Swiggy launched its “Swiggy Serves” initiative on Thursday, aiming to attenuate meals waste and starvation. The program will redistribute extra meals from companion eating places to underprivileged communities. Swiggy has collaborated with the Robin Hood Army (RHA), a volunteer-driven group, to execute this initiative. The RHA is a volunteer-based, zero-funds group comprising hundreds of volunteers from various backgrounds, together with younger professionals, retirees, homemakers, and college students.
Speaking on the launch, Rohit Kapoor, CEO, Swiggy Food Marketplace shared, “Currently, we’re stay in 33 cities and we plan to take this initiative to extra cities. This is not nearly lowering waste, it is about making a significant impression, making certain that no meal goes waste.” “Through this collaboration, the 2 organisations have set an formidable purpose of offering 50 million meals by 2030, by leveraging know-how to re-imagine meals redistribution,” Swiggy mentioned in an announcement.
Notably, India has practically 195 million undernourished individuals, one-fourth of the undernourished inhabitants of the world, as per the United Nations. In 2024, India’s Global Hunger Index (GHI) rating was 27.3, citing starvation as a major problem. Also, India ranked 105 out of 127 nations within the 2024 GHI. As per United Nations, India wastes 55 kg of meals per head, yearly.
