upliance.ai — co-founded by IIT-alumni — aims to solve one of India’s most persistent daily hassles: cooking under time pressure. Their flagship appliance automates key kitchen tasks — chopping, stirring, sautéing, heating — and supports hundreds of guided recipes across Indian and global cuisines. The idea: you pick a meal, add ingredients, and the device — using its built-in AI engine — manages the cooking steps, so even a beginner can get home-cooked food without fuss.

The company recently rolled out upliance 2.0, a major upgrade: cooking is 40% faster, a glass lid and “virtual-flame” indicator mimic traditional stove-cooking cues, and a built-in scale with macro tracking helps health-conscious users monitor nutrition. The 750+ recipe library now includes tailored options like low-oil, protein-rich, kid-friendly and diet-specific meals.

upliance.ai has struck a chord with urban singles, nuclear families and working professionals who want healthy food but lack time or cooking confidence. With meals cooked thousands of times already and growing traction in metro and Tier-1 cities, the startup is betting that smart, AI-driven cooking devices could redefine how modern Indians eat at home — offering a blend of convenience, consistency, and wholesome meals.
