AI-powered kitchen robotics startup Posha has raised USD 8 million in a Series A funding round led by Accel, with participation from existing investors including Xeed Ventures, Waterbridge Ventures, and angel investors like Binny Bansal (Flipkart), Asha Jadeja Motwani, and GreyOrange founders Samay Kohli and Akash Gupta.
The funds will be used to deepen Posha's AI capabilities, expand its recipe database, and enhance its user interface, as the company aims to revolutionize home-cooking for modern families.
Founded in 2016 by Rohin Malhotra and Raghav Gupta, Posha—formerly known as Nymble—offers a fully automated cooking experience through its AI-enabled kitchen robot. Once ingredients are loaded, the robot takes over the entire cooking process, leveraging camera and thermal sensors for real-time monitoring and adapting recipes based on individual preferences.
Designed for busy individuals and families, Posha's mission is to make healthy, personalised meals accessible without sacrificing time or taste. Its robot offers over 500 recipes across 10+ global cuisines, encouraging culinary exploration while maintaining the warmth of home-cooked meals.
"Our motivation was driven by the need we saw. I grew up in a culture where love was expressed through home-cooked meals," said Raghav Gupta, Co-founder of Posha. "We wanted to create a solution that doesn't force people to sacrifice their professional careers or health for freshly cooked meals."
Pratik Agarwal, Partner at Accel, noted, "Posha is tackling a persistent problem in modern households: how to get a healthy, home-cooked meal on the table when time is short. Their AI-driven approach is practical, well-designed, and represents one of the first tangible examples of AI directly addressing a genuine human need in a meaningful way."
Currently priced at USD 1,500, Posha's kitchen robot is available for pre-order and includes 50 recipes. Users can also opt for a USD 14.99/month subscription for access to additional recipes, advanced customisation features, and the ability to request new recipes. Shipping is expected to begin later this year.
With this fresh funding and growing consumer interest, Posha is positioning itself at the forefront of AI-powered culinary innovation.

Axiom Space prepares for its fourth mission to the ISS
Axiom Space plans to launch its fourth mission on Tuesday, June 10 — a mission that CEO Tejpaul Bhatia described as 'a little bit of a victory lap.' In addition to being the private space company's fourth mission to the International Space Station, Bhatia said Ax-4 will be Axiom Space's second 'fully national mission' where all the customers are national governments. In fact, the company has also dubbed this mission as one that will 'realize the return' to human spaceflight for India, Poland, and Hungary, who will each have an astronaut on the flight. In addition, Bhatia said this will be the company's first 'break even mission' after losing money on the first three. He emphasized that these ISS missions are 'not our business model' — the company plans to add commercial modules to the ISS that eventually detach and become the free-flying Axiom Station. At the same time, Bhatia said these initial missions bring in revenue and help illustrate the demand for commercial space flight. Plus, they create inspirational 'Apollo moments' for each of the client countries. 'It shows how space is opening up because of commercial companies,' he said. 'For all three countries, this will be their second astronaut ever. And it shows the switch from Space Race 1.0 to Space Race 2.0.' Thus far, Axiom Space's missions have used SpaceX Dragon spacecraft to bring astronauts to the ISS. The company's role, Bhatia said, is to serve as a 'marketplace integrator and broker' that can pull these missions together. As the commercial space industry expands, he predicted that there will be enormous opportunities in continuing to serve as the 'managed marketplace' for space, because 'no one can do this alone.' 'To become multi-planetary, that's not something where one country has all the capabilities,' he added. The prospects for commercial space travel have looked less certain in the past few days, after acrimony between President Donald Trump and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk led Trump to declare he was canceling government contracts with Musk's companies and Musk to respond that he was decommissioning the Dragon spacecraft. (He later seemed to back down.) Axiom Space declined to comment on how the Trump-Musk feud might affect the industry, but when Bhatia and I spoke in late May, I asked him a related question about the political landscape — namely, whether potential budget cuts at NASA and more broadly across scientific research threatened the optimistic vision that he was presenting. 'It's not that government investment will open space, ' Bhatia said. 'They've already done it. [Now] it's the entrepreneurs who will use the commercial platforms to build the bridge to the next stage.' The CEO is actually relatively new to his current role. When we spoke, Bhatia told me it was only his fourth week on the job after replacing the company's co-founder Dr. Kam Ghaffarian as chief executive. (Ghaffarian continues to serve as the company's executive chairman.) But Bhatia — who was previously an executive at Google Cloud — had already spent four years as the company's chief revenue officer. While his career wasn't particularly space-focused before joining Axiom Space, he said that since he was younger, 'when I was daydreaming, it was always about space.' And like any good space company CEO, Bhatia has hopes of eventually traveling to the final frontier himself. 'I would love to go,' he told me. 'I have no doubt that we will all go.'

Jim Cramer Highlights Procter & Gamble (PG) 'Plans to Cut 7,000 Jobs Over Two Years'
We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses. Discussing what is affecting the consumer packaged goods stocks, Cramer mentioned The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) and stated: 'We learned this morning that Procter & Gamble, the unbelievably best consumer packaged goods enterprise on Earth, plans to cut 7,000 jobs over two years. This trimming the workforce would normally have the stock jumping, the market loves cutting costs. It would've been still one more sign that Procter will stop at nothing to keep profitability growing. In a good tape, we would've presumed that P&G is using cheap AI to replace expensive people. But now, when we read the headline, we assume something must be really terribly wrong at the company, and it gets hammered.' Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) provides a wide range of consumer packaged goods across categories such as beauty, grooming, health care, home care, fabric care, baby care, feminine care, and family care, sold under established brand names. A happy couple viewing the products of this household and personal product company in a mass merchandiser store. Overall, PG ranks 12th on our list of stocks that Jim Cramer discusses. While we acknowledge the potential of PG as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
