Pune-based robotics startup Peppermint Robotics has raised ₹100 crore in a Pre-Series B funding round led by pi Ventures and Crane Venture Partners, with participation from Asiana Fund.
The funding round includes a combination of primary capital and secondary share transactions, according to a report published on 4 November 2026. The company plans to use the proceeds to expand manufacturing capacity, develop new robotics products and strengthen its international operations.
01. Where Peppermint Robotics plans to invest
The startup is expected to direct the new capital towards scaling production, engineering next-generation autonomous robots and expanding its global footprint. It also plans to establish an assembly line in North America in the coming months, according to the funding report.
02. What does Peppermint Robotics make?
Founded in 2019, Peppermint Robotics develops autonomous mobile robots for commercial floor cleaning and material transportation. Its products are designed for use in environments such as commercial facilities and industrial operations, where automation can reduce repetitive manual work.
The company has expanded its operations to nine countries, with the United States reported as its largest market.
03. Why the funding matters for India’s robotics sector
The investment highlights continued investor interest in applied robotics and industrial automation. As businesses look to improve operational efficiency, autonomous systems for cleaning, logistics and material movement are attracting attention beyond traditional factory automation.
However, the ability to scale internationally will depend on product reliability, deployment economics, service networks and the startup’s ability to compete with established robotics providers.
