Fueled by this investment, AuraML will fast-track product innovation, expand its U.S. footprint, and scale enterprise pilots spanning warehouse automation, industrial robotics, and next-gen autonomous platforms.
New Delhi, 25 June 2025 — AuraML, a pioneering deeptech startup building next-gen generative simulation tools for robotics, has secured $1 million in pre-seed funding. The round was led by global venture capital firm Turbostart, with additional participation from DeVC, GSF Accelerator, IAN, and other early supporters.
Founded with a vision to revolutionize how intelligent machines are built and deployed, AuraML’s proprietary simulation platform enables faster, safer, and more cost-effective development of robotic systems for industrial, warehouse, and autonomous applications.
Accelerating Product and Global Expansion
With the newly raised capital, AuraML will:
- Advance its core simulation engine to support more complex robotic workflows
- Expand operations in the U.S., with enterprise pilots already underway
- Support global clients in autonomous mobility, warehouse automation, and industrial robotics
“There’s a persistent narrative that India lacks deep IP innovation. AuraML challenges that notion,” said Ganesh Raju, Founder, Turbostart. “This team is building tech that’s globally competitive—and perhaps transformative.”
Solving the Real-World Bottlenecks in Robotics
Training and validating advanced robotics systems today requires months of real-world trials, often costing hundreds of thousands of dollars in hardware, infrastructure, and labor. AuraML reimagines this process through simulation:
- High-fidelity testing of robots in complex virtual environments
- Scenario generation that mirrors difficult real-world conditions like poor lighting, dust, irregular layouts, and multi-agent coordination
- Dramatically reduced development cycles—what traditionally takes 6 months and ~$500K can now be done in 1 week, at a fraction of the cost
Founder Vision and Deeptech Outlook
“We believe Robotics and Physical AI are the next frontier of human progress,” said Ayush Sharma, Co-founder & CEO, AuraML. “Our mission is to accelerate this progress by giving engineers better tools to build smarter, safer machines. We’re also proud to be building core GenAI infrastructure from India—and inviting global talent to join this journey.”
Platform Highlights
- Text-to-World environment generation for diverse scenario testing
- Sensor noise simulation (LiDAR, vision) to replicate real-world uncertainty
- Scalable cloud support for multi-robot deployments
- Seamless integration with existing development workflows
By shifting robotics testing from the physical world into generative simulation environments, AuraML is enabling teams to launch more resilient systems—faster and more affordably than ever before.
