Eight years ago, standing before a group of people at a college, I found myself in an unexpected situation. I had just finished explaining the idea of integrating robotics education into their curriculum when someone in the audience scoffed and said, “ For the sake of money, you guys will scam with any stupid programs like this? How can a first-year college student learn all these?” It was a question loaded with disbelief, doubt, and rejection. It wasn’t just the skepticism of one person; it symbolized the larger sentiment of a city that had yet to embrace the concept of robotics. The Seed of an Idea in an Unlikely Place Back then, the word “robotics” was almost alien in Vellore, a city known more for its deep-rooted traditions than for cutting-edge technology. Starting Otomatiks was more than just a business decision; it was a vision that I believed would transform education by equipping students with skills for the future. But the road was not an easy one. At every step, there was r...

Growing up, we often heard tales of great minds and young innovators making waves in countries far from home. Names that echoed brilliance and innovation were often celebrated abroad more than in India. This raises an important question: why? Why do so many of our brightest young talents find recognition and opportunity in foreign lands? The Untold Story of Our Young Innovators Is it because we, as a society, fail to celebrate and nurture these young innovators at home? Or is it because robotics and STEM education in India are still seen as optional luxuries rather than essential building blocks for the future? Imagine a child—your own child or a student in your school—filled with curiosity, constructing a simple robot in their living room or classroom. Now, imagine the potential if that spark was nurtured, if that child received the support to not only learn robotics but also develop critical social and entrepreneurial skills needed to take their passion further. Why Robotics Educa...

“Why Otomatiks?🤔” The other day, a school correspondent asked me, “Why should we choose Otomatiks when another vendor is charging less?” It’s a valid question. In fact, it’s something I hear quite often. So, I decided to share the real story behind Otomatiks and why we stand out. 1️⃣ Purpose-Driven Approach: “At Otomatiks, we don’t just teach; we inspire and shape students into future-ready leaders 🌱💡. Our mission is to create socially responsible citizens with a drive for solving real-world problems 🧠💪.” 2️⃣ In-House Manufacturing: “Unlike most, we manufacture our own kits rather than outsourcing 🚫📦. This allows us to ensure quality while bearing the cost of any damages caused during students’ hands-on learning 🤖✨. Their learning experience is our top priority! 🎯” 3️⃣ Strong Trainer Support & Quality Assurance: “With 80+ dedicated trainers, we invest over 65 lakhs annually in their support and monitoring 💼👥. This way, we can guarantee the best quality in every single cl...

In today’s rapidly evolving world, traditional methods of education are no longer enough to prepare the next generation for the challenges ahead. At Otomatiks, we believe in going beyond conventional learning by creating a purpose-driven approach to education. With a vision “to make our students globally recognized by changing the way they think” and a mission “to bridge the gap between academics and the real-time environment,” our purpose is clear—to empower students to become future leaders, innovators, and problem-solvers. But what does being a “purpose-driven brand” mean to us? Let’s explore. Purpose-Driven Education : A Foundation for Transformational Learning At Otomatiks, our core purpose is to make quality STEM education accessible to every child, regardless of their background. We are not just a robotics and STEM training center; we are a movement that aims to transform young minds into leaders who drive positive change. Otomatiks aims at converting education into an experienc...

 In 2015, I found myself sitting across from a long-time well-wisher of Otomatiks Robotics. Despite our strong relationship, she never adopted our curriculum for her school. Since 2011, she tried new robotics vendors every year, only to be repeatedly disappointed. One year, a vendor installed a robotics lab that remained unused after just two months, leading to losses of both money and valuable time. 💸⏳ I was puzzled. 🤔 So, I asked her directly, “After all these years of knowing each other, what’s stopping you from considering Otomatiks Robotics for your school?” Her response was straightforward: “Sathish, you are costly. This year, we bought robotics kits and books at almost half your price.” 💡 Back in the office, I discussed this with my team to understand what exactly sets us apart and why we operate differently. 🤝 Here’s what emerged from that conversation: 1. Curriculum Alignment: 📚 We offer a structured curriculum that aligns with the school’s academics, enhancing ra...
