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.
A pioneer in Agentic Process Automation, Automation Anywhere empowers organizations to harness the power of AI-driven bots that work alongside employees to automate complex business processes—improving efficiency, accuracy, and real-world impact.
