Eying EU, Japan and APAC Expansion, Peppermint raises $4 million in Series A Funding
Peppermint, a leader in autonomous robotic solutions for commercial and industrial applications, has raised a Series A funding round of ₹34 crore (~$4 million). The round was participated in by JDSS, ENRISSION INDIA CAPITAL, IAN, Vinners, and angel investors participated in the round. Peppermint develops autonomous solutions for commercial and industrial use cases, focusing on floor cleaning robots, material handling systems, and support accessories like docking stations. The company helps businesses address labor shortages, streamline operations, and improve sustainability via its energy-efficient robotic solutions backed by the proprietary Peppermint OS and “Skateboard” electronics framework.
The easy-to-deploy and easy-to-manage systems are further supported by cloud-connected dashboards and mobile apps, delivering real-time analytics for data-driven decision-making.
“Today, as industries worldwide face increasing labor shortages and sustainability demands, our autonomous solutions are uniquely positioned to deliver both operational efficiency and environmental benefits. Our current round of funding will help us drive four strategic priorities — enhancing our international product offerings & compliances, expanding into the EU, Japan and APAC regions, advancing our proprietary operating system to support both our robots and OEM partners, and building the infrastructure needed to meet growing demand,” said Runal Dahiwade, Founder & CEO, Peppermint.
Peppermint started its journey at SINE IIT Bombay in 2019. Since then, It has received support from investors, including NKK Group, SINE, Venture Catalysts, IAN, Voxtur Ventures, Vinners, JDSS, ENRISSION INDIA CAPITAL and others. The latest investment brings the company’s total funding to ₹49 crore ($5.6 million), including previous funding rounds. Following its successful US market debut in 2024, Peppermint plans to use the new capital to accelerate its expansion into European and Asia-Pacific markets through 2026. The funding will also help further enhance Peppermint technologies, includes OS and Skateboard.
These innovations align with Peppermint’s vision of automating repetitive workflows across industries that are increasingly seeing workers migrate from unskilled to higher-skill roles. The company also aims to strengthen its leadership and core engineering teams while simultaneously investing in production and supply chain, thereby enabling new products like the restroom cleaning robot scheduled for release in 2025-2026.
As successful deployments already prove the value proposition, Peppermint Robotics’ Series A funding arrives at a pivotal moment of market readiness and technological maturity. The startup is now uniquely positioned to deliver multi-functional autonomous robots designed to perform numerous workflows in a single pass while being intuitive to deploy and manage.
