Tutorials & Tips
4 Min Read
Discover how Plenti is transforming India’s food habits by rescuing surplus food from restaurants and shops, offering it to users at massive discounts — all while fighting food waste and reducing carbon emissions. A smarter, sustainable, and affordable way to enjoy your favorite meals.
In a country where food is celebrated like a festival and shared as an emotion, India ironically also ranks high in food wastage. While millions go to bed hungry, tons of perfectly good food is thrown away every day. At Plenti, we believe it’s time to change that — not just for the planet, but for our pockets too.
🌍 What is Plenti?
Plenti is India’s first surplus food marketplace — a platform that connects restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores, and cloud kitchens with users who can buy surplus but perfectly edible food at jaw-dropping discounts. Think of it like your favourite food, just smarter and more sustainable.
💡 Why Surplus Food Matters (Especially in India)
India wastes nearly 68 million tonnes of food every year (FSSAI Report, 2023). Most of this comes from:
Restaurants that prepare more than needed
Supermarkets discarding near-expiry products
Events where catering overshoots actual consumption
Yet, this food is absolutely safe and edible. With Plenti, we’re giving this surplus a second chance — by redirecting it to value-conscious, sustainability-driven consumers like you.
💸 Save More, Waste Less
In metros like Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Delhi, daily food ordering is a norm. Plenti offers the same delicious food from popular spots — just at up to 70% off. You get to save money, enjoy variety, and help the environment, all in one order.
🌱 Sustainability You Can Track
Every order placed on Plenti reduces CO₂ emissions — because saving food means avoiding the emissions that would have gone into producing, packaging, and transporting new meals. Our app even shows you how much carbon you saved per order. Yes, we’re putting a number on your good karma.

Eco-conscious families who want to reduce their carbon footprint
