One has simply to shop online through CashKaro.com on any of its partner sites like Jabong, Snapdeal, Paytm, Amazon.in or Dominos, and a cup of tea will be contributed in their name to those in need.

"People are being hard struck by the ruthless cold winds across northern India. These winter-related hardships incepted the idea of #EkCashKaroEkChai campaign, wherein we will be serving 'garam chai' (hot tea) across Delhi-NCR to the needy," said Rohan Bhargava, co-founder, CashKaro.com.
