What Gridbots Technologies does

Gridbots Technologies is an Ahmedabad, India-based robotics company founded in 2007 by Pulkit Gaur that designs and manufactures indigenous robotic systems across three primary verticals: industrial automation, defense and homeland security, and space research. Its industrial portfolio includes autonomous mobile robots (SHUTTL, TROLLEYMATIK, LIFTMATIK, AUTO-TUG OD), high-speed delta and articulated manipulators (DELTA-2, PALLET-MATIK, DEXTER), and robotic work cells for welding, painting, blasting, packing, and trimming. Its defense portfolio spans counter-terror micro-robots (HUMMING BIRD), all-terrain UGVs (ZEUS, TITAN, BRUTE, HAWK), autonomous weapon stations (KATANA), panoramic situational awareness systems (EAGLE-EYE), and acoustic gunshot locators (BAT), supplied to the Indian Army, Navy, MHA, CAPFs, and state SWAT units. A separate machine vision line covers AI-based fabric, powder, glass, and tube inspection under proprietary brands (FABRICHECK, powderSORT, GLASSO series, PANAVIEW) using custom CNN models trained on millions of annotated images.

The company's core technology combines 3D machine vision, Lidar, and Visual SLAM for autonomous navigation (claiming 20mm location accuracy), proprietary AI for real-time defect classification (99.5%+ accuracy in fabric and powder inspection), and self-programming robotic trajectories via 3D image capture. Gridbots operates an enterprise sales motion with direct quote-based procurement, supported by government procurement pathways (DGQA, MoD empanelment, iDEX, DAP-2020 categories, MHA tenders) and active participation in defense and industrial exhibitions (MILIT, LOGIMAT, SURYA DRONA TECH, SWAYAT EXPERIMENT). The team of 50+ professionals serves marquee customers including Adani Group, Tata Power, ONGC, ISRO, BARC, Indian Navy, Ministry of Home Affairs, Borosil, Piramal, Future Group, Godrej, and Disney India, with revenue generated primarily through one-time hardware sales, custom system integration, and after-sales service contracts on multi-year terms. The company has disclosed only a 2009 seed grant from the Government of India's Department of Information Technology as external funding and is actively seeking strategic investment.
