What Industrial Robotics Institute does

Industrial Robotics Institute (IRI) is a privately held EdTech and robotics education provider headquartered in Alathur, Palakkad, Kerala, with an additional office in Kochi. Founded in 2018, the company delivers robotics, embedded systems, AI, coding (Python), PCB design, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and aeromodelling training to K-12 schools, colleges, and individual learners, primarily across Kerala. Its service model combines on-campus faculty-led programs (40+ in-person classes per academic year per school), turnkey robotics lab installations with ongoing maintenance, workshops, summer camps, a 2-month college internship, and self-serve online courses delivered via the IRI Online Academy platform with kits shipped to remote students.

IRI monetizes through a diversified mix of revenue streams: online course fees (subscription/perpetual access with kit shipping), professional services for robotics lab installation under multi-year contracts, one-time software licenses for ENOT (student-teacher-parent communication) and IRI School Accounting Software, pay-as-you-go workshops and private training, hardware sales of robotics kits, and bulk ID card/RFID product sales. Go-to-market is event-driven for schools (demo classes, workshops, exhibitions, direct outreach) combined with direct-to-consumer self-registration for online learners.

The company reports cumulative reach of 10,000+ students tutored, 100+ institutional customers, and 100+ robotics lab installations. Its proprietary product surface includes the IRI RoboPro Robot (AI companion for educational and office environments), ENOT communication platform, and IRI School Accounting Software, alongside a structured Junior-to-Advanced Plus curriculum. The business remains small (approximately 13 employees), regionally concentrated in Kerala, with no disclosed external funding, management team details, patents, or partnerships on file.
