Jash Mota

Yo, you gotta hear about Jash Mota. Dude’s the real deal. He’s a YC S25 guy, and he’s been crushing it in robotics forever. He’s the CEO and co-founder of Flywheel AI – yeah, that startup that’s like Waymo for excavators. Basically, they’re making heavy machinery smarter so it can run remotely or semi-autonomously, which is a big change for construction. They just jumped into YC’s summer batch 2025, so you know they’re on some advanced shit.

But here’s the kicker – Jash’s whole vibe is about moving fast and breaking shit in robotics. Before Flywheel, he was deep in the game building home robots, robotic kiosks for food, and even dev kits that organizations like ISRO use in India. He’s been in the trenches designing stuff that’s practical, expandable, and straight-up original. From what I hear, he’s all about getting products out there fast using semi-autonomous MVPs, which means he’s not into waiting around – he’s about proving concepts quick, making money, and iterating like crazy.

This guy’s process isn’t just about tech. It’s about the hustle to turn ideas into reality, fast. He’s built companies before like Ondigo.in, and he’s always sharing insights – tech writing, teaching, pushing the industry forward. That shows he’s not just in it for himself; he genuinely cares about the robotics community and having an effect.

What I find dope about Jash is how his past experience fuels his current mission. His background in building practical robots and dev kits shows he’s not just some dreamer – he’s a builder, a builder who understands what it takes to scale. His move into heavy machinery with Flywheel? That’s him applying everything he’s learned about robotics, learning, and deployment. He’s not just talking about the future – he’s building it, one excavator at a time.

Bottom line – Jash is a startup guy who’s not afraid to jump into complex problems, break them down, and move fast. His process says he’s relentless, deeply technical, and super pragmatic. He’s about making robotics accessible, expandable, and ready to change industries. No bullshit. Just a dude who’s genuinely about to reshape how heavy equipment works with AI and robotics. And honestly? That’s why he’s someone to watch.
