We’re Hiring!

Looking for high technology enthusiasts who would like to work on cutting-edge R&D!

Grey Orange is a fast-growing hardware start up that’s disrupting a deeply unorganized industry, Warehousing. We are building an army of thousands of robots (called Butlers and Sorters) to take over the warehouses and distribution centers.

We are currently working with the top e-commerce and courier logistics companies in India, and outside.

We are deeply inspired by Alan Kay’s philosophy that people who want to make really good software, should make their own hardware. And we want to show the world that an awesome, billion dollar hardware company with proprietary technology can come out of India.By the way, we also built India’s first humanoid robot, Acyut, when we were in college.

We are solving a real world problem here, and are a mini-university (we have got Mechanical, Electronics, Computer Science, and Embedded Engineering departments apart from equally interesting Business Analysis, Development and Operations teams). We are venture backed by some of the very best angel investors and venture firms and have an advisory panel of technical experts and entrepreneurs who have led billion dollar companies.
