Yaanendriya raised a ₹15 crore seed round led by Piper Serica.
The funds will be used to commercialise piloted products and strengthen R&D.
Part of the funds will develop sensors for satellite and space applications.
The company has worked with more than 20 customers.
It signed an MoU with the Indian Army's 515 Army Base Workshop in Bengaluru to supply components and sensors for unmanned vehicles.
Yaanendriya is a vendor to Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL).
Its last quarter revenue was ₹48 lakh.
It targets ₹5.4 crore revenue for FY27 and has an order book of ₹1.5 crore yet to execute.

The round comes as India pushes for indigenous defence technology.
Yaanendriya's products serve drones, ground robots, and autonomous systems used by the military.
The company's MoU with the Indian Army signals growing adoption of homegrown navigation solutions.

Yaanendriya develops inertial measurement units (IMUs), GNSS modules, and wireless I/O systems.
Its product Syncore Nano is a compact navigation stack controller for drones, ground robots, and embedded autonomous platforms.
Syncore Nano uses an STM32-class MCU, redundant IIM-42652 IMUs, ICP-20100 barometer, and BMM350 magnetometer.
It supports PX4, ArduPilot, and custom firmware.
Another product, Syncore U1, is a navigation controller for drones, ground robots, and underwater autonomous systems.
Syncore U1 has an STM32H743 @ 480 MHz, redundant IMUs, barometer, dual BEC rails, and 8 DShot PWM outputs.
The Wireless IO Module with Thermocouple Emulation collects sensor inputs and transmits over Wi-Fi to PLCs.
The YDx-M CB-1-E is a compact 6-DoF Vertical Reference Unit (VRU) for static roll/pitch with 0.8° accuracy.
The YDx-M CB-1-S is a compact 6-DoF VRU & IMU module for real-time roll/pitch using the YQF Fusion algorithm.

Product: SynCore navigation controllers and YDX series of high precision inertial sensors for autonomous robotic platforms
Customers: Robotics, aerospace, defense and space sector applications requiring navigation in GPS-denied environments
How it makes money: B2B hardware and sensor manufacturing for autonomous systems
What sets it apart: Enables autonomous systems to detect motion and estimate position when satellite-navigation signals are unavailable
Operations: 20 customers with products deployed globally in commercial applications
