The partnership, which also brings together ACT Grants (a not-for-profit movement created
by the Venture Capitalist (VC) and start-up community in India), Swasth Alliance (a not-for-profit alliance of over 150+ healthcare organisations) and Feeding India (a not-for-profit run by Zomato) and MyGov, (Government of India’s citizen engagement and crowdsourcing platform) aims to help resolve the crisis at hand – oxygen shortage and the rising number of deaths across states by donating oxygen concentrators to public health institutions and NGOs.
United way Bengaluru and all other collaboration partners have funded this initiative. 15000 oxygen concentrators have already been deployed over the last couple of months. Rotary is distributing the oxygen concentrators to hospitals and Covid care facilities, track their utilization, and support more demand for such equipment and redirect it to primary healthcare centers in rural areas as well.
Startups that are invariably aligned to UN 2030 sustainable development goals

On September 25, 2015, during the 2015 Sustainable Development Summit, the 193 member United Nations passed a draft resolution of the 15-year-plan – the 17 goals called the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. These goals come as a cover to the Millennial Development Goals that were charted in 2000.
The world stood in unison and applauded. Even Pope Francis gave his blessing and considers these goals as a sign of hope.
Peter Drucker rightly said
, “Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.” With the goals in place, it is now time to make these goals a reality. According to sources, the goals are said to cost about $5 trillion every year. Does that mean that all the goals, just need money for success? Absolutely not. Every small act of goodness will add up to the impact the world is aspiring for.

Homegrown fashion and accessory labels respond to the need of the hour and offer up to 100% of their proceeds to NGOs
We are in a time of crisis. While at any other time, fashion could have been an escape eight LBDs to match your inner rage and helplessness, perhaps now it seems silly to talk about it in the ways we are used to. Instead, amidst the pandemic chaos, young indie fashion brands have been leading the way with fundraising drives. With online sales actioned, proceeds are being donated to organisations working towards Covid relief.
“The last 15 months have been tough on young brands. Still, given how dire the situation in India is, help is help,” says Gauri Verma of crafts-focussed brand, Jodi. Brushing aside questions on whether the ‘me too’ pressure has been a factor, Karuna Laungani, her partner, adds, “There will always be someone doing something first. What’s important is one is not last.”
