Inside Aahar 2025: Moments That Mattered

AAHAR 2025: How India’s F&B Industry is Fast-Tracking its Tech Game  

It’s been just over a month since Aahar 2025, and the reflections are clearer than ever. From forging new partnerships to showcasing some of our most innovative tech to date, the event was both a success and a learning experience. With every conversation, demo, and curious visitor at our booth, we gained deeper insights into what the industry needs — and where it's headed.

Now that we’ve had time to digest the momentum and map out next steps, here’s a quick look back at what made Aahar 2025 so impactful for us at Cyntra.ai.

We never thought tech could do so much for us. 
Here's a candid takeaway from one of the many conversations we had at AAHAR 2025. 

That one sentence pretty much sums up the why behind our presence at this year’s AAHAR, International Food & Hospitality Fair 2025, held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, India.

As a growing technology solutions partner in the food & beverage space, Cyntra showed up with one mission: to help India’s F&B businesses experience what technology can do for their operations, customer journeys, and long-term growth. 

Key Takeaway #1: F&B Businesses Want More Than Just Speed; They Want Smart, Scalable Tech.

This year, the buzz wasn’t just about going digital. It was about using the right technology to solve real, operational problems, from order delays to poor personalization to high labor costs. 
From fast food chains to fine-dining restaurants, from QSRs to regional cafés, everyone had the same question: “How do I use tech without disrupting my workflow?” 

Our answer: Plug-and-play simplicity. No learning curve. Real results. 

BREEZE-ing Through: Our AI-powered, Self-Ordering Kiosk Was the Star of the Show. 

• Voice-enabled ordering 

• Smart upselling based on customer preferences 

• Contactless payments and intuitive UI 

F&B brands, especially from tier-2 cities, loved how it blended convenience with experience. And here's the kicker: 

Businesses saw how BREEZE could cut queues, boost order accuracy, and reduce the need for large staff teams and training, all while enhancing the customer experience. 

Key Takeaway #2: Tech Isn't a Luxury Anymore, It's an Expectation.

Whether it was our QR code-based menu ordering, digital signage displays (SIGNA), or real-time analytics dashboards, every visitor echoed a similar thought: 

“This is exactly what we’ve been looking for: something that fits right into our setup and delivers value.” 

In 2025, tech adoption isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s the price of staying relevant. 

Real Conversations, Real Concerns 

Many F&B businesses we met weren’t sold just on cool features. They were worried about: 

• Disruption to existing systems 

• ROI on new tech investments 

• Employee training & adoption 

• Lost opportunities 

And that's where we stepped in with: 

• Modular solutions 

• Seamless integrations 

• Minimal training time 

• Transparent pricing with proven ROI 

Trends That Emerged from AAHAR 2025: 

• Rise of Cloud Kitchens – agility is becoming key to survival 

• Hyper-Personalized Dining – tech is enabling bespoke customer experiences 

• Sustainable Operations – smart inventory and digital menus are in demand 

• Shift of Order Responsibility to Customers – freeing up staff to focus on fulfillment, not order-taking 

F&B decision-makers aren’t just thinking about today—they’re building for tomorrow. And digital is no longer optional. 

Key Takeaway #3: The Future of F&B in India Is Tech-Powered (And Human-Led). 

What stood out at AAHAR 2025 was this: Indian F&B brands are ready to innovate, but they want partners, not just products. 

At Cyntra, we’re not here to sell systems. We’re here to co-create success stories. 
Whether it’s with a multi-outlet franchise or a local family-run restaurant, our solutions are built to scale with you.
