An end to hunger—a business graduate’s dream.
ANKIT KAWATRA may seem like the typical Delhi youngster with a life of privilege, but the story of this 25-year-old social entrepreneur and Feeding India, a nonprofit he started, is not ordinary.
It began in 2014 when Kawatra attended an extravagant wedding in Gurugram with a menu of over three-dozen dishes. He discovered that mountains of leftovers, which could have fed the hungry, would be wasted.
India is home to 25 per cent of the world’s hungry population. The Global Hunger Index ranks us at 97 out of 118, while ₹58,000 crore worth of food is wasted. Even as these facts stare us in the face, most of us are inured to the issue of hunger. Kawatra, however, decided to do something about it.
