Pranoti Nagarkar Israni is the Founder and co-Chief Executive Officer at Zimplistic Inventions – the company behind Rotimatic, the world’s first IoT and AI enabled flatbread making machine.
In April 2018, they raised USD30 million in a Series C funding round to expand their vision globally. In 2008, Pranoti quit her job and started working on the first prototype, investing all her personal savings and time to make her dream a reality. Eight years, eleven iterations and thirty-seven patents later, Pranoti invented the first ever fully automated kitchen robot –Rotimatic. The product earned a mention by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in his 2016 National Day Rally Speech. After successfully launching in six markets, Pranoti spearheads the scaling of Zimplistic Inventions, where she is involved in technology, design, marketing and innovation.
