Noida: May 2025: Alphadroid, an India-based robotics and physical AI company, has raisedINR 360 millionin a funding round led by Alkemi Growth Capital, with participation from Shree Vasu Logistics Limited (SVLL) as an investor.
This marks the company’s first external fundraise and public announcement, following several years of building and deploying on its own in a bootstrapped manner its solutions across hospitals, retail environments, and large format facilities.
FOCUSED ON REAL OPERATIONAL GAPS
In sectors like healthcare, a significant portion of staff time continues to be spent on non-clinical work such as moving materials, guiding patients, and managing internal logistics. Alphadroid’s systems are designed to take over these functions.
The company develops and deploys robots that handle navigation, delivery, and routine operational tasks within complex environments. The objective is straightforward: reduce time spent on process heavy work and allow teams to focus on core responsibilities.
Alphadroid’s solutions are already in use with organisations such as Reliance, Apollo Healthcare, Apollo Pharmacy, and Bikanerwala, indicating adoption beyond pilot programs.
EXPANSION INTO LOGISTICS
With Alkemi Growth Capital a healthcare focused fund leading the round, and participation from SVLL, Alphadroid is strengthening its presence in healthcare while expanding into logistics and warehousing.
Supply chain operations, particularly at scale, are highly sensitive to inefficiencies. The partnership is expected to focus on introducing robotics into warehouse workflows, including material movement and process automation.
This expands Alphadroid’s presence from controlled environments such as hospitals into larger high volume operational settings.
FOUNDER’S VIEW
Sanjeev Kumar, Founder and CEO of Alphadroid, said:
“We have spent the last few years building closely with customers, understanding where time is actually lost in day to day operations and designing systems around those gaps. In most cases, the constraint is not capability, but bandwidth. Skilled professionals are often tied up in tasks that do not require their expertise.
This investment allows us to build further on that work. Healthcare remains a key focus, while logistics is a natural extension for us. Both sectors operate at scale and require consistent efficiency, which is where we see the strongest role for automation.
We are not just using AI and robotics as tools to transform operations, but creating an ecosystem that enables how industries evolve for the future.”
INVESTOR AND PARTNER COMMENTS
Alkemi Growth Capital
Alka Goel, Partner, Alkemi Growth Capital, said:
“What stood out to us about Alphadroid is not just the technology, but the clarity of the problem they are solving. Healthcare systems today are constrained not by clinical expertise, but by operational inefficiencies that dilute the impact of that expertise.
Alphadroid’s approach to physical AI directly addresses this gap. They are not building for experimentation, they are building for deployment, and that distinction is critical. We see this as a category defining opportunity within healthcare automation.”
Shree Vasu Logistics Limited (SVLL)
Loknidi Akhilesh Rao, Chief Executive Officer, Shree Vasu Logistics Limited, said:
“What impressed us about Alphadroid is their understanding of how operations actually function at scale. In logistics, even small inefficiencies compound rapidly.
Their solutions are not built in isolation, they are designed to integrate into complex high volume environments like ours. We see strong potential to deploy these systems across our operations and drive meaningful improvements in productivity and process optimisation.”
USE OF FUNDS
The company will use the funds to:
- Expand engineering and research and development teams for product development
• Develop specialised solutions for healthcare environments
• Initiate deployments in logistics and warehousing
• Substantially expand international market presence
