Welcome to Episode #13 of: The Journey Podcast with Simarpreet Singh (TJWS).
Today's episode features MR.NEEL GHOSE : A Robin Hood for the Modern Age. A former investment banker who co-founded the ROBIN HOOD ARMY in 2014 with the aim of addressing food wastage & hunger simultaneously. RHA operates on a zero-funds model, relying solely on volunteers to carry out their mission. Neel & his team have mobilized thousands of volunteers, known as "Robins," to collect surplus food from restaurants & distribute it to those in need.
The organization's innovative campaigns, such as #Mission1Million and #SpreadTheWarmth have helped them scale rapidly and reach more communities around the world. RHA focuses not only on providing meals but also on building long-term relationships with communities & empowering them to become self-sustainable.
Neel's leadership has been instrumental in shaping the Robin Hood Army into a Global Movement with a presence in countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and more.
Through his dedication and vision, Neel Ghose has shown that with passion, creativity, and collaboration, it is possible to make a meaningful difference in the world.
JOIN THE CAUSE, BE A ROBIN!
