Case Study: The Akshaya Patra Foundation reduces manual reconciliation by 80% with Automation Anywhere

AI and automation 
 power Akshaya Patra’s mission to end hunger

The Akshaya Patra Foundation, one of India’s largest midday meal NGOs, needed to scale its operations while reducing heavy manual work across donor management, bank reconciliation, vendor KYC, and kitchen-related financial processes. To address this challenge, it partnered with Automation Anywhere and used AI-powered process automation to modernize key workflows and support its mission of feeding children.

Automation Anywhere implemented AI agents to validate transactions, update CRM and ERP records, and flag exceptions for human review, streamlining financial and compliance tasks. The results included an 80% reduction in manual reconciliation, improved compliance, and faster, more accurate operations across 75 kitchens—helping The Akshaya Patra Foundation focus more resources on serving meals to millions of children.
