Vacati builds an AI-driven food and beverage intelligence platform that offers real-time pairing recommendations for consumers and a training tool for hospitality businesses. The platform emphasizes explainable recommendations grounded in scientific studies and sensory research and introduces an intra-category pairing engine spanning six domains: food, wines, spirits, cocktails, coffee, tea, and cigars. Vacati is developing a specialised, hospitality-focused large language model to deepen its domain understanding and improve recommendation quality. The company plans to launch a consumer-facing app on the App Store and expand its product ecosystem for both consumers and industry professionals. Vacati was founded by hospitality professional Ravi Shukla and recently raised angel funding to support LLM development and product rollout, with INR 10 lakh explicitly allocated to model training.
