What is it?
GreyOrange is an Indian robotics and software company founded in 2011 by Samay Kohli and Akash Gupta. Headquartered in Gurgaon, GreyOrange builds autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), warehouse software (GreyMatter platform), and integrated solutions for e-commerce, retail, and 3PL logistics.
How it works
GreyOrange's flagship product is the Butler — an AMR that lifts shelf pods up to 1,000 kg and delivers them to human pickers. The Butler navigates via QR codes on the floor and is orchestrated by GreyMatter, a real-time warehouse management AI. GreyOrange also offers sortation and palletising systems.
Real-world example
Flipkart's Pune warehouse uses 600+ GreyOrange Butlers. Customers include Walmart, H&M, Active Ants, and DHL. GreyOrange achieved unicorn status with a $1B+ valuation in 2021.
Why it matters for robotics
GreyOrange proves that India can build globally competitive robotics businesses. It is a top employer for robotics engineers and a frequent case study for Indian robotics policy.
