Dilip Rao isn't supposed to be here.
Serving as CEO of Sharebite, the accomplished immigrant from a small village in India beat the odds not just for his ascent but also despite his blue collar upbringing.

Dilip Rao is our guest on the Digital Hospitality podcast, where he talked about using business and technology to undertake the burden of social good. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast player.

Raised in New York City and public school educated, Dilip Rao was not given the head start many of his high title peers were privileged to benefit from.

Still, that’s not why he’s not supposed to be here.

Years ago, the tech founder suffered a near death experience when he was thrown through the windshield of a car. At the time, Dilip was a successful investment banker that had already beat the odds and accomplished so much.

Almost losing his life led him to ask himself questions he never considered.
“Why am I here and what problem in society do I solve?” Dilip Rao pondered on the Digital Hospitality podcast.
Soon after asking, his mission was settled.

“I’m going to try to figure out how to solve a problem in society and extend this long arm of leverage,” proclaimed the reborn banker.

This all led to the creation of his company Sharebite (https://sharebite.com/).

The Sharebite team was able to grow the business by 400 percent during the pandemic. Now the NYC-based food delivery platform company is planning more expansion as offices are reopening around the United States.

The company recently launched Sharebite Stations, which is a post-COVID compliant solution for "facilitating contactless food delivery at offices." Sharebite also partnered with WeWork to install the Sharebite Stations at their Manhattan headquarters, and was able to donate 15,000 meals to feed hungry children through City Harvest of New York City.

Catering to corporate clients with big budgets and big appetites, Sharebite delivers food to some of the most successful businesses in the game. For every meal ordered, a meal is donated to someone in need.

“We wanted to create a for-profit business with a purpose and a core,” recalls Dilip Rao on Digital Hospitality.

While the charitable for-profit business model has become noticed thanks to companies like Tom's, Sharebite is following in the footsteps of said footwear company to cure hunger domestically while leveraging the tech and revenue of major corporations.
