Cooking apparatus enhanced by AI technology gaining popularity in India
Upliance AI, an Indian startup, has introduced India's first AI-powered smart cooking assistant, a robotic appliance known as delishUp⤴️. This innovative device, resembling a robot pot, is designed to simplify home cooking by automating various tasks such as chopping, stirring, kneading, blending, and heating ingredients.
Since its launch in 2023, the Upliance AI cooking appliance has gained significant attention, particularly after its appearance on Shark Tank India in 2024. The exposure led to a 243% increase in sales, according to the company [1].
The device is equipped with AI-driven features like ChefGPT, which helps users explore new recipes and cooking techniques confidently. ChefGPT adapts to regional culinary tastes and encourages users to experiment with diverse dishes. The appliance is also designed to democratize culinary experiences and empower younger Indian households to cook more diverse meals conveniently [3].
The Upliance device comes with a scale and kitchen tools like measuring spoons and a spatula. It is connected to a tablet with AI-powered software containing over 500 recipes and customization options. This allows users to easily select and adjust recipes to suit their preferences [2].
The Upliance AI cooking appliance is available for purchase on Amazon India for approximately 28,000 rupees (roughly $319). In the broader market context, while smart cooking appliances with Wi-Fi connectivity, remote control, and preset cooking programs from companies like Bosch are gaining traction globally, Upliance.ai stands out as a pioneer specifically in the Indian market for AI-powered robotic cooking devices [2].
Upliance AI was founded in 2021 by Mahek Mody and Mohit Sharma, both IIT Bombay alumni [4]. Their vision is to make cooking more accessible and enjoyable for people of all skill levels. With the success of delishUp⤴️, it seems they are well on their way to achieving this goal.
