i-Robochakra

What i-Robochakra does

i-Robochakra is a Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu-based robotics and STEAM education academy founded in 2015 by Arun Rajeev (Managing Director, former design engineer at Honda and Nissan in Japan) and N.A. Sujatha (Founder, Strategic Alliances, currently Mall Marketing Manager at Brookefields Mall). The company delivers hands-on robotics training using microcontrollers including PIC, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi, covering everything from basic controller explanation to advanced wireless module integration. It serves three primary customer segments: school students (grades 3-8), college students attending 2-3 day intensive workshops, and corporate clients (e.g., Texmo Industries, Mercedes Benz). The company's training is delivered at its Saibaba Colony academy in Coimbatore, via in-school programs conducted during regular class hours through school management partnerships, and through online one-on-one sessions over Zoom, Google Meet, and Hangout.

The business operates multiple revenue streams including school subscription programs, college workshop fees, customized corporate training contracts, online one-on-one sessions, and an engineering R&D line that builds automation projects for industries and events. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based across all tiers. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: i-Robochakra hosted the ROBOFEST USA international competition in Coimbatore for two consecutive years (2016-2017) and organized the Sarvavidya Fest national ROBOSCIENCE competition, both serving as customer acquisition and brand-building platforms. The company holds ISRO Registered Space Tutor status (selected from 150+ applicants in 2023), adding space education curriculum to its portfolio.

i-Robochakra is privately held, founder-owned, and bootstrapped with no external institutional investors. It operates with a small team (11 employees) and maintains a single-country, South India-focused geographic footprint. Marketing channels include blog content, Facebook and Instagram, ISRO affiliation as third-party credibility, and bottom-of-funnel website query forms. There is no disclosed revenue figure, funding history, or cap table; operating indicators (updated privacy policy, recent blog content, active social media) confirm the business is still active as of 2024.
