Mumbai‑based robotics startup Miko raised US$ 10.5 million in a funding round led by American media firm iHeartMedia. The company, which operates in over 140 countries across US, Europe and Middle East, said the fresh capital will fuel product development and global expansion. The raise highlights investor interest in hardware‑led Indian tech firms scaling internationally. Analysts say the challenge will be execution and supply‑chain readiness, especially in the competitive global robotics market.
