It's called the Rotimatic but is this contraption really going to make chappati making simpler?

Founded in June 2008 and manufactured by Zimplistic Pte Ltd, Rotimatic is the brainchild of Pranoti Nagarkar and Rishi Israni. 

The company says the Rotimatic is designed 'to simplify and change the way people cook by completely automating the entire process' allowing users to spend less time in the kitchen without compromising on health.

The use of AI and IOT makes Rotimatic the first ever device to use advanced robotics in the segment.

Pranoti said, “Eating healthy and staying fit have always been my priority.

"But I realised that following a healthy diet plan was always challenging and time consuming. I wanted to eat healthy home cooked meals but I never had the time to prepare an entire meal from scratch.

"I wanted to solve this problem with the use of technology and that’s when the idea of Rotimatic was born. During the entire design and manufacturing process my vision was to make a device that makes health accessible, easy and convenient”.
 
Rishi Israni, Co-founder and CEO, built the software capabilities of Rotimatic

He said, “We wanted Rotimatic to be smart and versatile. We wanted to leverage the untapped $160 billion kitchen appliances segment and offer a product that would take away the hassles of flatbread making and allow people more time with their families.

"The software capabilities of Rotimatic is one of its kind. 

"It’s the only product in this segment to use IoT and AI making the entire experience pleasurable.

"Our hope is to see a Rotimatic in every kitchen.

"We want it to be a part of people’s everyday life. Just like a washing machine or a refrigerator and we are very well on track for that. 

"With the launch of Rotimatic in the U.K., Australia, New Zealand and Canada, I am sure we will be adding many new members to our Rotimatic family,” 
 
The Rotimatic companion app which is currently used to provide customer suppor aims act as a chef’s assistant, allowing users to turn on and automatically update the device, download new recipes, and more in the near future. 

Since its launch in 2016 in Singapore and the United States, Rotimatic is already said to be making 1 million flatbreads a month. 

Rotimatic is now available in the U.K., Australia, New Zealand and Canada and is priced at around £760 / USD £999 (plus shipping).
