Manish Mundra, 47, Film Producer

In the first week of March, murmurs of Covid-19 had just begun to be heard in India when businessman and film producer Manish Mundra flew to Nigeria, where he heads a petrochemicals company. As he watched Europe keel over, Mundra realised the situation was about to get alarming in India as well. By March 25th, his fears had come true. From thousands of miles away, Mundra decided to help India tide over the crisis. He turned his focus first to the supply of PPE kits to medical warriors and ventilators to hospitals. By May 31st, he had provided 50,000 kits across 60 locations.

“After that we stopped counting. But it is a great satisfaction that we could help when it was needed the most,” says Mundra. Mundra also played a pivotal role in helping migrant workers and many others with dry ration and financial help. After each instance, he would tweet: ‘Let’s do more’. And he did.
