Addverb has developed highly automated warehouses for RIL, Flipkart, HUL, Asian Paints, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, ITC, and Marico. With this investment, RIL will hold around 54 per cent stake in Addverb, becoming a strategic partner.
The Noida-based start-up had earlier raised around $11 million in Series A and pre-series funding round led by Jalaj Dani, co-promoter of Asian Paints, taking its total funding since inception to $143 million.
This funding round will accelerate the company's expansion in Europe and the US and enable it to set up a large robotic manufacturing facility.
The facility will be completely automated and will propel India as a world leader in the robotic sector, said the startup. Addverb also plans to set up an innovation lab with bases in Europe, the US and India.
