Cooking is one of the oldest human traditions. It’s how we nourish ourselves, express creativity, and connect with others. But for all the ways technology has changed our lives—how we travel, work, and communicate—why has cooking remained largely the same?
At Nosh Robotics, we asked a bold question: Can a machine truly cook like a human? Not just heat up pre-made meals or mix ingredients, but actually recreate the magic of a home-cooked dish—precise, flavorful, and made from scratch.
It was an audacious challenge. No blueprint, no existing technology to build upon—just a vision and an obsession with solving a problem that had never been tackled before.
Cooking, unlike automation in other industries, isn’t just about efficiency. It’s about heat, texture, timing, technique, and that intangible “human touch.” We had to crack all of it—how to sauté without burning, how to knead dough to perfection, how to master the exact moment to add spices so they bloom just right.
In this talk, I’ll take you through our journey from idea to reality—the engineering breakthroughs, the failures, the food disasters, and the “aha” moments that shaped Nosh. From solving heat control at scale to ensuring a perfect tadka every single time, this is a story of innovation, obsession, and reimagining the future of food.
We didn’t just build a product. We built the future of food.
Imagine a world where cooking is no longer a chore. Where you can have the perfect home-cooked meal, personalized to your taste, ready whenever you want—without lifting a finger.
This isn’t science fiction. It’s happening now. And it started right here, in Bangalore.
Join us as we take cooking into the future—because the next big revolution isn’t just in tech. It’s in your kitchen.
