- ByStartupStory | February 5, 2026
AI-enabled NDT robotics startup Octobotics has raised around Rs 10 crore in its seed funding round led by Navam Capital, with participation from BYT Capital.
The proceeds will be used to accelerate product development, strengthen field validation, and support international expansion. A portion of the funds will also be deployed towards certification processes and expanding operations across India, Singapore, and the Middle East.
Founded in 2020 by Ishan Bhatnagar and Gulshan Kumar, Octobotics builds AI-enabled non-destructive testing (NDT) robotics platforms for inspection in asset-intensive sectors such as oil and gas, chemicals, power, marine, and railways.
It focuses on inspection use cases in hazardous and hard-to-access environments.
Octobotics currently serves organisations including the Indian Navy, Indian Oil Corporation, BPCL, HPCL, Aarti Industries, GSFC, and Saudi S-Chem. The startup reported Rs 2 crore in revenue in the last fiscal year.
Its product portfolio includes rail inspection systems, automated weld inspection platforms, and specialised NDT tools for elevated and confined inspection zones. These systems automate manual inspection tasks and convert inspection data into actionable insights for asset operators.
