Deep-Tech startup CynLr raises $4.5M

Deep-tech startup CynLr has raised USD 4.5 million in funding. CynLr will be establishing its business presence in the US, scale their team to 50+ members and build capacity to address the current pipeline of customers and deliver 100 Robots annually.

Notable industry leaders including Srivats Ram (MD, Wheels India, TVS Group), Shriram Vijayaraghavan (President, Wheels India, TVS Group), Arvind Vasu (former Asia Head, ABB Technology Ventures), Nalin Advani (former CEO, Asia Pacific, GreyOrange Robotics) and Jayaram Pillai (former MD – India, Russia, Arabia, NI) also participated in the round.

Nikhil Ramaswamy and Gokul NA launched CynLr in 2019 to simplify and eliminate the need for tailored-machines to handle objects – from Manufacturing to Warehousing and Logistics to even Industrial Kitchens. The Visual-Robot Platform envisions to ‘simplify’ manufacturing, just as the computers simplified data processing.

“CynLr’s visual robots can instantaneously pick any object of any size, shape, weight, or material regardless of orientation and place with limited to no pre-training. This is the stepping stone in creating Universal Factories – a factory so standardized that any product – from cars to phones to probably even your food, can be manufactured under the same roof, and is just a-click-of-a-button away.” says Nikhil Ramaswamy, Co-founder & CEO, CynLr.
