Mowito Raises $3 Mn in Pre-Seed Round led by Version One Ventures

The funding round also included investments from All In Capital, Unisol, iSeed, and angel investors including Soumith Chintala, Adarsh Kulkarni, Ashish Kulkarni, and Vaibhav Domkundwar.

Mowito will use the new funding to expand its business in the United States, grow its engineering and sales teams, and increase the use of its AI technology across automotive and electronics manufacturing companies.

"Manufacturing has reached a point where hardware is no longer the bottleneck — software is. Factory robots shouldn't need to be reprogrammed every time production changes. We believe robots should learn the same way people do: by observing and repeating. This funding allows us to accelerate that vision, expand globally, and bring Physical AI to more manufacturing environments," said Puru Rastog, co-founder and chief executive officer of Mowito.

Kushal Bhagia, Partner at All In Capital, said manufacturing is entering a new phase where AI will fundamentally reshape industrial automation.

"Mowito is building foundational technology that removes one of the biggest barriers to industrial automation — the complexity of robot programming. The team's technical depth, early customer validation, and vision for Physical AI make them exceptionally well positioned to define this category," he said.

Founded in 2024 by Puru Rastogi, Adityanag Nagesh, and Safar V, Bengaluru-based Mowito develops AI foundation models for industrial robot arms. Its software allows robots to learn manufacturing tasks by watching demonstrations instead of being manually programmed helping companies automate production more quickly with their existing robots.

Traditional industrial robots need detailed programming, which can take days and often has to be repeated whenever products or production processes change. Mowito's AI helps robots learn directly from demonstrations, reducing manual work while maintaining high accuracy.

The company says its technology is already being used in real factories. Its AI software powers robots on the production lines of a Fortune 500 automotive company, supporting high-precision assembly in the automotive and consumer electronics industries.
