Globally, about 9% of the world’s population — 811 million people — go to bed on an empty stomach each night. Every thirteen seconds, a child dies from the effects of hunger. On the other hand, it is estimated that nearly one third of the food produced in the world for human consumption every year gets lost or wasted. 

In this episode, we celebrate Zohair Diwan. Zohair Diwan is a metal artist  and the founder of the organisation Nobody Ever Sleeps Hungry (NESH). Nobody Ever Sleeps Hungry started with providing food to people in need in some communities in Mumbai and evolved during the pandemic to provide oxygen cylinders, medicines in addition to food. NESH is now a huge community of various stakeholders united by a common purpose. 

We speak about the evolution of NESH from feeing 100 meals to over 100,000 meals, the motivation and the operations to start something like this. We speak about the building of a network and community which replicated the idea of NESH across the entire city.
