Robotics startup ANSCER Robotics has raised Rs 45 crore in a funding round led by IAN Group via its IAN Alpha Fund. The round also saw participation from Info Edge and angel investors. The startup said it will use the raised capital for the next phase of growth across product innovation, US expansion, strategic partnerships, and partner-led deployment across factories and warehouses.

ANSCER has a manufacturing facility in Bengaluru capable of producing more than 1,000 robots annually. The facility also includes a dedicated 20,000 sq. ft. testing area, where each robot undergoes rigorous performance, endurance, and application testing before deployment.

Ribin Mathew, Founder & CEO, ANSCER Robotics, said, “The first era of automation was about machines following instructions. The next era will be about machines understanding context, learning from operations, and working alongside enterprise intelligence. ANSCER is building that future through a robotics platform developed in India, designed for global standards, and ready for the AI-native factory.”

Rajnish Kapur, Managing Partner, IAN Alpha Fund, said, “We believe that industrial automation technology has reached a critical point globally. Today, companies view automation as a key resource for resilience, intelligence, and competitive advantage, not just efficiency. It was the team's vision for the development not only of robotic hardware but also of an intelligent, interoperable automation solution that could evolve with the adoption of enterprise artificial intelligence that impressed us the most. Their approach of integrating robots, orchestration software, fleet intelligence, and AI-native infrastructure places them well in an industry expected to experience rapid growth globally in the coming years.”
