Paytm and McDonald’s India have joined hands to distribute safe and hygienic food to health care workers serving COVID-19 patients in Mumbai.

The two companies collaborated to distribute close to 600 McDonald’s burgers in a safe and contactless manner to the healthcare workers at a civic hospital in Mumbai recently.

Siddharth Pandey, vice president of Paytm said, “The healthcare professionals fighting on the frontlines of this battle against COVID-19 need all the support they can get during these extraordinary times. We will keep on adding cities where we will supply these kits.”

Arvind RP, Director-Marketing and Communications, McDonald’s (West and South) said, “We thank Paytm for this partnership. These frontline workers are the real heroes who are selflessly working through this crisis to keep us and our families safe. This is just a small gesture to show our solidarity and support for them. We are deeply indebted to these healthcare workers and salute them for their efforts.”

In the last two weeks, McDonald’s has associated with multiple NGOs and organizations across cities like Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Pune, Chennai and Hyderabad to reach out to close to 10,000 frontline workers, daily-wage earners and slum dwellers.
