Founded in 2020 by Ishan Bhatnagar and Gulshan Kumar, Octobotics builds AI-enabled NDT robotic platforms such as rail inspection systems, automated weld inspection units, and specialised tools for elevated or confined zones. These systems automate manual inspection tasks and translate the resulting data into actionable insights for operators in asset-intensive sectors including oil and gas, chemicals, power, marine, and railways. The company’s technology is already used by the Indian Navy, Indian Oil Corporation, BPCL, HPCL, Aarti Industries, GSFC, and Saudi S-Chem. Octobotics reported Rs 2 crore in revenue in the last fiscal year. With fresh capital, it plans to accelerate product development, enhance field validation, pursue key certifications, and expand operations across India, Singapore, and the Middle East. The startup ultimately aims to support broader international deployment of its AI-driven inspection solutions.
