Robotics startup Botsync secures additional Series A funding from SGInnovate

Singapore-based robotics automation company Botsync has secured additional funding from SGInnovate as part of its extended Series A round, reinforcing its position as it accelerates regional and international expansion. The investment will support Botsync’s growth in the United States and Australia, scale customer deployments, and advance development of its autonomous mobile robots and SyncOS platform.

Founded in Singapore, Botsync specialises in autonomous mobile robots and vendor-agnostic automation orchestration. Its technology is designed to help manufacturers and logistics operators deploy, manage, and optimise fleets of robots across complex industrial environments. The latest funding comes amid rising demand for scalable automation across Asia-Pacific, driven by labour shortages, productivity pressures, and the need for more flexible operations.

Over the past year, Botsync has recorded strong commercial momentum. The company reported a 240 per cent increase in production trips, surpassing one million live production trips in 2025, alongside 230 per cent revenue growth. This performance has been driven largely by existing customers expanding their deployments, moving from pilot projects to large-scale rollouts.

Botsync has seen particularly strong demand from the fast-moving consumer goods, food and beverage, and automotive sectors. These industries are increasingly looking beyond single-task automation towards systems that can adapt to changing layouts, workflows, and volumes. Botsync’s approach focuses on orchestrating multi-vendor robot fleets rather than locking customers into a single hardware ecosystem.

The company has also broadened its geographic footprint. Over the past year, Botsync expanded into Australia and South Africa through strategic partnerships to support existing customers. It has also partnered with SK International as part of its entry into the United States, marking a significant step in its global expansion strategy. Its solutions have been deployed by multinational companies including Ford, Caterpillar, Kimberly Clark, Coca Cola, Aquaporin, and Nestle.

Product development and platform focus

With the additional Series A funding, Botsync plans to accelerate product and technology development, with a strong emphasis on its SyncOS platform. The company is working to integrate SyncOS with a wider network of robotic and software products, reinforcing its position as a vendor-agnostic orchestration layer for industrial automation.

Further investment will go into enhancing SyncOS’s AI-driven analytics and optimisation capabilities. These features are intended to help enterprises gain deeper operational visibility, improve efficiency, and continuously optimise performance without extensive manual intervention. At the same time, Botsync is focused on improving the throughput capacity of its MAG autonomous mobile robots, particularly their ability to operate reliably in dynamic, real-world environments.

Botsync is also preparing to deepen its presence in Southeast Asia and India, while building strategic partnerships to support launches across the ANZ and US markets. Additional market development efforts are already underway as the company balances regional consolidation with selective global growth.

Rahul Nambiar, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Botsync, said the continued support from Singapore’s innovation ecosystem has played a key role in the company’s progress. “The support from the Singapore ecosystem has been a strong factor in our growth so far, and we are very excited and grateful to have SGInnovate onboard in this next stage of our journey,” he said.

He added that Botsync’s ability to orchestrate diverse robot fleets has become increasingly important as adoption scales. “With this growth of robotics adoption, our ability to integrate and orchestrate a multi-vendor fleet of robots has become a game changer. We strongly believe the next frontier of robotics won’t be in just making smarter robots, but building intelligent systems that can orchestrate different robots together more effectively,” Nambiar said.

SGInnovate backing and long-term vision

SGInnovate’s investment reflects its mandate to support deep tech companies emerging from Singapore with the potential to scale regionally and globally. Hsien-Hui Tong, Executive Director of Investments at SGInnovate, said Botsync addresses pressing industry needs. “Their approach to robotics automation addresses real and urgent industry needs, and Botsync exemplifies how home-grown deep tech companies can scale regionally to deliver meaningful impact,” she said.

Looking ahead, Botsync aims to establish SyncOS as a core orchestration layer for enterprises seeking to automate industrial operations at scale. The company plans to deepen partnerships with system integrators and technical solution providers across manufacturing and logistics as it works towards this goal.

Botsync is headquartered in Singapore and operates offices in India, Indonesia, Thailand, Hong Kong SAR, and Australia. It has deployed more than 200 systems for 30 enterprise clients across six countries and territories, with a focus on building automation systems that continuously adapt to operational demands.
