Ankit Sanghavi

When Ankit Sanghavi, a finance professional, saw the thousands of migrant labourers left stranded on the streets of Mumbai with no home to return to due to the lockdown, he decided to volunteer and help them. The 26-year-old has been arranging food for those travelling on Shramik trains to tracking COVID-19 cases in Dharavi. Since May 2021, he, along with a neighbour, has started making and distributing food to homeless people and migrant labourers in Mumbai. While most people stay at home to protect themselves from the virus, Ankit spends over four hours daily distributing meals to over 40 people.
