Located in Hyderabad, India, our #MultidisciplinaryTeam of passionate innovators is constantly researching, brainstorming, and building to push the boundaries of what's possible. We are driven by the belief that the best way to predict the future is to build it. Each day, we are connecting the dots between dreams and reality. In 2017, we picked our first problem “Cooking”. We dreamt of a world where anyone can savor whatever they want, whenever they want, wherever they want. We are actively building products that save hands-on cooking time, reduce effort, and minimize the need for cooking skills with: - Riku (World’s first automatic rice and curry maker), - Semi (A smart induction cooktop), - Klynk Recipes (A personalized food space for chefs, and food influencers), - Klynk App (Collaborative meal planning, grocery list app) We are on a mission to #FreeUpHumanPotential by automating everyday tasks. We are committed to the idea that human creativity and ingenuity should not be wasted on routine chores. Instead, they should be directed towards pursuits that bring joy, fulfillment, and progress. #BuildWithUs as we continue to dream, build, and repeat - to create a future where technology and human creativity work together, a future where everyday tasks are no longer burdensome, and a future where everyone can have more time to focus on what truly matters to them. - a future where technology serves humanity by making everyday life a little bit easier, a little bit more enjoyable, and a lot more exciting.
