How Addverb Built a Global Intralogistics Powerhouse Serving 25 Countries
When Addverb began operations in 2016, warehouse automation in India was still in its infancy. Most large-scale projects were confined to a few consumer goods giants, and many warehouses remained skeptical about adopting robotics and automation technologies.
A decade later, the Noida-based company is celebrating its 10-year anniversary in 2026 as one of India’s standout success stories in robotics and intralogistics. Addverb has grown from a five-member team to over 1,000 employees, serves more than 300 clients across 25 countries, and operates manufacturing facilities in Noida and Greater Noida.
Growing Alongside India’s Logistics Boom
The Indian warehouse automation market has expanded rapidly alongside Addverb. Currently valued at an estimated $2.1 billion, it is projected to reach $8 billion by 2034. CEO Sangeet Kumar believes the company’s journey perfectly mirrors the industry’s evolution.
“When we started, automation was mostly done by large corporations in consumer goods. Over the years, we have taken steps to educate the market on the benefits of automation and how it helps them in their productivity and reliability,” says Kumar.
In its early days, retail and e-commerce accounted for nearly 90% of Addverb’s revenue. Today, that share has dropped to about 20%, as the company diversified across petrochemicals, electronics, FMCG, new energy, and other sectors. Early success stories helped prove the value of automation, encouraging broader industry adoption.
From Warehouse Automation to Full Robotics Portfolio
Addverb started with core warehouse automation solutions and has since broadened its offerings significantly:
- Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
- Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)
- And more recently, general-purpose humanoid robots
Last year, the company reported annual revenue of around ₹660 crore and is targeting ₹1,300 crore this year. Roughly half of its revenue comes from India, with the rest from international markets.
The company has established a strong global footprint with offices in the US (serving North and South America), Netherlands (covering Europe, Middle East, and Africa), plus branches in the UK, Germany, Denmark, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, and subsidiaries in Australia and Southeast Asia.
Kumar’s long-term vision is ambitious: “In the next 10 years, we plan to be among the top five robotic companies in the world… We serve over 25 countries right now and plan to make that 100 countries soon.”
Betting Big on Physical AI
Addverb has worked with major clients including Reliance, Flipkart, Unilever, and ITC. Beyond hardware, the company has developed industry-specific software that integrates its robotics ecosystem.
As AI transforms robotics, Kumar highlights the rise of “physical AI” — where robots learn from real-world actions, much like large language models learn from internet data. Human movements are recorded and used to train models that enable robots to perform complex physical tasks.
“In the last year or so, this whole area has just exploded, with more than $50 billion invested globally… We are very much part of this wave as we are building our own models, data pipelines, and training methods,” he says.
To fuel its next growth phase, Addverb is reportedly looking to raise $100 million in a possible Series C round, with a significant portion earmarked for R&D and global expansion.
Competitive Edge: End-to-End Solutions
The intralogistics space is competitive, with players like GreyOrange and Hi-Tech Robotics. Addverb differentiates itself by offering complete, integrated solutions rather than standalone products.
“Our USP is that we solve a customer’s problems with complete solutions, not just by pushing a few standard products,” Kumar explains. “We have a wide range of robots and systems, and our software ties everything together. That lets us design exactly what each customer needs and serve many industries in a way competitors can’t match today.”
The Road Ahead
Addverb’s story reflects the maturation of India’s robotics and automation ecosystem — from niche adoption to mainstream transformation. By combining deep domain expertise, continuous innovation, and a customer-centric approach, the company has positioned itself as a key player in the global intralogistics revolution.
As warehouses worldwide embrace smarter, more efficient operations, Addverb is not just riding the wave — it is helping shape the future of physical AI and automated logistics.
From a small Noida team in 2016 to a global robotics contender in 2026, Addverb has truly modified the language of logistics.
