About the smart kitchen startup that has recently announced its funding
The startup, Soritzy was founded by Sagthi Prakash, Surbhi Guha, Nitin Gupta, Akshay Gupta, and Abhinav Visen, and has its headquarters in Hyderabad, Telangana. The inspiration behind the creation of the startup was that the 21st century saw the rise of global cuisines, different diets, taste profiles, and this, in turn, has increased the expectations of how our food should look and taste. But on the other hand, the kitchen at home, which is the backbone of the daily meals has become a lot of work and dysfunctional, especially for the younger generation.
The result was that the younger generation is dependent on eating outside or half-trained cooks to cook meals. But we all know that it is highly unsustainable as it has a very negative impact on our health, our pockets, and have no idea of hygiene even. Many times the food is not even up to the expectations and there is always an emotional connection missing.
