NEWS | Chef Saransh Goila partners with Fastor to launch #CovidMealsforIndia
/
This platform connects COVID patients unable to cook and who require daily home-cooked meals with home chefs, volunteers, tiffin services, and delivery kitchens who can provide these meals.
Chef Saransh Goila, Founder of Goila Butter Chicken, has introduced a platform, CovidMealsforIndia.com in association with tech company, Fastor. This initiative connects COVID patients who are unable to cook and require daily home-cooked meals with home chefs, volunteers, tiffin services, and delivery kitchens who can provide these meals.
Chef Goila recently curated a pan-India Google spreadsheet that had details of various home chefs, tiffin providers, cooks, and restaurants. This information was crowdsourced through social media platforms, including Instagram and Twitter. Several volunteers who had already curated regional food services lists also contributed to this list.
Talking about this initiative, Chef Goila said, “This is the most precious excel sheet I've worked on in my life and I've worked on many as an entrepreneur/chef. It's not been easy to read messages where kids are looking for meals for parents who are stuck without help or kids who are stuck alone and don't know how to recover solo or an entire family looking for food providers to meet their needs. Someone has diabetes and as a Covid patient wants their meals tailored to help them out.”
He has joined hands with retail-tech company, Fastor for this initiative. The company is helping digitise the whole platform for food suppliers and COVID patients.
According to Karan Sood, CEO and Co-founder, Fastor all state-wise data has been converted digitally on the platform to make the process easy for the users.
Chef Golia has received a lot of support from celebrities and influencers, including actors Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif and Sonam Kapoor. They promoted the initiative on their social media platforms, which amplified its digital reach.
