Chennai-based tech firm Zoho invests Rs 20 cr in Genrobotics
Genrobotics builds robotics and AI-driven solutions for social issues
It offers ‘Bandicoot’ robot, the world’s first robotic scavenger
It helps clean confined spaces like sewers, manholes, oily water sewers
This eliminates the need for human entry into manholes
Currently, Bandicoot is employed in 14 states
Smart cities, Urban Local Bodies, refineries, multinational companies, and townships use this
Zoho said the investment will assist Genrobotics in eradicating manual scavenging
It will also provide safety and dignity to workers in sanitation, oil and gas industries
