Automation Anywhere Collaborates with Akshaya Patra
In a landmark collaboration, Automation Anywhere, the leader
in Agentic Process Automation (APA), and The Akshaya Patra Foundation, one
of India's leading social impact organisations and an implementing
partner of the government's flagship PM POSHAN programme are
revolutionizing charity operations in India. Leveraging AI-powered
automation, donor engagement processes have been streamlined by up to 70%,
reducing turnaround times from over 20 hours to just 40 minutes
accelerating Akshaya Patra's mission to provide mid–day meals to 5
million children every school day.
Currently reaching over 2.35 million children across 25,000 government
and government-aided schools, Akshaya Patra has already seen tangible
benefits from the partnership. With the support of Automation Anywhere, the
Foundation is transforming key operational areas including donor management,
route optimisation and supply chain workflows to achieve greater efficiency,
transparency, and scalability. These improvements are enabling the
organisation's teams to focus on strategic outreach and relationship-building
efforts.
Commenting on the partnership, Mr. Vinod Sudhakar, Chief
Information Officer, The Akshaya Patra Foundation, said, "At
Akshaya Patra, we view technology as an enabler of purposeful transformation.
Our collaboration with Automation Anywhere is helping us harness the potential
of AI to not only optimise systems but to deepen our service to children
across India. With smarter tools, we are driving meaningful impact at
scale faster, more efficiently, and more sustainably."
"At Automation Anywhere, we believe technology can help amplify
social impact," said Neeti Mehta Shukla, Co-Founder &
Chief Social Impact Officer. "This collaboration stands as
proof that AI-powered automation can fuel meaningful change—helping every rupee
go further, every meal reach faster, and every child be nourished better. It's
about scaling compassion with precision, and building a stronger,
healthier India. We are both privileged and committed to work with a
mission driven organization like Akshaya Patra."
With phase one yielding substantial outcomes, the partnership is set to
advance into AI-driven procurement, enabling direct sourcing from farmers and
local millers and the introduction of Agentic-AI led demand-responsive
production mechanisms to minimise food waste. Further enhancements in delivery
logistics and resource planning are expected to amplify operational resilience
as the Foundation expands its reach.
Akshaya Patra will also leverage real-time data and AI-powered
automation to enhance logistics performance across its fleet of 2,200+ delivery
vehicles operating on 1,500+ daily routes—improving route planning, fuel
efficiency, and operational visibility.
This partnership reflects a shared commitment: leveraging the power of
Agentic AI driven automation and data-led innovation to create a hunger-free,
educated future for children across the country.
