Addverb Technologies Ltda Noida-based startup backed by Mukesh Ambani, is set to launch its first humanoid robots in 2025.

This move positions India as a strong competitor in the global humanoid robotics market, challenging players like Tesla, Boston Dynamicsand Chinese firms.
Addverb’s CEO Sangeet Kumar highlighted the competitive edge of their robots, despite the significant financial investments required for their development.

The launch of Addverb’s humanoid robots comes as global companies like Elon Musk’s Tesla, Boston Dynamicsand Agility Robotics race to bring similar innovations to market. Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot, expected to cost $20,000-$25,000is slated to become widespread by 2040.
In addition to Addverb, Mukesh Ambani has backed other AI startups, including Hanooman AI by BharatGPT, further solidifying his presence in cutting-edge technology. This strategic investment aligns with Ambani’s vision to position India as a global technology leader.
With the humanoid robotics sector projected to grow significantly, Addverb Technologies’ launch represents a pivotal moment for India’s robotics industry. Despite challenges like high development costs, Addverb aims to compete with global giants, promising to deliver innovative and industry-specific solutions.
