In 2017, Raghav Gupta embarked on a mission to address a personal dilemma: he desired the convenience of home-cooked meals he grew up with, without the hassle of cooking or the expense of takeout or a private chef. Turning to robotics, he founded the startup Posha.
Creating a Food Revolution
Posha, a former TechCrunch Startup Battlefield contender, specializes in building countertop robots that utilize computer vision technology to prepare meals. Users select a recipe from a list, input the required ingredients in the specified amounts, and let the machine take care of the rest.
A Coffee Machine for Food
Described by Gupta as a “coffee machine for food,” Posha simplifies meal preparation while allowing for customization. Despite requiring some effort from users in terms of ingredient shopping and preparation, the device significantly reduces cooking time and has garnered popularity among those who cook regularly and seek to streamline their culinary routine.
