Bengaluru, January 31st, 2023: The Akshaya Patra Foundation, an implementing partner of the Government of India’s PM Poshan Programme, has been certified as ‘Great Place to Work’ by the Great Place to Work Institute for 2023. This is the seventh time the foundation has been recognized for its employee-friendly welfare & well-being policies.

It is a testament to the fact that the Foundation has always stood by its people. Our People First policies introduced right from inception have led to creating a positive work environment which in turn has translated into a motivated & focused workforce, who are committed to achieving the goals of the foundation. We have crossed many milestones during our journey, and we have always recognized our people who strived to make it possible. And hence, we look forward to roll-out more such policies which will help us raise the bar in employee satisfaction.”
