Funding firm Accel and Zacua Ventures co-led a $20 Mn round in robotics firm Origin, bringing in Unilazer Ventures, Schema Ventures, Z21, and angel investors from Anduril, Skild AI, 1X, and Tesla. Vivin Hegde, Zacua Ventures' co-founder, also joined Origin's board. The capital will fund OG-1 robot deployment, scaling to a fleet and exploring new use cases.
Origin aims to accelerate construction work and automate interior trades for faster, consistent-quality builds. Co-founders Ghaturle, Ashish Daga, and Tushar Makkar launched the US-based startup in 2025, with OG-1 able to complete wall-finishing tasks three times faster than humans. OG-1 operates through a proprietary construction action model, integrating reasoning and navigation systems.
The startup plans to deploy 150 robots by end-2027 and explore pilots in Germany, Sweden, France, and Saudi Arabia. With big investors backing Origin, the global construction robotics market is expected to reach $12 Bn by 2036. Indian startups Pace Robotics and Flo Mobility are also tapping into this space.
