Who Are We? The world of cooking is one that is skill-based, complex, and time-consuming. With the world advancing forward, we’re still far behind when it comes to the way we solve for our food. So we thought, why not solve this? Nosh is an app-driven home cooking robot that cooks 120+ dishes such as all types of Curries, Sautéed Vegetables, Pulao, Pastas, Sweets, etc. automatically. It uses artificial intelligence to ensure food consistency and taste is maintained. NOSH is built by a team from ISB Hyderabad, BITS Pilani and IISc Bangalore alumni; and consists of ex-entrepreneurs, early-stage members of companies and strategists from startups such as AB InBev, Flipkart, Analog Devices, Broadcom, CRED and Unacademy. We’re a bunch of creators, dreamers, and doers with a knack of never taking no for an answer. We love to question the norm and to find elegant solutions to complex problems. Venturing into spaces that have never been touched before requires a different breed of human beings; the kind that does not fit into a mould. We love discovering new ways to make life easier and while we’re always all hands on board, we also are empathetic believers. We do not wait for solutions to arrive. We put our heads together, pick up a torchlight and search to find it. Here’s a video of NOSH cooking Kadhai Paneer: youtube.com/watch?v=241E7JKXWM0&t=2s
