Vividobots, a robotic automation start-up, has raised INR 1.47 Crores in a Seed Round led by Inflexion Point Ventures.
The funds will be utilised to enhance product innovation and expand vertical-specific robotic deployments.
Founded in 2021 by postgraduate engineers Dhinesh B (CEO), Velmurugan B (CPO), and Kesavaraj S (CTO), Vividobots was born out of a tragic incident involving a painter’s fall. This moment of vulnerability inspired the trio to innovate for real-world impact. With backgrounds at Flipkart, Air Defence Agency, and TCS, respectively, the founders bring deep domain and technical expertise to the problem they set out to solve.
Vividobots, a robotic automation startup based in Chennai, is on a mission to make high-rise
building maintenance safer, faster, and more efficiently. By leveraging AI-powered robotics, the company is revolutionising exterior painting and cleaning operations, an area historically reliant on manual labour and prone to fatal risks. Their solutions significantly reduce time, cost, and material wastage while improving safety and precision.
Vividobots is currently operational in Chennai, with plans to scale into new metros where real estate growth and vertical maintenance are surging. The startup’s robotic systems deliver up to 70% time savings, 50% cost reduction, and 15% lower material wastage, setting a new benchmark in high-rise operations. Their proprietary technology ensures AI-powered precision, safety, and repeatability, making exterior maintenance predictable and scalable.
Vikram Ramasubramanian, Partner & CIO, Inflection Point Ventures, said, “As real estate in India continues to boom, high-rise buildings are becoming increasingly common and so are the challenges that come with maintaining them. Vividobots is tackling this head-on with innovative robotic solutions that make exterior building maintenance safer and more efficient.
