Instead Of Human Workers, This Indian Firm Offers 8 Lakh Robots

For the recent 20 years, robots have become an important part of the global workforce, doing repetitive tasks instead of human workers.

Being aware of this, a startup co-founded by four entrepreneurs in India is trying its best to leverage robot process automation (or RPA) to change our work environment. Automation Anywhere is its name.

Last year, the startup succeeded in raising Rs 3,827 Crore (about $550 million), the amount which is defined as its biggest ever funding.

As per their USP, they have developed software to support the automation in all processes of the possible workflow. In addition to the software, they have also focused on platform agnostic and researched characteristics of ML and AI. These aim to help them hold the first positions in the robot process automation industry.

Automation Anywhere has been operating for 15 years and made the tech world put their eyes on it thanks to its firstly raising $550 million in 2018. The move of this startup has shown the undeniable role of RPA in the software.

As stated by Automation Anywhere's chief revenue officer, Ankur Kothari, RPA is developing faster and faster. The reasons behind it are due to enterprises' desires to speed up their digital developments.

Automation Anywhere’s robot workers have been entirely digitized. To purchase and leverage such robots in their own systems, companies can access Automation Anywhere's store on its official website.

Among its 8 Lakh robots, they include bots that can do a series of tasks like analyzing images, extracting data inside them, scanning documents, and storing it in libraries. Their tasks clearly becoming more monotonous and complicated.

Kothari uncovered that 30% of robot workers manufactured by Automation Anywhere are being used at Indian firms.

Robot workers have proved their own promising values in every process at any company, such as releasing the labor force, and hence, human workers can have more time to do more complicated work.

This year, with the money as mentioned above, the company plans to hire more than 2000 workers and enlarge its scale of operations to the world. It also hopes to bring robot workers to the largest firms worldwide.
