We believe no food should go to waste while anyone sleeps hungry

Our Story

AnnaJyoti was born in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, when our founder witnessed the stark contrast between food waste at weddings and empty plates in slums just a few kilometers away. That moment sparked a mission: to build a technology platform that connects surplus food with those who need it most.

Starting with a small group of volunteers, we've grown into a pan-India movement. Today, AnnaJyoti empowers thousands of donors, volunteers, and NGOs to work together toward a hunger-free India.

🎯 Mission

To eliminate food waste by connecting surplus to need through technology.
