Partnerships
From our humble beginnings, providing 1,500 free meals to underprivileged children in 2000, Akshaya Patra has
grown to be the world’s largest secular school lunch program, serving 2 million children nutritious meals
everyday to government school children across India. This would not have been possible without the support of
our Corporate, Foundation and Individual donors. We build impactful partnerships with a diverse portfolio of
corporations that share our vision of investing in children and youth. We invite our partners to join our mission by
supporting us in any of the following ways:
