Genpact Partners with Akshaya Patra to #FeedAMillion
Genpact (NYSE: G) a global professional services firm focused on delivering digital transformation, is partnering with Akshaya Patra to fight classroom hunger. Through this initiative, Genpact and Akshaya Patra is providing nutritious and well-balanced meals to one million school students in government and government-aided schools across India. Poor nutrition affects the physical and mental development of young children and is a leading cause of students dropping out of school. Approximately 2000 Genpact employees and volunteers across Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mumbai, Jaipur and Kolkata came together at this event to fight classroom hunger and empower students to reach their full potential. Sasha Sanyal, global business leader, Insurance, Diversity and CSR, Genpact, said, “It is unacceptable that in today’s day and age hundreds of millions of people suffer from hunger. I strongly believe that each one of us can make a positive difference to change this reality. At Genpact, we are volunteering to combat classroom hunger through the #FeedAMillion initiative, so I want to thank our network of volunteers, partner organizations, and employee families for believing in and working towards creating a world free of hunger.”
