At Xera Robotics, our mission is clear and ambitious: to revolutionize inland and coastal water transport with zero-emission, AI-powered electric boats. With India's vast river systems and long stretches of coastal routes, we believe clean mobility on water is not just a necessity but the next big step in decarbonizing transport and supporting the government's vision for sustainable waterways.
Powering Change Through Strategic Partnerships
Our journey towards transforming marine mobility is backed by strong collaborations. Partnering with Cochin Shipyard Limited, India's largest shipbuilding and maintenance company, provides us with world-class expertise in marine engineering and large-scale manufacturing. This collaboration ensures that our vision is not just innovative but also grounded in proven marine engineering excellence.
At the same time, IIMK LIVE, the business incubation center of IIM Kozhikode, provides us with the strategic mentorship, innovation ecosystem, and entrepreneurial guidance to scale Xera Robotics into a global marine technology leader. Together, these partnerships strengthen both our technical foundation and our ability to grow sustainably.
Driving India's Blue Economy
The blue economy is centered on harnessing the potential of oceans, rivers, and waterways for economic growth with environmental sustainability. At Xera Robotics, our electric boats are designed to align with this vision and deliver real-world impact:
- Reducing Carbon Emissions – Replacing diesel-powered boats with clean, electric alternatives.
- Lowering Operational Costs – Offering fishermen, ferry operators, and tourism businesses a more cost-efficient solution.
- Boosting Efficiency & Safety – Using AI-driven navigation and monitoring for smarter operations.
- Creating Jobs & Skills – Building a new workforce in the green marine sector.
By localizing production within India, we aim to reduce dependence on imported fossil-fuel outboards and establish India as a hub for sustainable marine technology exports.
The Road Ahead
The recent funding and partnerships are only the beginning of our journey. At Xera Robotics, we are actively working on:
- Expanding R&D in electric propulsion systems and underwater robotics.
- Setting up manufacturing and assembly units in India.
- Collaborating with state governments and private operators for pilot projects across rivers and lakes.
- Partnering with logistics, fisheries, and tourism industries to implement electric boats in real-world scenarios.
Every step we take is directed towards mainstreaming clean water mobility in India and beyond.
