Robolab
Technologies Pvt Ltd
A Platform to Explore, Learn and Build Ideas
Experiential Learning,
particularly Learning by doing
enables students to grasp
concepts clearly and also how they can
be implemented in real life. This is
especially helpful in today’s dynamic
environment where technology acts as
an enabler to learning and needs to be
learnt as well. All one needs is a
platform that gives freedom to
experiment, make mistakes and learn.
Empowering people with the use of
technologies, Robolab Technologies
Pvt Ltd has been striving to develop
an ecosystem which gives people
access to technology, provides
necessary resources, training and
cultivates innovation by motivating
them to solve real-life challenges.
First-generation entrepreneurs and
Co-founders, Pratik Deshmukh,
Amol Gulhane and Ajit B. Pawar
share their experience.
Kindly take us through the journey
of your company and its objectives.
Robolab Technologies came into
existence out of our rigorous efforts 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, we chose to
start a company. Having worked in the
Robotics field for four years of our
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, we
decided to continue with the same zeal
and impart the knowledge to the
newcomers and other students. The
idea was finalized when we came
across a survey which showed the
laggardness in the “Research and
Development Facilities and Center of
Excellences in India”
Robolab Technologies is incubated
under and supported and mentored by
BHAU Institute of Innovation,
Entrepreneurship and Leadership
(BIEL). Robolab is your very own, on
campus, Centre of Excellence in
Robotics, Internet of Things (IoT),
Artificial Intelligence (AI), Rapid
Prototyping (RP) and Industrial
Automation, tailor-made for you. It is
an advanced, state of the art platform
to explore, learn and build robots and
related technologies. We provide
innovative and interactive training by
experts consistent with the latest
curricula and the industry
requirements.
Kindly share your professional
journey and what factors made them
choose the industry they are in?
Robolab was officially incorporated on
Friday the 13th September 2013; we
had already started working on the
business model and plan well before
that somewhere in May. For almost 5
months, Robolab team met several
institutions in and around the region
but got rejected for not having prior
business experience.
We did not lose hope, instead, left our
comfort zone and started approaching
early majority institutions all over
India with the solutions. The pool was
large, but it needed us to target
somewhere and thus, we chose Andhra
Pradesh and began approaching
Professors and HoDs of top colleges.
