At a time when most of the country is confined indoors, thousands of Indians are finding simple, yet powerfully effective ways — meal prep, pet care, grocery runs, and social support to name a few — to help friends, neighbours and strangers through the Coronavirus pandemic
“Everyone is looking for ways to help,” says Deepthi Tanikella, a Chennai-based entrepreneur who has been providing home cooked meals to isolating, COVID-positive people in her neighbourhood for the past month. “I came across an Instagram post by Harshini Sridhar, asking if anyone would be willing to cook for patients. I cook for my family everyday, all I needed to do was make some more,” she recalls.
