Donatekart was founded in 2016 by Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology alumni , Anil Kumar Reddy and Sandeep Sharma . Reddy initially worked with Goonj , a New Delhi-based non governmental organization , for their relief project during 2015 South Indian floods . Various donations to Goonj were made through Flipkart and Amazon where the donors delivered the required relief products directly to the Goonj collection center . Similar solution was applied by Reddy and Sharma while forming Donatekart where charitable organizations can create campaigns to procure products that are in immediate need to them . Donors may choose the organizations and their required products they want to donate . Donatekart delivers the products to the organizations bringing transparency in donations made to non-governmental organization by replacing monetary donations to in-kind donations . Donatekart is a hybrid of crowdfunding and eCommerce and is the first of its type internationally . The organization 's business model was ranked second during the '' Azim Premji Social Enterprise Challenge '' held in Bangalore , in 2018
