Manish is not just helping personally but also serving as a conduit for people who wish to donate
The global pandemic COVID-19 has unleashed great hardships and unfathomable strife across the world. Apart from affecting the health of people, the deadly virus has created a huge economic crisis all over the world. Several countries enforced lockdown and asked people to stay at their home to break the chain of coronavirus. This left many daily wage workers with no work and no money. Amidst all the chaos, people from various walks of life are helping the people in their own personal capacity. One of those gentle people is Bollywood film producer Manish Mundra.
Manish Mundra is known for producing films like Kaamyaad, Masaan, Newton and others. Manish is regular in doing charity work for people in distress. A day before the Janta Curfew was announced, Manish had pledged Rs 3 crore to secure 70 ventilators for the treatment of those who are affected by the deadly virus.

Manish has inspired others to do the same
Apart from helping personally, he is also serving as a conduit for people who wish to donate but do not have the means to organize the distribution. People have expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Masaan producer for helping people in distress. Some people, inspired by the philanthropic work of Manish have initiated their own efforts to combat the virus.
