Roll Kaku: How a Food Delivery Agent Became a Lifeline for 400 Children

Pathikrit Saha—better known across the lanes of Kolkata as “Roll Kaku”—isn’t just delivering food; he’s delivering futures.

In the middle of the bustling city streets, Pathikrit rides his delivery bike with something far more valuable than orders—he carries hope. During the Covid-19 pandemic, when cancelled food orders became a common frustration, Pathikrit saw something different: an opportunity to feed both stomachs and minds.

Instead of letting the food go to waste, he redirected it to underprivileged children. What started as an act of kindness became a full-fledged mission—complete with a ‘pathshala’ that now educates and supports over 400 children with meals, school supplies, and clothing. For them, Roll Kaku is more than a delivery agent—he’s family.
