Steaming Idlis serving out of an ATM? Yes, it's true! Now you can order Idli-Chutney-Sambar through a fully-automated and contactless process.
The machine known as Idli-bot or Idli-ATM is a product of the start-up Freshot Robotics, founded by Bengaluru-based entrepreneurs Sharan Hiremath and Suresh Chandrashekaran.
The founders have claimed their bot to be the first fully automated cooking and vending service for South Indian delicacies. With a presence in two locations in Bengaluru, the duo plans to set up the machines at offices, railway stations and airports.
Have you come across an #IdliATM in Bengaluru yet?
