About AnnaJyoti

Technology in service of humanity. Connecting donors with verified NGOs to create a hunger-free India.

Our Mission

AnnaJyoti exists to eliminate hunger and reduce waste by creating a seamless connection between those who have surplus and those in need. We believe that no food should go to waste when there are hungry people just kilometers away. Through technology, we make donating as easy as ordering food online.

Our Story

The Spark - December 2023

Our founder witnessed excess food from a wedding being discarded while homeless families slept hungry nearby. This contrast sparked the idea for AnnaJyoti.

AnnaJyoti launched in Lucknow with 5 partner NGOs and 50 registered donors. First donation: 30 meals from a birthday party.
