Rekise Marine, the Bengaluru headquartered marine robotics startup has raised $9.7 million in a seed round of funding led by Accel and NKSquared, the investment firm of Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath.
This funding round also included participation from Sameer Brij Verma and Sandeep Singhal, Industrial47 and Singularity AMC, alongside the company's founders and several family offices.
Rekise Marine will use the capital to complete the sea-trial Jalkapi, its autonomous submarine, deepen its in-house autonomy software, expand its engineering team across robotics, AI/ML, embedded systems, platform systems integration and naval architecture.
Founded in 2017 naval architect Maitrai Maka, Rekise believes maritime power in the future will be built around low cost autonomous systems.
This startup develops autonomous surface and underwater vessels through a full-stack approach that combines vessel design, systems integration and autonomy software developed in-house.
