No More Shantabai: Bengaluru Embraces Robot Maids in the Age of Smart Housework
In Bengaluru, India’s tech capital, a quiet revolution is underway inside homes—robotic maids are becoming part of daily life, redefining how household chores are managed. Once seen as a glimpse into a distant future, robotic assistants are now an increasingly common sight, replacing traditional domestic help for many urban families.
The shift reflects the city’s growing comfort with AI-powered technologies. From self-driving cars to smart home devices, automation is rapidly integrating into Bengaluru’s lifestyle. Robotic cleaners, in particular, are finding acceptance not just as fancy gadgets but as practical, efficient solutions for everyday tasks like sweeping, mopping, and even assisting in household management.
Tech Meets Tradition: Bengaluru Adapts
Early adopters are already experiencing a transformation in how they manage their homes:
Abhas and Preeti Abhinav: Opting for Reliability
Tired of the unpredictability of human help, entrepreneur Abhas and his wife Preeti invested in a robot vacuum cleaner. “We got fed up and got ourselves a machine instead of a maid,” Abhas said, appreciating the robot as a cost-effective and reliable alternative. For them, it’s a one-time investment that pays off in long-term convenience.
Upadhyaya: Smarter Cleaning for a Larger Home
Upadhyaya, a senior executive at a US-based startup, found robotic cleaning particularly effective in managing his spacious home. After a few trial runs, the robot adapted to his layout, providing consistent cleaning. “It’s like having a pet, but one that helps keep the house clean,” he joked.
Shivani Das: Performance Over Tradition
After moving from Delhi to Mumbai, Shivani, a former teacher, tried both a maid and a robot vacuum. She quickly noticed that the robot did a far superior job. “I realized the device was actually doing a much better job,” she said, impressed by the precision and efficiency of the robotic solution.
Naveen A.: Uncovering Hidden Dirt
Naveen, an Amazon customer, was skeptical until he saw how much dust his Eufy RoboVac collected. “Even though my house is swept and mopped daily, the robot came back full of fine dust and hair,” he said, amazed by its ability to reach neglected corners.
Charu: Help When It’s Needed Most
For Charu, who was struggling with mobility issues, the robot vacuum provided much-needed relief. “One of mine is immobile right now,” she shared, highlighting how robotic helpers can ease physical strain and support people with health challenges.
