Abstract While food waste and food insecurity continue to coexist as significant problems in India, there is a need to explore the connection between them and the ways in which this relationship could be enhanced for the benefit of people in dire need of resources. Social entrepreneurship initiatives in the hospitality industry have taken a vital role as a link between food waste producers and those in need. This work aims to investigate the impact of social entrepreneurship initiatives on creating food redistribution supply chain resilience in India. To conduct this research, a qualitative multiple-case study approach is used. Data collected from the secondary source, including journal articles, organisational reports, websites, and other published materials is analysed. In particular, four key initiatives – Feeding India, Robin Hood Army, No Food Waste and Roti Bank – are examined in terms of their business models, approaches to increasing resilience, technologies incorporated into the system, and involvement of communities in the process. It is discovered that, despite the lack of well-developed infrastructure, resilience in food redistribution systems in India lies predominantly in decentralised systems of volunteers, collaboration between organisations and individuals, adaptability to changes in the situation, and high levels of community involvement. Technologies played an enabling role in improving coordination and efficiency of operations. Nevertheless, the existence of certain barriers to the development of a more effective food redistribution system in India still remains true. Specifically, there is a shortage of sufficient cold chain infrastructure, efficient transport services and coordination processes.
