A Bengaluru-based start-up, Freshot Robotics has set up an "idli ATM" in Bengaluru to prepare, package and dispense them in a quick process. According to media reports, the start-up is founded by entrepreneurs Sharan Hiremath and Suresh Chandrashekaran.
A customer posted a video on Twitter, which has since gone viral, in which one can see how the steaming idlis are neatly packaged and delivered within minutes. The video shows the entire process from scanning the QR (quick response) code available near the machine and ordering the food, to making online payment through the code sent to customer's phone, which has to be scanned at the machine.

So Called Dentist marked, "Nice idea...Much needed stuff.. Specially in North where street vendors don't kNow how to make good idlis."x
Madhusudan Thiagarajan questioned that If he runs out of Sambhar and chutney, should he go pay, scan and wait for all the self-imposed trauma?
@yogendralalwani asked if there can be such machines in Mumbai too. "I'd like to invest...does anyone know who invented them?"
