Swaayatt Robots: Bringing Driverless Cars to Indian Roads and Raising $4 Million
Would you ever imagine a driverless car navigating through the chaotic traffic of Indian roads? I certainly didn’t-until I discovered Swaayatt Robots. This innovative startup has turned a regular Mahindra Bolero into an autonomous vehicle capable of handling real Indian traffic, achieving level 5 autonomy, which even giants like Tesla haven't reached yet.
Sanjeev Sharma, the founder of Swaayatt Robots, has revolutionized autonomous driving in India at a fraction of the cost. With only $650,000 spent from their initial $3 million funding in 2021, they've now secured an additional $4 million to scale their level 4 autonomous driving technology. But Swaayatt Robots isn’t competing with car manufacturers; instead, they're aiming to be a technology supplier, targeting markets like military applications and the $800 billion autonomous trucking industry in the US.
What’s truly inspiring is that this groundbreaking innovation comes from Bhopal, a city not typically known for its tech scene. I first stumbled upon them while researching for our “Top 10 Madhya Pradesh Startups” video-check it out to discover more innovative companies from the state!
Ola Electric's IPO Approval
According to recent reports, Ola Electric has received SEBI approval for their IPO, aiming to raise ₹7,250 crore. With over 50% market share, Ola Electric leads the electric scooter segment in India.
Ather Energy’s Revenue Decline
Ather Energy, once a pioneer in electric scooters, has seen a slight revenue decline in FY24, despite strong customer loyalty. Find out what went wrong and their journey in our recent video.
Is Stoa School Shutting Down?
The Ken claims Stoa School, known as “India’s best alternative to an MBA,” might be shutting down. However, co-founder Raj Kunkolienkar says they’ve paused admissions to re-evaluate their next steps. More details expected by August.
CRED Exploring Secured Loans
CRED is reportedly exploring the secured lending market, following the RBI's stricter regulations on unsecured loans. With existing success in unsecured lending through CRED Cash, they’re now considering home and auto lending products.
Kissflow Layoffs
Kissflow, a SaaS startup, laid off 11% of its workforce (45 employees) as part of restructuring. The company previously made headlines for gifting BMW cars to senior employees for loyalty.

i can smell a scam as soon as I hear level 5 autonomy. no data on number of km driven, no details of hardware tech specs or software.
Hey all, this one is a re-upload from earlier today. We have added a clear sponsored disclaimer.
India's road conditions of no rules, no interest, no behavioral aspect actually allows making driverless vehicle easier to build. The only major things for algo to watch out is for another human and vehicle. Interestingly, the real challenge for this start up would be when US trucking company ask it to lookput for signs, follow rules of the road etc.. . 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣It seems funny but am serious
Parking lot business is a big and unorganized industry in india
Nearly 2 crore car needs parking everyday
Make video on TiHAN IIT hyderabad for autonomous vehicles
Would love to some deep dive video on individual sectors, disruption different start up trying to bring. Challenges . Also, some videos on challenges faced by different startup due to regulatory reasons. Would love to keep this channel to get most news for start up ecosystem in India. Thank you. Hope you grow to 1M soon! Cheers
Bullshit it's level 5 🤣🤣🤣
I'm just so in love with this song
I hope they don't use open pilot
Good 👍
Full self driving can never happen in India because the road infrastructure is not up to scratch and none of the human drivers obey any of the traffic laws.
To make matters worse it seems that law enforcement is also not interested in enforcing the traffic laws.
So basically India lacks the behavioral environment for this technology 🤔
this is true for now, but soon enough the government will subsidize vehicle automation infrastructure projects. In the newly constructed Atal Setu, there are dedicated regions for testing autonomous driving, albeit not in the near future, automated driving in india will certainly succeed as the economy grows.
If auto polit works half way in India it will work in any country in the world
the reasons you gave for it wont work seems to have worked in the opposite i.e. no rules, no interest, no behavioral aspect actually allows making driverless vehicle easier to build. The only major things for algo to watch out is for another human and vehicle. Interestingly, the real challenge for this start up would be when US trucking company ask it to lookput for signs, follow rules of the road etc.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣. It seems funny but am serious
@@jaspreetmodi real problem is going to be pedestrian crossing and vehicle's approaching from a blind . Like behind a Parker car or a building. But lidar needs to be able to penetrate beyond a point to get that working
@@objectsmedia4523 Again, in Indian context, it may not matter for reasons i explained earlier. Just club all your situations as of one "object" seen by the auto car . .. slow down or stop the car if the sensor identifies it in time else try to swerve or just go and dash it .. keep proofs ready for the police to see .. No need to act smart to anticipate ahead of time or what it is or what it will do etc.
I think swaayatt is a scam 😂
Hey buddy please give me heart ❤.
This is cheating
