Anirudh Pai

Founder of Proprio Robotics, Robots to maintain and assemble data centers

Company

Anirudh Pai is listed as a founder of Proprio Robotics. Proprio Robotics is building state-of-the-art physical intelligence to automate the entire data center lifecycle—from buildout to maintenance to decommissioning. There are currently 400,000 unstaffed data center technicians positions in the United States alone, which means the massive compute needs of AI are being bottlenecked by labor constraints. Proprio is solving this by building robots that do it instead, and is deploying data center maintenance robots starting Q1 2027.
