Sangam from Sifors is building affordable kitchen robots that do 90% of the cooking work while chatting with you. Students skip meals because they're broke and busy. The real surprise: people bond with the robot as much as they love the food.

Food is fundamental to human existence. As a student, you don't have time, you don't have money. I was struggling with that, eating unhealthy. I wanted to automate some of that. Hi, I'm Sangam. I'm co-founder and CEO at Sifors, and we're building private chefs for everyone. We think a robot is a fancy humanoid type thing, but those could be just microwave type tools that talk with you, that help you cook, be more creative, do 90% of your work. We've been able to cook good food without robot, like delicious, freshly cooked food. But the surprising reaction was from the personal connection that robot expressed. When people talk with the robot and also get to experience the amazing food, that has been really interesting.
