Royal Orchid Hotels and Mumbai’s newest Lifestyle Hotel, ICONIQA, partners with Paisa4Plates to launch an Innovative Charitable Initiative.
Royal Orchid Hotels has announced a partnership with Paisa4Plates, a charity initiative founded by Aryaveer Baljee, Youth MP for Hampshire, to launch a voluntary giving program at its hotels across India. The initiative will commence at ICONIQA Mumbai, Royal Orchid’s lifestyle hotel, and is set to expand to other properties.
Under the initiative, guests can contribute 0.5% of their bill to support local charities that provide meals to the homeless, mid-day meals for schoolchildren, and food donations to those in need. Hotels will inform guests about the program through table tents and other communication channels, ensuring transparency and choice.
“We are thrilled to partner with Paisa4Plates to bring this meaningful initiative to our guests in India,” said Shibani Malhotra, General Manager, ICONIQA Mumbai. “This aligns with our core mission to make travel impactful for all. By offering our guests the opportunity to contribute to such a worthy cause, we hope to create a ripple effect of positive change in communities across India.
Aryaveer Baljee, expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating, “Hospitality is about more than just service—it’s about building bridges and uplifting communities. After the success of Pounds4Plates in the UK, I felt compelled to bring this model to India, where the need is immense. Partnering with ICONIQA and Royal Orchid Hotels, brands with a strong and growing presence in India, allows us to scale this initiative and make a tangible difference in the lives of the hungry and homeless.”
Paisa4Plates is based on the Pounds4Plates initiative in the UK and is designed as a low-barrier, sustainable model for hotels and restaurants to support charitable causes. Plans include expanding in collaboration with local NGOs and food banks.
