History
Engineer Raghav Gupta founded the company in 2017 after experimenting with a robotic arm to replicate home-style Indian cooking.[1] Early prototypes were tested in Bosch's startup accelerator, leading the team to switch from a free-moving arm to an enclosed countertop appliance.[1]
The company first presented its product under the name Nymble at CES 2024. Later, they renamed the company from Nymble to Posha in May 2025 and announced a US$8 million Series A led by Accel.[2]
Product and technology
The Posha robot is roughly the size of a large microwave. Four ingredient hoppers, a spice carousel, and an induction cooktop sit under a top-mounted camera that guides the cooking process through computer-vision models.[3] Users load chopped ingredients, choose a recipe from the built-in tablet or companion app, and the machine dispenses, stirs, and adjusts heat automatically.[4]
Early reviews noted the robot's ability to reduce hands-on cooking time from about an hour to roughly ten minutes, while criticising its US$1,500–1,750 price tag and limited ingredient capacity.[3][4] TechCrunch characterised the product as "a coffee machine for food", highlighting its tolerance for ingredient substitutions.[1] As of 2025[update], the recipe library contained more than 500 dishes across ten cuisines, with new dishes generated by an in-house culinary team and validated through user feedback.[1]
Funding
- Seed and angel rounds (2019–2023) – undisclosed
- Series A, US$8 million (May 2025) led by Accel, with participation by Xeed Ventures, Waterbridge Ventures, and Flipkart co-founder Binny Bansal.[2][5]
