Rosa Tech Building Intelligent Co-Workers for High-Risk Jobs

What began as a college side project between two students passionate about robotics at a modest lab in Jamshedpur has grown into Rosa Tech, a deeptech startup redefining industrial safety and automation with intelligent, human-collaborative robots. 

Runner-up at the Dell Entrepreneur Challenge, Rosa Tech is designing intelligent machines to collaborate with humans, not replace them, and enabling a safer, more efficient future for sectors such as manufacturing and defense. 

Rosa Tech’s journey accelerated when one of its early prototypes caught media attention and opened doors to present directly to the top management of Tata Steel. Though the project didn’t materialize due to internal restructuring, the experience validated their idea and laid the foundation for a company focused on solving real-world industrial problems.

The company’s founding vision? To build robotic platforms that not only execute tasks but also perceive, adapt, and work alongside humans in complex environments.

The founders, Rohit Anand and Saket Anand, found inspiration from grim realities observed during early industrial automation work. Workers were performing repetitive, low-productivity tasks in hazardous environments, especially in sectors like mining and oil, and gas.
