Ahar
Bridging Abundance and Need with Every Meal
The problem Ahar solves
Our platform bridges the gap between surplus food resources and communities in need, creating a seamless connection between suppliers and consumers. Whether it’s a hotel, a wedding function, or a hostel mess, suppliers can easily donate excess food to nearby NGOs, shelter homes, and orphanages. They can get access to the excess food given by restaurants or any events nearby to get food from them.
Proximity-Based Matching: Matches consumers with suppliers based on proximity, delivery quality track record, and estimated demand.
Delivery Logistics: Managed by our partners, external contractors like Dunzo, or self-service options for flexibility.
Supplier Features
Post Deliveries: Upload posts specifying food quantity, time, and location for donations.
Accurate Estimations: Utilize machine learning for precise food quantity estimation, minimizing waste.
Consumer Features
Request Food: Organizations can request food based on their needs.
Connect with Delivery Personnel: Choose preferred delivery personnel for efficient and reliable service.
Frequent Waste Insights: Provide personalized suggestions to suppliers on donating frequently wasted food items and with ML models trained with events and festivities around the year.
Challenges we ran into
The biggest challenge was to predict the amount of food each consumer might need on a given day. To accomplish this, we used a fine-tuned BERT model which uses a regression layer to predict the amount of food from any location.
