Vending Machine Manufacturers in India: The Makers and Assemblers
A neutral overview of the companies that build, assemble, and operate India’s smart vending machines – who they are, what they claim, and what’s independently verifiable.

The market, briefly
India’s vending machine market was valued at roughly USD 728 million in 2025, with IMARC Group projecting it to reach USD 1.04 billion by 2034. Estimates of unit growth vary by research firm – Next Move Strategy Consulting put installed units at around 358,000 in 2025, forecasting growth toward 736,000 by 2030 – but the direction is consistent across sources: growth driven by UPI adoption, rising office and institutional demand, and a shift from cash-only coin machines toward IoT-connected, cashless units.
Unlike Japan or the US, where vending is a mature, saturated category, India’s market is still forming – which is why the list below includes everything from decades-old industrial manufacturers to venture-funded startups founded in the last few years.
Manufacturer, assembler, or operator – they’re not the same thing
The term “vending machine manufacturer” gets used loosely in India, and it’s worth untangling. Some companies genuinely design and build hardware in-house. Others assemble machines from third-party subsystems – refrigeration units, payment terminals, dispensing mechanisms – under their own brand. And a large share of the businesses people encounter as “vending companies” don’t manufacture anything at all: they source machines from a hardware maker and focus entirely on placement, stocking, and operations.
None of these models is more legitimate than another – a company that sources hardware and specializes in operations can run a better service business than one that manufactures poorly. But it matters when evaluating a vendor: “manufacturer” claims are worth verifying. For what it’s worth, Vendoge is itself an operator rather than a manufacturer – its deployed machines run on hardware from Vendekin Technologies, one of the manufacturers profiled below.
The Companies
Profiles, in no particular order
This is not a ranking. Order here has no bearing on quality, scale, or recommendation. Figures marked “self-reported” come from company websites or directory listings and have not been independently audited.
Daalchini Technologies
Noida · Founded 2017
Founded by former Paytm executives Prerna Kalra and Vidya Bhushan, Daalchini positions itself less as a hardware manufacturer and more as a retail-tech platform – a marketplace connecting D2C brands, home chefs, and cloud kitchens to consumers through its network of IoT vending machines. It’s raised a reported $6.73M across multiple rounds, including a $4M Series A backed by Unicorn India Ventures, Artha Venture Fund, and Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma personally. As of a 2022 funding announcement, the company reported over 850 smart stores across 23 cities, with brand partners including Nestlé, Mars, and Dabur, and enterprise clients such as Reliance, BYJU’S, and government think tank NITI Aayog.
Vendekin Technologies
Pune · Founded 2016
Vendekin describes itself as a hardware-enabled SaaS company: it builds machines under its Omnivend Combo product line and pairs them with vNetra, a cloud platform for remote monitoring and inventory. The company states it holds patents across India, the US, UK, and EU, and reports a presence in four countries (India, UAE, UK, US). It received the Aegis Graham Bell Award for Innovation in Consumer Technology, an award backed by India’s Ministry of Electronics and IT. Self-reported clients include Nestlé, Coca-Cola, Godrej, and Marico. Business filings list annual turnover in the ₹5–25 crore range with 51–100 employees.
Wendor (Wendor Innovations Pvt Ltd)
Gurugram / Delhi NCR · Founded 2017–18
Company records list slightly different founding years across its registered entities, with 2017 and 2018 both appearing in business filings – not unusual for companies that re-incorporated or expanded structure early on. Wendor manufactures under several product lines – Galaxy, Nova, Atlas, and Apollo – and per Tracxn was founded by Harsh Gautam, Lakshit Anand, Vishad Tomar, Ayush Pahwa, and Chaitanya Marwaha, with Anand listed as CEO. Third-party directory Kompass reports over 1,200 installations across 60+ Indian cities, with Coca-Cola and Amul among its cited clients. Funding tracked by Tracxn totals roughly $580K to date.
Vendolite
Chennai · Founding year disputed
Worth flagging directly: Vendolite’s own materials disagree on when it was founded. Several of its pages state “since 2013,” while its registered entity, Vendolite India Pvt Ltd, and other company pages state it was “established in 2022.” We haven’t found a way to reconcile this from public sources – it may reflect a rebrand or a distinction between an earlier venture and the current registered company. Vendolite describes itself as covering manufacturing, rental, retail, wholesale, and franchise models, headquartered in Chennai. Self-reported installation figures range from 3,600+ to 6,000+ machines depending on which of its own pages you read, with cited clients including Infosys, Wipro, Apollo, and Michelin. Company filings list turnover in the ₹25–100 crore range with 101–500 employees.
Vendihalt
New Delhi
A Delhi-based vending brand focused on schools, colleges, offices, and petrol pump placements, describing its machines as “smart, affordable, and eco-friendly.” Vendihalt states it has product-supply relationships with 150+ global brands. Compared to the companies above, there’s meaningfully less independently verifiable information publicly available – most of what’s findable traces back to the company’s own site and listing pages, which is worth knowing if you’re evaluating it as a vendor.
Godrej Vending
Mumbai · Part of Godrej & Boyce
Structurally different from every other entry on this list: Godrej Vending is a division of Godrej & Boyce Manufacturing, the century-old flagship of the Godrej Enterprises Group, rather than a dedicated vending startup. It builds commercial beverage and food vending machines aimed at offices, manufacturing sites, hospitality, and healthcare – backed by an industrial conglomerate’s manufacturing and service infrastructure rather than venture funding.
Vending Updates India (Atlantis)
Delhi · Founded 1996
One of the oldest continuously operating names in this list, predating India’s current wave of app-connected vending startups by two decades. Focused on beverage vending machines, water dispensers, and instant beverage premixes for corporate and institutional clients.
Other named players
Several other companies appear regularly in Indian vending directories and comparison lists, with less independently documented information available: Vendiman (Mumbai-based supplier, also runs a pantry-management service), Vendstop (self-reported founding around 2015, combo and industrial machines), Chevend Technologies (Mumbai, self-reported founding around 1996, customized vending machines), and smaller regional suppliers including We-Vend, VendBox, and Snaxsmart. We’ll expand these into full profiles as we verify more detail. One of the most known International manufacturers of Vending Machines in India is SEAGA. It is famous in USA for its hardware capabilities. It has its Manufacturing Base in Bahadurgarh, Haryana.
Questions worth asking any vending company
→ Do you manufacture, assemble, or resell the hardware? None of these is disqualifying, but the answer changes who you call when something breaks.
→ What’s your actual installed base, and can you name locations? Self-reported numbers vary widely across this industry – ask for verifiable references, not just a figure.
→ What’s your service response time, in writing? A machine that’s down for a week isn’t a machine – it’s a cost center.
→ Who owns the transaction and inventory data? If you’re the host site, you generally want visibility into your own footfall data, even if you don’t operate the machine.
→ What happens if the company shuts down or gets acquired? Worth asking of any venture-funded vendor – this is a young, still-consolidating industry.
