NEW DELHI—Each of the volunteers have experienced COVID-19 closely—they had either suffered as a victim or had a friend or family member fall ill during India’s first or second wave. Each of them decided to not let depression beat them and instead offered to cook for those in need of nutritious, home-cooked meals.
Ankita Sahay, 29, a management professional from India’s IT city, Bangalore, started serving her home-cooked meals after seeing her cousin—who was bedridden, alone, and in quarantine—ailing during COVID’s second wave in April.
