Daalchini, founded in 2017, has been at the forefront of redefining vending in India. The company has installed thousands of smart vending machines across 80+ cities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These machines support multiple payment options like UPI, cards, and digital wallets, and are monitored remotely to ensure freshness, availability, and safety.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what truly makes Daalchini stand out is its product range. Beyond snacks and beverages, its machines also offer fresh meals, cosmetics, sanitary products, personal care items, first aid kits, electronics, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The company\u2019s AI and ML-based tool, Order for Tomorrow (OFT), predicts demand for fresh food at each location using past sales and customer behavior data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This helps reduce food waste and ensures that every machine is always stocked with the right products.<\/span><\/p>\n
