BACKING AI THAT WORKS
IN THE REAL WORLD
Physical & Embodied AI across Construction · Manufacturing · Logistics · Infrastructure
OUR PURPOSE
Bringing intelligence into the physical world.
The next major wave of AI will move beyond screens and into the environments where the world is built, moved and manufactured.
Nirman backs early-stage founders building Physical AI, Embodied AI, robotics and enabling technologies for industries where software alone cannot solve the problem.
We focus on construction, manufacturing, logistics and infrastructure — massive markets where greater autonomy can reshape productivity, safety and how physical work gets done.
