Noida, India (29 July,
2025) : The Chetu Foundation,
the non-profit organization of the global digital intelligence and software
solutions provider Chetu, today announced the donation of seven fully electric
meal delivery vehicles to the Akshaya Patra Foundation, a
non-profit committed to ending classroom hunger in India. The initiative is a
key part of both organizations’ commitment to fighting child hunger while
embracing environmentally responsible practices.
The Chetu Foundation and
Akshaya Patra flagged off the seven electric vehicles (EVs) during a joint
ceremony this month, attended by leadership from both foundations, employees,
and members of the local community. These EVs now deliver healthy midday meals to
thousands of schoolchildren across the Delhi-NCR region, all while reducing
carbon emissions.
“At Chetu, we strongly believe
that sustainable innovation and corporate social responsibility must go hand in
hand,” said Manish Kumar, HR Manager at Chetu. “These electric
vehicles represent our commitment to nourishing young minds while protecting
the planet.”
“We are proud to support a
mission that not only addresses child hunger but also embraces a greener
future,” added Shaili Bansal, Executive Director of the Chetu
Foundation. “These EVs are a symbol of our dual focus—caring for our
children and our planet. We look forward to deepening our impact through
partnerships that create lasting and responsible change.”
The EVs come equipped with
specially designed compartments to preserve food quality, safety, and hygiene
during transport. Each truck will make two trips daily, delivering 3,000 meals,
feeding about 18,000 students, and totaling more than 4 million meals a year to
schools in Delhi, Noida, and nearby regions.
“Chetu’s
support in adding more vehicles to our fleet has made a meaningful difference
in our ability to serve more communities effectively. This is going to
significantly help us in reaching our goal of feeding 3 million children every
day by 2027. We’re proud to have them as a partner in our mission and truly
thankful for their generosity,” said Navin Goel, CEO of the Akshaya
Patra Foundation USA.
This collaboration highlights
how innovation and compassion can work together to solve some of society’s most
pressing challenges. Through this initiative, both foundations aim to spark
greater awareness around eco-friendly operations and the importance of
inclusive nutrition for school-going children.
