Collaboration with Bigger NGOs • Strategy for scaling laddos through a bigger organization ( cost understanding for large scale production, infrastructure)

•NGOs like Naandi.org have been touching a million lives through its mid-day meal initiatives.

•It caters to two different age group- (pre-school) and (school goers ) •In order to hit the root cause of malnutrition, we will have to target the laddos to PRE SCHOOL age group, such that children are given healthy diet early on.

•Naandi caters to around 600 villages in India.

Goals/ Scaling with Bigger Organization

Challenges

Collaboration with Naandi Cost of providing 1 meal to each child= Rs 5 ($0.09 ) ( includes Rice, Vegetable, Roti & occasional sweet )

Goals/ Scaling with Bigger Organization

•Naandi has centralized kitchen system in Hyderabad where food item is prepared and then distributed to different cities and villages.

•For the product to be picked up by Naandi, INCREASING THE SHELF LIFE is a must by up to 6 days EXPLORING OPPORTUNITIES 1. What will be the cost incurred in adding laddos to the daily meal?

2. How can we increase the shelf life of laddos? © Design Impact 2012

Collaborating with Green Gold Animation ( creators of Animated Character Chhota Bheem)

Twenty stores across the country sell Bheem clothing, school kits, stationery, apparel and accessories. Twelve of those stores are franchisees and the rest are company-owned and operated. Pepsi uses Bheem to sell Notty, its energy drink for kids. Usha Fans will be using Bheem to launch a new range shortly and John’s Umbrellas has started using Bheem as its mascot for rainwear.

“ Talks are on for Bheem biscuits and even ladoos which are a source of strength for Bheem. Ladoos could be to this

generation of Indian kids what Popeye and spinach were for millions of kids in an earlier time.”
