Love Food Hate waste
40% of food goes waste in India
Food worth Rs. 58,000 crore is wasted on a yearly basis
This is dumped in landfills, which produces methane, ultimately leading to ozone layer depletion
This wasted food is enough to feed one third of the poor.

How we are changing lives By doing our bit
Feeding India is a social enterprise founded by the youth to tackle two rampant and interconnected problems in India, that of Food wastage and Hunger. This is done by helping the needy get access to excess cooked food from restaurants and caterers.
Feeding India believes that good nutrition and hunger alleviation leads to better health, well-being, income and education, breaking the continuous cycle of poverty that the vulnerable populations find themselves.We go beyond taking care of the basics and refuse to accept that providing a plate of grains to the hungry is where our responsibility stops
Feeding India is a social revolution. A revolution that’s finally arrived. A movement that has come about to solve nothing out of the blue, nothing completely unheard of, but something we all see and have now come to accept, every day. Join the force; be a part of this wave, for this will take this country by a storm.
Justice will be served, and served hot... in plates

About Feeding India
Feeding India is a social enterprise founded by the youth to tackle two rampant and interconnected problems in India, that of Food wastage and Hunger.
The Problem
India, the second most populous country in the world is sadly the home to the largest undernourished and hungry population in the world. Nearly 1/5th of our people go to bed without sufficient and nutritious food every day. Most suffered, are women and children below five years of age. Almost half of our kids are prone to nutritional challenges and are underweight. It is highly disturbing to note that 3,000 children in India die every day from poor diet related illness. This is happening despite the fact that India achieved a commendable economic growth in the last few decades; and today, it has all the means to eliminate hunger completely.
Our Mission
To become a strong medium investing in solving the problem of hunger by efficiently providing excess edible food to each individual who has been deprived of a day’s meal. Consistent with our philosophy, Feeding India will continue to
- Provide sustained access to nutritious food, for the hungry, enabling social development of the country.
- Reduce the wastage of food and preserve the environment by rescuing excess food and utilizing it efficiently.
- To help minimize environmental footprint by accessing surplus and salvage near expiry date food for disbursement at partner feeding centers and thereby minimizing food wastage.
- To improve the livelihoods and nutritional intake of undernourished children, women and low income groups.
Our ultimate goal is to eradicate hunger by 2025.
