Industrial robotics manufacturer Haber has raised USD 44 million in its Series C round led by Creaegis, BEENEXT, and Accel. The round comprised USD 38 million in equity and $6 million in debt. The proceeds will be used to scale its operations internationally, particularly in the US, to serve the demand for AI-led industrial automation solutions.
Founded by Raghavan, Arjunan PN, and Priya Venkat, Haber develops AI-powered industrial robots that automate labor-intensive tasks like sample collection, measurement, analysis, and intervention in factories. According to its website, Haber helps industries reduce chemical consumption as well as energy and water usage across sectors such as food and beverages, agriculture, and oil and gas.
The company has raised over USD 70 million to date, including a USD 20 million Series B round led by Ascent Capital with participation from Accel, Elevation, and Beenext in November 2021. Accel is the largest external stakeholder with an 18.1% stake, followed by Creaegis and Elevation.
While FY24 numbers are yet to be disclosed, Haber reported a total revenue of Rs 82 crore and a loss of Rs 36.7 crore in FY23. It directly competes with Prosus-backed Detect Technologies, Altizon, and Fero Labs, among others.
Haber counts ITC, Aditya Birla, and Tata Steel among its clientele. Some of its portfolio includes automation services for chemical dosing across different applications, including sugar mills, distilleries, paper mills, breweries, independent institutions, and mining operations.
