The Everyday Changemakers Ft. Chef Saransh Goila, Founder- Goila Butter Chicken & Neysa Mendes, Founder- Good Slice

This Round Is On Me with Gauri Devidayal

When the second wave hit, nobody was prepared for it. And when things got worse, people who had the resources and ability offered help in whatever way possible. Some donated money, some volunteered with organizations, some mobilized resources via social media, and some, like our guests, arranged fresh and healthy home-cooked meals and bake sales for those in need.

It was a situation- grandparents who couldn't cook for themselves, kids whose parents were on duty/hospitalized, people living alone and down with the virus; and so many of them in need of funds for treatment as it involved hospitalization and expensive drugs.

This round, catch Chef Saransh Goila, best known for his brand- Goila Butter Chicken talk about how he crowdsourced data on organizations and individuals willing to provide meals to Covid-19 patients and with help from a friend, launched https://covidmealsforindia.com/ that works across multiple cities in India to ensure home-cooked meals to those in need.

Joining him is Neysa Mendes of the Good Slice brand who channeled her baking skills into raising funds by organizing a bake sale under the hashtag #bakeforindia, and had multiple big and small bakers from across the country join her and raise money in a similar way.

Gauri and the guests discuss the process and efforts that went behind making it a success and the satisfaction thereafter.
