Why we started Rabot
Why we started Rabot
We believe in the promise of automation to make life easier and better for all. But the path to a meaningfully automated world is not straightforward and full of disappointing exits.

That’s why we founded Rabot. We want to work with obsession and excellence on automation technology that’s useful today. Traditional automation solutions work great for companies with capital to operate at massive scale — but what about everyone else?

Our story
Channa Ranatunga, is no stranger to the challenges in the supply chain and logistics industry. He spent many years as a pack-and-mail store manager, a solutions engineer for a warehouse automation startup, and even as a split-shift packer. Through these experiences, he witnessed a profound lack of tech solutions that actually worked, which compelled him to do something about it. In late 2018, Rabot was born.
As he gained more insights, Channa teamed up with Isura Ranatunga (brother), a passionate roboticist and ex-Apple engineer, and Sandeep Suresh (childhood friend), a product leader in AI/ML solutions. Together, they developed a Vision AI platform to help streamline the packing process with visibility into warehouse packing operations.
