4. Problem Statement The Issue of Food Waste & Hunger Every day, restaurants, hotels, and college canteens discard a massive amount of uneaten food . Meanwhile, millions of people in India go to bed hungry , struggling to find a proper meal. According to reports: 74 million tones of food is wasted in India every year. This accounts for about 22% of the country’s total foodgrain output . The economic loss from food waste is approximately ₹92,000 crores annually . Lack of an efficient system to connect surplus food from eateries to those in need leads to unnecessary wastage. Addressing this gap can significantly reduce food waste and fight hunger at the same time.

5. Mission Statement Our Mission: Zero-Waste, Full Plates Create a smart, real-time food redistribution system minimizing waste and feeding those in need. Bridge the gap between eateries and NGOs or individuals facing food insecurity. Promote sustainable, efficient food-sharing using location-based technology. Foster social responsibility among businesses. Transform leftovers into nourishment opportunities.

6. The Urgent Need for a Food Redistribution System Food Waste in India: 74 million tonnes of food are wasted annually in India, which is about 22% of the country's foodgrain output . This results in a loss of approximately ₹92,000 crores each year. 55 kg of food is wasted per capita annually. Hunger & Food Insecurity: 1 in 3 Indians face food insecurity, with 190 million people struggling to get enough food. 27% of children in India are stunted, reflecting poor nutrition due to lack of access to food. Over 200 million Indians suffer from malnutrition. Lack of Infrastructure for Redistribution: Currently, there is no centralized system for redistributing surplus food, leading to unnecessary food waste . 60% of restaurants and canteens dispose of surplus food without any mechanisms for redistribution. The Market Opportunity: The gap between food waste and food insecurity is growing every year. A real-time, efficient redistribution system can address both food waste and hunger while contributing to environmental sustainability . Market Summary

7. The Stark Contrast: Food Waste vs. Hunger and Malnutrition

8. Diagrammatic overview of our Project

9. Solution: Smart Food Redistribution System A real-time platform connecting eateries with surplus food to NGOs and individuals in need using location-based matching. Eateries list surplus food on the platform. Nearby NGOs or individuals receive instant alerts. Food is picked up and distributed efficiently. Ensures food safety and quality with proper handling guidelines. Benefits: Restaurants, hotels, and canteens reduce disposal costs and enhance social responsibility. NGOs access fresh surplus food to serve more people . Low-income communities receive nutritious meals . Local governments support waste reduction and sustainability goals.

10. 🔹 Business Concept 🚀 Core Idea: A smart, real-time platform that connects surplus food from eateries to those in need. 📦 How it Works : ➤ Restaurants, hotels, and canteens list leftover food ➤ Nearby NGOs or individuals receive instant alerts ➤ Food is picked up and safely distributed 💰 Revenue Model: ✔️ Monthly Subscription Plan for food donors (e.g., ₹199–₹499/month based on size/volume) ✔️ CSR Sponsorships from companies seeking high-impact social initiatives ✔️ Freemium Model: Basic listings are free; advanced features (analytics, badge system) are paid ✔️ Government & NGO Grants for scaling and tech enhancement ✔️ Ad space & promotions on the app for ethical brands and sustainability partners

11. Business Concept A tech-driven platform bridging food surplus and scarcity, enabling real-time alerts for quick redistribution. Revenue Model: Subscription fees from eateries, corporate CSR sponsorships, NGO and government partnerships. Scalability: Start localized in urban areas, expand regionally and nationally with franchising opportunities. Sustainability: Reduces waste, lowers environmental impact, promotes social responsibility. Creates a win-win for businesses, communities, and the environment.

12. Business Concept Summary Core Idea Real-time platform connecting surplus food with those in need. How It Works Eateries list excess food; NGOs get alerts; food is quality-checked and distributed quickly. Revenue Model Subscriptions, CSR sponsorships, donations, grants, freemium NGO access, and ethical ads. Impact Supports sustainability, reduces waste, boosts social goodwill, and feeds underserved communities. Surplus Food Listings Eateries list excess food on a user-friendly app. Clear descriptions, pictures, and expiration times ensure transparency. Real-Time Alerts Nearby NGOs or verified individuals receive instant notifications, ensuring rapid response and minimal waste. Efficient Distribution Food is quickly picked up, quality-checked, and distributed, maintaining safety standards while minimizing transit time.

13. 🧠 SWOT Analysis

14. 🧩 Business Model

15. 📈 Scalability 📱 🚀 Pilot Phase (Local Impact): ➤ Launch in metro cities with high food waste (e.g., Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai) ➤ Collaborate with a few NGOs and select eateries for real-time testing ➤ Optimize app and logistics using early feedback 🌍 Expansion Strategy: ➤ Gradual rollout to Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities based on food surplus and hunger data ➤ Partner with delivery startups and local NGOs for regional operations ➤ Use geo-tracking & AI for optimized food pickup and delivery routes 🤝 Partnership Growth: ➤ Government tie-ups (Municipalities, Food Safety Dept.) ➤ CSR alliances with national brands and philanthropic foundations ➤ Franchising model for city-level management in the long term 📱 Tech & Community Scaling: ➤ Launch mobile app in regional languages ➤ Build community of volunteers, student groups, and social activists ➤ Introduce gamified donor recognition, referral systems & impact tracking

16. Technological Implementation We’ve kept our Technological Implementation Simple yet Impactful. Currently we made a mock-up for our website. The functional website will be connecting restaurant, eateries to NGOs to distribute or for individual consumption. This simple and small Implementation will not only make our task easy but also helpful to others seeking for a convenient way of this problem. A prototype (mockup/low-code flow) has been designed for demonstrating the listing, alert, and delivery process. Which is just below: https://v0-smart-food-redistribution-system.vercel.app
