General Autonomy, founded by former ShareChat executives in early 2023, is focused on developing robotics for factories. The company’s notable product, PARAM, an Indian-made robot dog, was presented to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
General Autonomy is currently in the pre-revenue phase, having raised Rs 32 crore in May 2026, bringing its valuation to Rs 280 crore. The Indian humanoid robotics market is projected to reach $149 million by 2030, indicating significant growth potential.
The company competes with firms like Addverb and Invento Robotics, targeting automation in manufacturing as e-commerce increases. Investment in robotics may face challenges due to the nascent supply chain in India.
