Every Indian household knows this question: “Aaj Khaane mein kya banaye?”
It comes up before lunch. Before dinner. Sometimes even before breakfast.
Then comes the usual discussion.
“Kal hi toh paneer banaya tha.”
“Bachchon ko yeh pasand nahi hai.”
“Kuch jaldi banne wala batao.”
“Fridge mein jo hai usse kuch bana sakte hain?”
It may look like a small problem. But when the same decision must be made every single day, it quietly takes up time, energy and attention.
That familiar household conversation is what inspired two friends, Ashesh Kapasi and Kashyap Shah to build VeraEaty, India’s first AI-powered meal planning app designed for Indian families.
It Started With a Problem at Home
The idea did not come from a boardroom or a technology trend. It came from their own homes.
Ashesh and Kashyap realized that despite thousands of recipes being available online, the real problem remained unsolved.
People did not always need another recipe.
They needed help answering a much simpler question: What should we cook today?
And the answer was different for every family.
Someone wanted something healthy. Someone wanted something quick. Kids wanted something different. Dietary preferences had to be considered. Families also wanted variety without making everyday cooking complicated.
That is where VeraEaty began.
Meet ChefBot — Your AI Meal Assistant
At the heart of VeraEaty is ChefBot, an AI-powered chatbot that helps families decide meals through simple, everyday conversations.
You can ask:
“Suggest something quick for dinner.”
“What can I make for the kids today?”
“Give me a Jain meal option.”
“I want something different from our usual food.”
Instead of endlessly scrolling through recipes, users can get meal ideas based on their preferences, cuisines, dietary choices and available time.
VeraEaty can also help plan meals in advance and generate grocery lists based on what a family actually plans to cook, reducing unnecessary purchases and grocery wastage.
Small Decision. Big Difference.
VeraEaty is not trying to change how Indian families cook. It is trying to make the everyday decision around cooking easier.
Because saving even a few minutes of thinking, searching and discussing every day can add up to something meaningful over time.
Less repetition. Better planning. More variety. Fewer unused groceries.
Sometimes, the most useful technology does not solve a complicated problem. It solves the small problem you face every single day. For Indian households, VeraEaty wants that problem to be: “Aaj kya banaye?”
Beyond Meal Recommendations
VeraEaty also connects meal planning with grocery planning.
Once meals are planned, families get automatic grocery lists helping reduce unnecessary purchases and improve the chances that groceries are actually used.
But VeraEaty’s larger focus is decision-making.
Indian households often move between regional cuisines, home-style meals, quick breakfasts, kids’ meals and different dietary preferences within the same family. VeraEaty is being designed around that complexity.
Food delivery platforms helped answer “Where should we order from?”
Recipe platforms helped answer “How do I cook this?”
VeraEaty is focused on the question that comes before both:
“Aaj kya banaye?”
And that may be one of the most relatable problems in an Indian kitchen.
