Bengaluru-based deeptech startup Neuralzome Cybernetics has secured $2.4 million in a pre-seed funding round to fast-track the deployment of its autonomous robotics solutions across sectors such as precision agriculture, manufacturing, and logistics.
The round was led by 8X Ventures, with participation from Turbostart, Avinya Ventures, Saka Ventures, Appreciate Capital, Astir Ventures, the IIM Ahmedabad – Centre for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship (CIIE), the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI), and angel investor Heston Castelino. Founded in 2023, Neuralzome is building teachable, no-code AI agents capable of controlling robots in real-world environments without the need for specialist skills. It is focusing on a Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) model for high-value, labor-intensive applications such as orchard management and commercial landscaping. Its flagship platform, NeuralPilot, works alongside RedPill, a simulation environment that creates photorealistic digital twins to train robots in complex scenarios. This method cuts down on-field training time and costs, removing a major roadblock to large-scale robotic adoption.
