Who we Are
A portmanteau of the words “Robot” and “Loka” (meaning “world” in Sanksrit), Botloka is a Bengaluru‑based robotics company building high‑quality, affordable home robots — bots for all, engineered in India for the world.
Our Vision
Our vision is to automate boring human tasks with everyday robotics, so people can focus on what truly matters.
What we do
We dream of building a fleet of robot helpers to handle the boring chores for you. We’re starting with Jiva, a robovac designed from the ground up for Indian homes: fine dust, hair, kitchen particles and everything in between. Every technology layer—from circuit design, soldering, PCB bring‑up, part design, 3D printed test modules, moulding, assembly, and programming the bot is developed in‑house in Bengaluru.
Go behind the scenes with us - this is where we give Jiva to the robot :)
