30 Apr 2025 CW Team

Founded in 2021 by postgraduate engineers Dhinesh B (CEO), Velmurugan B (CPO), and Kesavaraj S (CTO), Vividobots was born out of a tragic incident involving a painter’s fall. This moment of vulnerability inspired the trio to build solutions with real-world impact. With prior experience at Flipkart, the Air Defence Agency, and TCS, the founders bring deep domain and technical expertise to their mission.

Vividobots is transforming high-rise maintenance using AI-powered robotics to automate exterior painting and cleaning—tasks historically dependent on manual labour and prone to fatal risks. Their solutions offer up to 70% time savings, 50% cost reduction, and 15% lower material wastage.

Currently operational in Chennai, the startup plans to expand to other metros amid growing real estate demand. Recognised as one of the ‘Top 10 Real Estate Tech Startups’ by Mahindra LEAP 2023, Vividobots is also part of the Brigade REAP accelerator portfolio.

“At Vividobots, we are revolutionising how robotics address real-world challenges. Inspired by human resilience, we are building a future defined by safety, speed, and sustainability,” said Dhinesh B, CEO.

Vikram Ramasubramanian, Partner & CIO at IPV, added, “Vividobots is tackling real estate maintenance head-on with robotic solutions that make building upkeep safer and more efficient. We’re excited to support a startup shaping the future of urban infrastructure.”

The Indian market for painting and cleaning services has a Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM) of USD 4.46 billion and a Total Addressable Market (TAM) of USD 178.7 billion. Globally, the SOM is estimated at USD 45 billion with a projected TAM of USD 1.56 trillion, highlighting massive automation potential.
