Bahubali Shete CEO of TinyChef on His Journey to 1M Voice App Users and New Voice Commerce Features on Alexa - Voicebot Podcast Ep 201

Bahubali Shete founded TinyChef in 2016 (originally known as
Klovechef) as an IoT-plus-voice interactive cooking experience
and pivoted to an ML-based and software-only solution two years
later. That move led to the company's Sanjeev Kapoor Recipes
becoming the number one Alexa skill in India for cooking and the
default first-party solution for Amazon in the country. TinyChef
Alexa skills are also available in the U.S. and Canada and
recently implemented the new Alexa Shopping Cart beta for
in-skill voice commerce transactions. 


We discuss Shete's journey to 1 million users, the success of his
voice commerce initiatives so far, and the behavior of users when
employing voice apps for cooking and meal planning
activities.
