Founded in 2017 by Vipin Raghavan, Priya Venkat, and Arjunan PN, Haber specializes in developing industrial robots designed to automate labor-intensive processes in manufacturing environments. Their AI-powered robots streamline tasks like sample collection, measurement, analysis, and intervention, helping factories enhance efficiency by minimizing manual labor. The company's technology also enables industries to reduce their consumption of chemicals, energy, and water, promoting cost-effective and sustainable operations.

“Haber’s vision is aligned with the growing global focus on automation and sustainability,” said Vipin Raghavan, co-founder and CEO of Haber. “We are excited to accelerate our mission of revolutionizing industrial automation with the support of Creaegis and our investors.”

Haber has seen strong growth, reporting an 82% increase in revenue in FY2023 to Rs 82.8 crore. However, losses have widened by 47% to Rs 36.8 crore, reflecting the company's aggressive expansion in the competitive AI and robotics market.

As AI and robotics continue to gain traction in industries like manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare, this latest funding positions Haber as a key player in the future of industrial automation.
