In a significant win for India’s deep-tech robotics ecosystem, Bengaluru-based Armatrix has secured $2.1 million in a seed funding round led by pi Ventures to accelerate its mission of building safer, smarter industrial inspections through innovative snake-like robotic arms. The funding round, announced on February 25, 2026, also saw participation from Inuka Capital, Boundless Ventures, Boost VC, Turbostart, and returning investor gradCapital . This capital infusion will enable the startup to complete development of its proprietary hyper-redundant, snake-like flexible robotic arm technology, expand its engineering and R&D team, and accelerate pilot deployments with industrial customers .

In a strong vote of confidence for India’s homegrown EV battery ecosystem, Coulomb Litech—a Mumbai-based battery technology startup founded by IIT Kanpur alumni—has raised ₹20 crore in a seed funding round to scale its manufacturing capabilities and expand its footprint in the commercial electric vehicle segment. The funding round, which attracted interest from high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) and reflects growing investor appetite for deep-tech solutions in India’s clean mobility transition, will be deployed to set up a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Navi Mumbai, accelerate research and development, and scale ongoing pilot programs across heavy EV applications .
