It started with a plate that didn't need to be thrown away.

SpareShare began in Mumbai some years ago, when Shiven Wagle was fifteen. At the quiet end of a family dinner, he noticed how much beautiful, warm food was left over — and how many people, just streets away, would sit down to nothing.

The gap didn't feel far. It felt like the length of a single walk. He started imagining a network that could carry a meal that distance — with care, and with dignity — and SpareShare grew out of that first thought. What began as a teenager's observation has since become a young founder's commitment.

The model is simple and human. Households and restaurants offer the food they can't finish. Volunteers connect that spare food to a nearby need — a labour camp waiting out a long shift, a low-income neighbourhood, a public space where people gather — and we're building simple tools to make those matches quicker.

Technology helps us move quickly. But the heart of SpareShare is the people — the aunties who cook a little extra on purpose, the chefs who plate leftovers with the same pride, and the volunteers who carry each meal like it's worth sharing well.

The same instinct — that what we can spare should be shared — is also shaping Spare Knowledge. We're planning guided AI videos and quizzes for underprivileged young people aged 12–18, with mentors ready to answer questions and help them see that technology can be a tool they understand, not one that passes them by.

We're in formation, and we're growing on purpose — slowly, warmly, and with a long view toward Mumbai first, and Dubai next.
