Up⤴ is at the forefront of transforming modern Indian households. As India’s first D2C smart home appliance brand, their maiden product the DelishUp ⤴️, has been designed to change the way we cook and expand our food repertoire. The smart cooking appliance offers 10 inbuilt functions - chop, stir, sauté, whisk, blend, boil, steam, cook, knead & self-clean, along with an integrated smart weighing scale. The onboard 8” touchscreen offers consumers a guided cooking experience, with access to hundreds of recipes from across the world. The Up⤴ app will also allow users to create and share their own recipes and give them access to thousands more as they are built.
