What Sirena Technologies does

Sirena Technologies Pvt. Ltd. is a Bangalore-based robotics and AI company founded in 2013 that designs and manufactures humanoid and companion robots, an in-house AI framework, and structured robotics education programs. Its core products include NINO — India's first educational humanoid robot for K-12 classrooms — alongside NINO-T (a 3-foot life-size humanoid for public spaces), NINO-Teen (a 5-foot autonomous wheeled platform with 20kg payload), TWIST (a quadruped social robot), PERRO (a robotic pet), and the SAINT AI framework providing on-device ASR, TTS, wake-word, far-field voice, and object/user identification.

The company monetizes through a mix of hardware sales (robots and IoT kits), managed services (Sirena Robotics Labs installed and operated on school premises with certified trainers), and professional services (SKIP curriculum delivery from kindergarten through Grade 12, SKIP-E for engineering colleges, SKIP-IoT, bootcamps, and the SIR training platform). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales to educational institutions supplemented by community-led demand generation through SKIP, with brand-building anchored by TEDx launches, airport deployment of the KEMPA robot at Kempegowda International Airport, and earned media in The Times Group and India Times.

Headcount has scaled from a founding team of 3 to 90+ employees across nine departments (R&D, Design, QA, Content, HR, Supply Chain, Finance, Sales, Robotics Trainers) in approximately three years. The company operates approximately 25 robotics labs across India and international markets (Laos, Philippines, Canada), and is recognized by Karnataka state funding as a robotics-sector startup. Sirena is privately held, founder-led by Hariharan Bojan, with no disclosed institutional venture capital or private equity investment on record.

Direct peers

• Hiwonder: Hiwonder manufactures educational humanoid and quadruped robots (TonyPi, PuppyPi) targeting makers, universities, and STEM classrooms. Their product portfolio closely mirrors Sirena's NINO, TWIST, and PERRO lines in form factor and audience.
• Hanson Robotics: Hanson Robotics builds expressive humanoid robots (Sophia, Little Sophia) for education, research, and public engagement. Like Sirena, Hanson targets both K-12 STEM education and high-visibility public-space deployments.
• Wonder Workshop: Wonder Workshop sells K-12 STEM robots (Dash, Dot, Cue) and curriculum into schools globally — the same buyer, use case (in-classroom technology), and GTM motion as Sirena's SKIP program, making it the most directly comparable education-robotics peer.
• Makeblock: Makeblock (mBlock / Codey Rocky / mBot) is a leading STEAM education robotics platform with global school distribution. Like Sirena, it sells bundled hardware + curriculum + teacher training into K-12 and engineering institutions.
• Elephant Robotics: Elephant Robotics develops educational and collaborative robots including the MarsCat companion and catbot, and bipedal humanoids aimed at STEM learning. They overlap with Sirena on humanoid platforms for engineering colleges and home companion robots.
• UBTech Robotics: UBTech is one of the world's leading humanoid robotics companies, with the Alpha series directly targeting K-12 STEM education and a global distribution footprint. Sirena and UBTech compete head-to-head for school humanoid deployments and engineering-college lab installations.
• SoftBank Robotics: SoftBank Robotics developed Pepper and NAO, the most widely deployed social humanoid robots in education, airports, and retail. Sirena's NINO-T (deployed at Kempegowda International Airport) competes directly with Pepper in service-robotics use cases.
• PAL Robotics: PAL Robotics is a Spain-based humanoid and service robot maker (TIAGo, TALOS, ARI) with deployments in airports, retail, healthcare, and research labs. PAL competes with Sirena in service-humanoid applications such as airport assistance and corporate environments.

Broad incumbents

• Agility Robotics: Agility Robotics builds Digit, a general-purpose humanoid focused on logistics and warehouse work. While it targets a different end-market, Agility represents the well-funded Western humanoid standard Sirena would compete against if expanding into global service-robotics applications.
• 1X Technologies: 1X (backed by OpenAI) develops humanoid robots for consumer and service use. It is a relevant broader humanoid peer that signals the capital and engineering intensity of the category Sirena is competing in.
