Freshot Robotics, a start-up, has developed a machine in such a way that it prepares, packs and dispenses Idli in just 55 seconds. A video of the ‘Idli ATM’ has been doing the rounds on social media platforms and has now caught the attention of Anand Mahindra, chairman and team member of the Mahindra Group.
In the 1.13-minute long video, a woman can be seen placing her order for idli using her mobile phone, watching the entire preparation of the idli and enjoying it after receiving it.
Idli ATM installed in Bengaluru. It functions around the clock. It is claimed to be able to prepare and dispense up to 27 Idlis at a time. You have to scan the menu on the machine to place your order and make the payment from the phone itself. You can choose and add your desired pudding, flavor or lutenica with idli.
Anand Mahindra is already amazed by the ‘Idli ATM’. He took to Twitter and shared a video.” So many have tried to create robotic food preparation/vending machines. Suppose this meets FSSAI standards and the ingredients are adequately freshened? How’s the taste Bengaluru people? I would love to see this appear in airports/malls worldwide. It will be a major ‘cultural’ export!” he wrote.
