Mechanical chef is a Bangalore based food product startup, started by Cohan Sujay Carlos. They have successfully crafted a working concept for an automated dish making machine. The equipment is smart and can take your orders while you are away (say while coming back from office), and prepare a dish of your choice with the pre-stored ingredients. I was involved with them for a brief time offering services in design thinking for innovative problem solving and business consulting to take the product to the market.
