Welcome back to the EP#8 of the Food Safety Genie Collaboration series. In this episode, we have Mr. Sarath Babu Elumalai who discusses his initiative to start 'Hunger-Free' India and a lot more about how this pandemic has affected the food security crisis.

Mr. Sarath Babu is an alumnus of BITS-Pilani and IIM-Ahmedabad.Mr. Sarath has received many awards and recognition, the most recent one CNN-IBN for Young Indian Leader. He's the CEO of Food King which delivers food to institutions and corporate companies. It operates from 5 locations and is one of the fastest-growing start-ups in the catering space.  As of 2018, Food King achieved a turnover of 1.2 million dollars. It is intentionally that i mention the company's financial worth in the end since Mr. Sharath Babu himself has prioritized social responsibility for financial returns. I first came to know of him in 2009 Lok Sabha Elections and ever since i have been following him and his good work through social media.

You can follow him on Facebook - FOOD KING Sarath Babu Elumalai.
