Although Club First Robotics Private Limited was only incorporated in 2020, its origin story stretches back to 2006, when founder Bhuvanesh Mishra ran it as a technical group; the move to a self-funded company structure came later. From its Jaipur base, the company now produces AI-driven robots for three quite distinct markets. The Sona series brings humanoid service robots into restaurants and hotels; the Xena range goes industrial, taking on jobs such as fire-fighting and manhole cleaning; and the Krushna tactical combat robot supports defence missions including surveillance and bomb diffusion. SLAM navigation and spine-based balancing technology underpin the engineering, with 98% of the components sourced indigenously. The company is ISO 9001:2015-certified, has deployed more than 40 robots worldwide - among them COVID nurse robots donated through CSR partners like L&T - and posted revenue growth of 187.57% in FY 2023.
