Deeptech startup AuraML has successfully raised $1 million (approximately INR 8.6 crore) in a pre-seed funding round. The round was led by Turbostart, with additional participation from notable investors such as DeVC, GSF Accelerator, Indian Angel Network, and a host of other strategic backers. This milestone funding will play a crucial role in helping AuraML accelerate its product development roadmap, scale operations in the United States, and support enterprise pilot programs in the realms of warehouse automation, industrial robotics, and autonomous systems.
Founded in 2022 by Ayush Sharma and Arjun Gupta, AuraML is building a generative simulation platform specifically designed for the next generation of robotic systems. At the core of its offering is a simulation engine that enables enterprises to model, test, and deploy robotic systems virtually—drastically reducing the time, cost, and risk associated with real-world prototyping and deployment.

With industries worldwide grappling with increasing demands for automation and intelligent systems, AuraML is stepping in to offer a solution that accelerates robotic innovation. Traditional simulation tools in robotics are often static and manually intensive. AuraML disrupts this paradigm by offering AI-powered generative simulation, allowing systems to learn, adapt, and iterate faster than ever. This approach not only boosts design efficiency but also supports safer and more scalable deployments in mission-critical environments such as logistics hubs and manufacturing floors.
The funding will enable AuraML to refine its proprietary simulation engine, integrate it more deeply with real-world robotics platforms, and onboard enterprise clients through customized pilot programs. By focusing on warehouse automation and industrial robotics, the startup is positioning itself in sectors that are both capital-intensive and increasingly reliant on sophisticated automation solutions.
Commenting on the funding, co-founder Ayush Sharma stated, “This investment validates our belief that the future of robotics lies in virtual-first development. With the backing of some of the top early-stage investors, we’re poised to bring simulation-driven robotics to the global stage.”
AuraML also plans to establish a stronger presence in the United States—home to some of the world’s largest robotics and automation clients. The expansion will help the startup work closely with international partners and tap into a larger pool of customers and technical talent.
Turbostart’s participation as lead investor brings not just capital but also valuable mentorship and access to a broader ecosystem. The involvement of experienced networks like GSF Accelerator and Indian Angel Network further bolsters AuraML’s potential to scale and innovate in a highly competitive market.
As industries continue their march toward automation, AuraML’s generative simulation approach offers a compelling value proposition—faster deployment, lower operational risks, and better-performing robotic systems. With its recent funding, the startup is now well-equipped to drive the next wave of innovation in intelligent automation and robotics.
