Shreenabh Agrawal and Jaskaran Singh Walia founded Aktoria Robotics in 2026. The startup uses remote software to help robots when they get stuck. Operators from India, Mexico, and the US take control to finish tasks. This system helps businesses save money, as it costs 50% less than hiring in-house teams.
Aktoria Robotics was founded by Shreenabh Agrawal and Jaskaran Singh Walia. Their startup develops a software that can let humans or operators to control robots from a distance. The aim to is to help the businesses so they don't have to maintain a dedicated team of operators at each location.
