MiCoB, a Gujarat-based construction-technology startup, won a Rs 30 crore funding commitment on Vande Bharatam, Gautam Adani’s entrepreneur discovery show. It is the season’s largest deal so far.
The commitment came on Episode 7, which aired on September 14, 2026. Flipkart chief executive Kalyan Krishnamurthy and RENÉE Cosmetics co-founder Ashutosh Valani offered the Rs 30 crore jointly.
The show’s panel also included Karan Adani, Managing Director of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd, and Rajeev Kalambi, co-founder and general partner at Cactus Partners.
Karan Adani made a separate offer. He pledged support for MiCoB’s current and future construction projects. That opens a possible path for the startup’s technology to be used across Adani Group infrastructure.
MiCoB was founded by Ankita Sinha, Shashank Shekhar and Rishabh Mathur. The startup has built what it calls a full-stack Digital Construction Manufacturing platform.
The platform goes past robotic 3D printing. It combines printable concrete materials, automated batching, mixing and pumping, robotic deposition, digital planning and quality control into one workflow.
The aim is to turn building work into a factory-style process. MiCoB says this cuts reliance on manual site work and conventional formwork. It also promises faster delivery, less material waste and more repeatable quality.
The technology is already in use across defence, infrastructure and civil projects. Cases include bunkers, retaining structures, modular buildings, hospitality structures and industrial components.
“MiCoB is a clear example of what Vande Bharatam is designed to surface,” Karan Adani said. He called it deep-tech innovation already solving real infrastructure problems on the ground.
Krishnamurthy said the deployment record is what convinced the investors. He said seeing the platform already working across defence, infrastructure and industrial sites is rare at this stage.
What this means for you: A TV commitment is a pledge, not closed funding, so watch for MiCoB’s definitive agreement and the final cheque before treating the Rs 30 crore as raised.
