Gulbahar Taurani, a key figure at Versuni India, emphasized the appliance’s relevance to Indian cooking, stating, “At Versuni, our focus has always been on understanding how Indian households actually cook.” This insight has driven the development of the OneChef, which took one and a half years to perfect, ensuring it meets the unique demands of Indian cuisine.
Targeted at households with limited kitchen space, the Philips OneChef is priced at Rs 19,995 and will be available for purchase starting March 19, 2026. The launch event featured live cooking demonstrations, showcasing the appliance’s versatility and ease of use.
“With OneChef, we wanted to bring multiple cooking techniques into a single intelligent platform,” Taurani added, highlighting the appliance’s ability to consolidate various cooking methods into one unit. This is particularly appealing to younger consumers, as the demand for air fryers and multifunctional cooking devices continues to grow.
The appliance aims to reduce the need for multiple kitchen gadgets, streamlining cooking processes for users. As Philips continues to focus on creating appliances that fit seamlessly into Indian cooking routines, the OneChef is poised to become an essential tool in modern kitchens.
