FSSAI ALIGNED HYGIENE COMPLIANCE & AGGREGATOR CHANNEL REVENUE PROTECTION

Rasoi Drishti

AI-powered compliance and revenue protection for India's Food Business Operators

Turn the cameras you already have into 24/7 hygiene compliance and delivery protection — no new hardware, no sales call

THE PROBLEM

7M+ Indian food operators rely on manual logs

Critical Friction

India has 7 million-plus food business operators, and roughly 70% still manage compliance through WhatsApp groups and memory. FSSAI enforcement is tightening, and aggregator platforms are facing organized backlash over delivery-order disputes and deduction practices. Every existing AI-vision compliance company sells enterprise-direct to chains with 100-plus locations — none has built something a single-outlet restaurant or cloud kitchen can actually afford or self-serve into.

What We Do

Rasoi Drishti is an edge AI appliance that connects to a kitchen's existing cameras — no new hardware sale, no CCTV replacement. It runs 24/7 hygiene compliance monitoring (hairnets, handwashing, pest activity) against FSSAI Schedule 4, and on the Premium tier, verifies packed delivery orders before they leave the kitchen — real evidence for aggregator dispute claims. Everything processes locally; video never leaves the premises. Alerts go straight to WhatsApp, because that's where a restaurant owner already works.

Why Now

Three things are converging at once: tightening FSSAI enforcement, organized aggregator-deduction backlash from restaurant associations, and a real gap — the enterprise-focused players in this category structurally can't reach the long tail, because their sales-led motion doesn't work against a sub-₹3,000 monthly price point. That gap is the opportunity.

BUILT

Production-Ready Architecture

This isn't a slide deck stage. There's a validated business plan and 5-year financial model, a fully corrected hardware bill of materials with MeitY compliance built in from day one, and a complete engineering document set — system requirements, architecture specification, AI design document, edge deployment specification, and a 50-plus page engineering bible with a 24-week build roadmap. The technical architecture has been stress-tested against real regulatory and hardware constraints, not left aspirational.
