Chuvarbot 2.0, the viral wall-writing robot from Kerala-based startup Tevanova Techtrade, has secured a productisation grant of ₹12 lakh from the Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM). The funding will help the team turn its prototype into a market-ready product. The robot became widely popular after videos of it painting political campaign walls went viral during the Kerala Assembly election season. The machine drew attention because it can automate wall writing, which is usually slow, manual, and labour-intensive.
Chuvarbot 2.0 is a CNC-based wall-writing device developed by doctors-turned-innovators Shakkib Geethanjali and Acsah Peter. The startup is based in Palakkad and is incubated under KSUM. It already has a provisional patent and is being prepared for commercial launch.
According to reports, the robot can complete a 2 to 3 metre wall-writing job in about 10 to 15 minutes, which is much faster than manual work. The company says it is also planning a pricing model based on square footage, travel, and operating costs.
The new grant will support testing, product development, and early market entry. KSUM’s productisation support is meant for startups that have moved beyond the idea stage and are ready to convert a minimum viable prototype into a final product.
The team is expected to launch Chuvarbot commercially by late 2026, and it may follow a franchise model. The funding marks an important step for Kerala’s deep-tech startup ecosystem, where robotics and automation are gaining more attention.
