Foodtech startup Daalchini Technologies is making great strides in the field of intelligent retail by offering automated kiosks, mobility-retail, and smart vending machines in India. The company has successfully placed IoT-enabled vending machines at various sites such as educational institutions, offices, hospitals, and railway stations to provide people with access to fresh healthy meals. “Our vending machines are installed at Reliance, Aditya Birla Group’s Hindalco Plant, the manufacturing units of Samsung, Paytm, government organisations like Niti Aayog, and many startups,” says the company co-founder & CEO, Prerna Kalra.
