LeEco joins hands with Akshaya Patra for providing childrens’ midday meal.
In a gesture befitting a socially conscious corporate, LeEco, the internet and technology conglomerate joins hands with Akshaya Patra to support a mid-day meal for two children for every Le Superphone sold (Le 1s and Le Max) on LeEco Day on Feb 25, 2016.
