Bengaluru-based deeptech startup Yaanendriya has raised ₹15 crore in a funding round from Piper Serica. The fresh capital will be deployed to strengthen research and development, accelerate product development and expand the company’s portfolio of high-precision navigation systems for mission-critical applications.
Founded in Bengaluru, Yaanendriya develops indigenous sensor, navigation and control technologies that enable autonomous systems such as drones, ground robots, spacecraft and underwater vehicles to navigate in environments where GPS signals are unavailable or disrupted.
The company also plans to scale its SynCore navigation controller series and YDX inertial sensors, develop a hardware-agnostic navigation platform, and advance work on high-precision MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes for the NewSpace sector.
“Reliable autonomy begins with a system’s ability to sense motion, understand its state, and control itself,” said Vamshi Bharadwaj M V, founder of Yaanendriya.
Commenting on the investment, Satyadeep Singh of Piper Serica said, “Autonomous systems will define the next generation of defence, aerospace, industrial automation and mobility, but their foundation lies in technologies that enable machines to sense, navigate and control themselves reliably. Yaanendriya’s long-term technology roadmap and execution capabilities gave us the conviction that it can build a globally competitive navigation technology company from India.”
The latest funding is expected to support Yaanendriya’s efforts to expand its indigenous navigation technology portfolio while accelerating the development of advanced solutions for defence, aerospace, industrial automation, mobility and NewSpace applications.
