An Indian-origin engineer in Singapore who invented an automatic one-minute roti maker machine seven years back has now fetched a second round of investment of $11.5 million from venture firms, a media report said.
 
Pranoti Nagarkar-Israni, a mechanical engineer from the National University of Singapore, came up with a prototype for an automatic roti maker which won her the "Start-Up Singapore" competition in 2009.
 
She later floated a product design company called Zimplistic with her husband to promote the roti maker brand called Rotimatic.
 
The automatic roti maker is smart enough to use its 15 sensors to figure out the ingredients put in it and the measures in which to combine them.
 
The user needs to put in the ingredients in the given containers and press a button.
 
Within a minute, a flat, circular roti slides out of the machine - much like a sheet of paper that comes out of a photocopier.
 
The machine also allows its users to customise the doughballs and flour discs.
