AI research startup Redrob secures $10 Mn in Series A round Redrob aims to democratize access to AI in India by offering free, unlimited LLM access to students, targeting a core market of 300 million learners, along with professionals and enterprises, particularly in HR and sales. AI research startup Redrob has secured $10 million in a Series A funding round led by Korea Investment Partners, with participation from KB Investment, Kiwoom Investment, Korea Development Bank Capital, Daekyo Investment, and DS & Partners. This round brings Redrob’s total funding to $14 million, including a $4 million seed round raised in 2023. According to the company, the new capital will be used to build its ML architecture aimed at reducing costs by 50x, develop India-focused language models across all 22 constitutionally recognized languages, and expand its AI suite for learning, career development, and workplace productivity. Founded in 2018 by Felix Kim, Redrob offers an AI-driven outbound intelligence platform that combines natural-language search with data from more than 19 sources. Its PeopleSearch tool provides access to over 700 million global professional profiles, supporting lead generation, intent filtering, and outreach. Redrob plans several initiatives, including free Redrob LLM access for all Indian universities in Q1 2026, ongoing discussions with the Ministry of Education for wider student access, an enterprise suite for SMBs and startups, and full multi-language support by the end of 2026. The company said these efforts will strengthen the reach of its AI Suite, particularly PeopleSearch, which helps identify high-intent accounts and decision-makers with data-backed accuracy. “We want every Indian student to have free access to premium AI tools. Today, high-end AI models cost so much that they remain out of reach for most people in India and other emerging markets. Redrob’s breakthroughs deliver significant cost reductions through advanced ML techniques, enabling high-quality performance at a fraction of the cost,” said Kartikey Handa, Chief Operating Officer and head of India operations.

According to the San Francisco-based company, it offers a wide range of recipes across various cuisines and can be tailored to individual tastes. Its robot can autonomously add ingredients, control heat, and adjust spice levels, making it a "private chef in every kitchen."

The startup has priced the robot at $1,500 (around Rs 2 lakh) and is also offering a subscription model to access customised recipes.
