The 30 innovators Who Changed the Startup World

Robolab Technologies:
A Perfect Platform to Explore,
Learn and Build Ideas
The most important aspect for any business is
planning. It helps an organization chart a course
for the achievement of its goals and Robolab is a
perfect example for it. Robolab Technologies Pvt. Ltd.
was officially incorporated on Friday the 13th September
2013. The team of Robolab had already started working on
the business model and planned well before its
establishment. For almost 5 months, the team of Robolab
met several institutions in and around the region, but they
got rejected for not having prior business experience. But as
it is rightly said, “Never Lose Hope”, and they did not lose
one, instead, they left their comfort zone and started
approaching early majority institutions all over India with
their solutions. The pool was large and it was needed for
them to target somewhere and thus, they chose Andhra
Pradesh and began approaching Professors and HoD’s of
top colleges. Within two months of starting this exercise,
they succeeded in breaking the ice. They got their first order
from the Guru Nanak Institutions, Hyderabad.
At the initial stage, all Robolab needed was the necessary
momentum and that’s what the first order gave them. Since
then, they have never looked back, and within a short
period of 4 years, Robolab has reached 28 key institutions
spread across 10 states in India and has collaborations with
Indian Armed Forces and various Industries.
An Idea to Accord Knowledge
Robolab Technologies came into existence out of the
rigorous efforts of its founders as an attempt to transform
the Educational facilities in the country, provide an
innovative platform to the students to show their skills and
implement their ideas and create employment for the youth.
Instead of taking up lucrative jobs, the founders chose to
start a company. Having worked in the Robotics field for
four years of their Engineering and being associated with
the Robotics and Automation Laboratory- Robot Study
Circle in COEP, Robolab Technologies was bound to
happen. Having worked on a variety of projects,
participating in various types of competitions and securing
laurels for the Alma Mater at all levels, the founders
decided to continue with the same zeal and impart the
knowledge to the newcomers and other students.
“We are grateful to be incubated under and supported by
BHAU Institute of Innovation, Entrepreneurship and
Leadership (BIEL), the Incubation center of the College of
Engineering Pune (COEP).”
