Coratia Technologies

What Coratia Technologies does

Coratia Technologies Pvt. Ltd. is an Indian underwater robotics company founded in 2021 by Debendra Pradhan and Biswajit Swain, headquartered and incubated at the Foundation for Technology and Business Incubation (FTBI) at NIT Rourkela, Odisha. The company designs and manufactures Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) for underwater inspection, maintenance, survey, and search operations. Its product portfolio includes four platforms: ROV Jaladuta (150m depth, ship hull cleaning and minor salvage), ROV Jalasimha (300m depth with TRL-9 certification, stereovision 4K, integrated NDT, and dexterous robotic arm for advanced inspection), ROV Oceanaus (150m depth, Full HD precision inspection), and ASV Navya (autonomous surface vehicle for hydrographic surveys and environmental monitoring). Core technology integrates multibeam sonar, GPS, USBL, and DVL navigation, stereovision imaging, and AI-based defect identification for non-destructive testing workflows.

The company operates a B2B and B2G go-to-market motion targeting defense organizations (Indian Navy), infrastructure owners (dam authorities, port authorities, bridge owners), industrial enterprises (steel, aluminum, oil and gas, mining), and engineering consultants. Revenue is generated through three streams: professional services for underwater inspection and bathymetric surveys, hardware sales of ROV and ASV platforms and custom-engineered robotic systems, and large-scale defense procurement contracts — most notably a Rs 66-crore Indian Navy contract signed in September 2025 for indigenously developed UWROVs (Jalasimha and Jaladuta). Pricing is quote-based, undisclosed publicly, and structured around multi-year enterprise and government contracts.

Coratia has raised approximately Rs 22.4 crore (~USD 2.74 million) across a Rs 17.4 crore Pre-Series A round led by MGF Kavachh (with Pontaq Ventures India participation) and a Rs 5 crore angel round led by Piper Serica Angel Fund in November 2025. The company has accumulated recognition across MeitY, DST, Ministry of Defence (iDEX-DISC-7 winner), NASSCOM Emerge 50, Boeing BUILD 3.0, and Shark Tank India Season 3, and was felicitated by Union Minister Shri Dharmendra Pradhan. Headcount is in the 11-50 range, and the company is now expanding into Southeast Asia and the Middle East while building regional sales coverage across South and West India.
