AIRA founder president Harshitha Puvvala said the association’s vision is be to make India the global leader in robotics production and technologies and create a business export path of USD 350M in less than two years.
The not-for-profit body will also work to create and standardize Robotics Education Curriculum, standardized Design technologies and to make India a global Robotics manufacturer. AIRA will also establish a world-class Robotics Centre & Museum in Hyderabad.
The association will also support every Indian Robotics start-up and create a clear path for them in terms of approvals, business growth, opportunities, funding, imports of electronic components, latest production technologies, skill development, educational opportunities, she said.
