Nosh, a culinary robot built by Bengaluru-based firm Euphotic Labs, has raised a $1 million pre-seed round headed by BITS Spark, with participation from SuperMorpheus and other angels.

Nosh, which was founded in 2018, is an app-driven home cooking robot that autonomously makes a wide variety of dishes such as curries, sautéed veggies, pulao, pasta, and sweets. It employs artificial intelligence to maintain food consistency and taste. Furthermore, Nosh provides taste customization choices to accommodate specific taste preferences.

“Nosh is a new category product, which means there is no product we can directly refer to and learn from. As a result, we go through a cycle of extreme experimentation, failure, evolution, and adoption. This makes the journey of building Nosh challenging yet even more exciting,” co-founder of Euphotic Labs, Yatin Varachhia stated in a press release.

“There has always been a need for cooking robots, right from the industrial revolution, but only mechanical systems were not enough. Now AI is now so evolved that it has become feasible to build robust robots with cooking intelligence to tackle the variability in ingredients and ensure cooking consistency,” said Sudeep Gupta, co-founder of Euphotic Labs.

Nosh has a waiting list of over 2,000 customers and has begun beta trials in Bengaluru. The funding will be used to enhance its engineering, software, and culinary teams, as well as to fulfill pre-orders.
