Founded in 2015 by Sneh Vaswani, Prashant Iyengar, and Chintan Raikar, Miko develops conversational learning robots such as Miko 3 and the smaller Miko Mini for children aged 5-12. The devices blend artificial intelligence, robotics, and IoT to deliver interactive, personalised educational experiences. Its product suite also includes Miko Chess Grand, the subscription-based content service Miko Max, and the secure family video-calling feature Mikonnect. The company claims to have a presence in more than 140 countries across the US, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. A newly announced partnership with iHeartMedia will embed iHeart’s audio content into Miko’s ecosystem, broadening educational and entertainment options. Miko is also expanding offline distribution and recently entered Costco’s North American retail network. The latest funding round positions the company to accelerate both content partnerships and global retail expansion.
