Sarthi means charioteer

Industrial sites have kilometers of underground and confined space that humans still inspect on foot: dangerous, slow, and mostly undocumented. The robotics industry has answered with platforms that assume connectivity, and so stop where the danger starts.

Sarthi began as eight years of field research on the opposite problem: missions that need nothing from the site. That research produced world-first results. This company exists to turn them into a routine a mine can subscribe to.

Robot platforms from several manufacturers are now cheap enough to treat as interchangeable hardware. Vision-language models can draft an inspection narrative that a human then checks. Mines go deeper each year while the inspection workforce shrinks.

The missing piece is the one we spent years proving in the field: missions that run where nothing else does.
