Terafac, a Chandigarh-based AI-robotics startup, has raised ₹6.5 crore in a pre-seed funding round led by Inuka Capital. The round saw participation from DEVC, Bharat Founders Fund, Innovation Mission Punjab, and several angel investors.
The funds raised will be used for product development, expansion into new markets, and recruitment.
Founded in 2023 by Anubhi Khandelwal and Amrit Singh, Terafac develops AI-driven manufacturing automation solutions. The company has created an AI Vision platform that enables standard industrial robots to adapt and perform tasks without manual programming. Its first product, WeldT, uses computer vision to automate welding in settings with high variation in products. The technology is being adapted for other applications including painting, gluing, inspection, and assembly.
Terafac operates on what it calls a Software as a Skill model and aims to achieve 80 deployments across more than 20 customers within the next year. The company projects an annual recurring revenue of ₹8 crore by the 2026 financial year.
Its growth strategy includes building partnerships with original equipment manufacturers and system integrators in India, as well as exploring opportunities in the United States, United Arab Emirates, and Europe.
Anubhi Khandelwal, CEO and Founder, Terafac, said, “Manufacturing as we know it is already fading. As AI evolves beyond the human form into Physical Intelligence, we are witnessing a once-in-a-century shift, where lean, adaptive, and precise automation will redefine how things are made. This isn’t just a tech leap; it’s the dawn of India’s journey from Industry 2.0 to 5.0. At Terafac, we are building the foundation for this transformation, right at the inflection point of progress.”
