New Delhi, Nov 4 (PTI) US-based Peppermint Robotics, which has 90 per cent of its workforce based in India, has raised Rs 100 crore (approximately USD 10.5 million) in a funding round led by Pi Ventures and Crane Venture Partners, a top company official said on Wednesday.

    The investment comprises a combination of primary capital and secondary share transactions, the company said.

    “We have raised Rs 100 crores. This is a pre-Series B fundraise. Fundamentally, this will be used for four key pillars– business expansion worldwide, increasing engineering bandwidth, product development and capex,” Peppermint Robotics Founder and CEO, Runal Dahiwade, told PTI.

    He said a significant portion of the fund will be utilised in India for expansion of manufacturing capex, engineering team in Pune research and development centre, business and after sales.

    “We have an overall capacity of up to 1,500 robots per annum in Pune at present. The capex will simplify some of our production processes and also enhance flexibility for capacity. We want to at least double our production capacity to 3,000 robots by the end of FY’28,” Dahiwade said.

    The company had earlier raised Rs 34 crore (approximately USD 4 million) in April 2025. Peppermint has also expanded its international presence to nine countries, with the US emerging as its largest market.

    Peppermint specialises in autonomous cleaning robots that are deployed across a range of commercial and industrial environments, including factories, hospitals, airports, malls, warehouses, hotels and universities.

    The company primarily serves facility management companies that oversee cleaning operations, including the selection of equipment, chemicals and cleaning processes. It develops robotics hardware, software and perception systems in-house, with assembly operations in Pune.

    “We are going to expand our engineering team in Pune and also build a smaller but powerful team in the USA,” Dahiwade said. Looking ahead, Peppermint plans to expand its portfolio of autonomous floor-cleaning and material-handling robots, while advancing the development of its next-generation CR cleanroom robotics line.
