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.

🧾 Who Is Plenti For?

  • Students looking for affordable meals

  • Office-goers wanting quick, budget lunches

  • Eco-conscious families who want to reduce their carbon footprint

  • Retailers & food partners who want to cut waste and earn extra

🚀 How It Works

  1. Download the Plenti app

  2. Browse surplus food deals near you

  3. Reserve a meal at a discounted price

  4. Pick it up or get it delivered

  5. Feel good — you just saved food and money!

🥘 The Bigger Picture: Why Plenti Is Not Just Another Food App

We’re not here to compete with food delivery apps — we’re here to complement your food habits. Our vision is to normalize surplus consumption in India. Like thrift fashion and pre-loved goods, surplus food is smart living — both financially and environmentally.

🔚 Final Thoughts

India’s food future is ripe for disruption — and Plenti is leading the way. Join us in building a culture where nothing good goes to waste, and every meal has meaning.
