IIT-Madras-incubated robotics start-up Solinas Integrity expects to achieve a topline of ₹100 crore by FY29 as it looks to scale its international business and deepen its presence in markets such as the Middle East and South-East Asia.
The company posted 2X revenue growth in FY26 and expects to close the current fiscal year with a topline of ₹45-50 crore, Moinak Banerjee, Co-Founder at Solinas Integrity, told businessline.
Founded in 2018, Solinas builds AI-powered robotic systems for water and sanitation infrastructure. These robots can be used to inspect, clean and maintain pipelines, tanks, manholes, sewers and storm drains.
International markets, which the company entered only last year, already account for four to five per cent of its business, with plans to scale the figure to as much as 30 per cent in 3-5 years.
Banerjee said that the firm is also looking to bag larger orders from public departments and other state-level bodies while also expanding into tier-2 and tier-3 cities.
“We are in a growth phase, and we believe we have only touched the tip of the iceberg when it comes to smaller cities in India. The government funding for such infrastructure has increased in recent years, and this is helping create demand,” he said.
The company currently deploys its solutions in over 30 Indian cities, including Chennai, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru.
The start-up operates a production facility in Chennai with a capacity of about 100–120 robots a year. Banerjee suggests that it is currently exploring plans for another facility in Maharashtra or Delhi that can double its capacity.
The company had, in August of this year, closed a $5.5 million Series A funding round led by Hero Enterprise Partner Ventures, with the proceeds earmarked for R&D and also expanding into international and smaller Indian markets
On copycat firms that import and assemble Chinese robots, Banerjee said that given the fundamentally unique requirements of the Indian ecosystem, only companies with significant local R&D can build robots specifically for Indian conditions.
About 80 per cent of the overall cost of Solinas’ robots is localised, while 15–20 per cent of the components are imported, including critical chips, power electronics, high-density motors, and camera components.
