MiCoB, a Gujarat-based construction-technology startup founded by Ankita Sinha, Shashank Shekhar and Rishabh Mathur, secured a Rs 30 crore commitment on Episode 7, aired 14 September, from a panel that included Karan Adani, Managing Director of Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd, Kalyan Krishnamurthy, CEO of Flipkart; Ashutosh Valani, Co-Founder of RENÉE Cosmetics; and Rajeev Kalambi, Co-Founder & General Partner at Cactus Partners
The Rs 30 crore commitment was jointly offered by Kalyan Krishnamurthy and Ashutosh Valani.
Separately, Karan Adani, Managing Director of Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd, offered support for MiCoB’s ongoing and future construction projects, opening a potential path for the startup’s technology to be deployed across Adani Group infrastructure.
MiCoB has built a full-stack Digital Construction Manufacturing platform that goes beyond robotic 3D printing, integrating proprietary printable concrete materials, automated batching, intelligent mixing and pumping, controlled extrusion, robotic deposition, digital process planning and quality control into a single coordinated workflow.
The platform converts construction into a controlled, manufacturing-led process, reducing dependency on conventional formwork and manual site execution, while enabling faster project delivery, lower material wastage and repeatable, scalable quality.
The startup’s technology is already deployed across defence, infrastructure and civil construction use cases, including bunkers, retaining structures, modular buildings, hospitality structures and industrial components. MiCoB positions itself as a technology and execution partner for large infrastructure groups looking to build faster, cleaner and more predictably.
Karan Adani, Managing Director, Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd, said, “MiCoB is a clear example of what Vande Bharatam is designed to surface — deep-tech innovation that’s already solving real infrastructure problems on the ground. Their platform has the potential to change how we build in this country, and we’re glad to back that journey.”
Speaking on the investment, Kalyan Krishnamurthy, CEO, Flipkart, said, “What convinced us wasn’t just the technology — it was seeing MiCoB’s platform already deployed and working across defence, infrastructure and industrial sites. That’s rare at this stage, and it’s why we moved quickly to back them.”
