics technology.
The funds will be used to establish India’s largest humanoid robotics manufacturing facility in Kerala. The expansion is expected to create over 150 jobs in the next two years, contributing to the country’s deep-tech ecosystem.
iHub Robotics has already gained international recognition by exporting its semi-humanoid robot, Tara Gen-1, to the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Designed for sectors like hospitality, healthcare, transportation hubs, and customer service, Tara Gen-1 enhances operational efficiency with AI-powered automation.
Equipped with emotion recognition, AI-driven natural conversations, and real-time decision-making, the robot adapts to diverse environments. It can assist with navigation, customer inquiries, and personalized services, seamlessly functioning in multi-language settings.
In January 2025, iHub Robotics was recognized by NVIDIA and selected for the NVIDIA Humanoid Robotics Program, gaining access to cutting-edge AI technologies, research collaborations, and a global network.
Beyond robotics development, the company has launched the iHub School of Learning, an initiative aimed at training 100,000 students in deep-tech skills, preparing them for careers in AI and automation.
CEO Athil Krishna described the funding as a pivotal step toward advancing “Physical AI,” where intelligent robots integrate seamlessly into industries, enhancing human capabilities.
