In a boost to India’s growing marine technology space, underwater robotics startup EyeROV has secured fresh capital to scale innovation and expand its global reach. The company has raised Rs 13 crore ($1.44 million) in a pre-Series A funding round co-invested by AWE Funds and Unicorn India Ventures.
The funds will be used to speed up research and development, back new product innovation, and strengthen EyeROV’s presence across India and international markets, the startup said.
Founded in 2017, EyeROV operates in the marine robotics and underwater inspection segment. The company develops remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and unmanned surface vessels (USVs) for use in infrastructure, energy, and defence applications.
EyeROV said it has completed more than 150 projects for over 80 clients across sectors such as power, oil and gas, ports, shipping, and government bodies. Its customer base includes major private and public sector organisations like Tata Power, NHPC, Adani, ONGC, BPCL, and Maersk, along with defence and government agencies including the Indian Navy, DRDO, and the Indian Coast Guard.
The startup has also recently secured an order worth Rs 47 crore from the Indian Navy, marking a significant milestone in its defence portfolio.
EyeROV integrates advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) payloads into its robotic platforms. These include ultrasonic testing systems, sonar imaging, and AI-based inspection tools designed for complex underwater environments.
The company serves a wide range of sectors such as power, oil and gas, ports, infrastructure, marine research, and defence. Its business model includes both direct product sales and robotics-as-a-service (RaaS), allowing clients flexible access to underwater inspection solutions.
With the latest funding, EyeROV aims to deepen its technology capabilities and position itself as a key player in the global marine robotics and inspection market.
