have you heard of AYUSH Apps? Attention all Vegans – Vegan Alternatives is a mobile app created by Ayush Sanghavi, a 15 yr old student from Beaconsfield. Ayush created the app because he found it hard to find food substitutes when he became vegan. The app provides vegans and vegetarians with hundreds of substitutes to the foods that they can no longer eat, or want to replace in their diet. It is available for Android, with iOS coming soon. The app is constantly being updated and Ayush is always looking to improve it and add new features. Ayush told us “Animal rights charity PETA UK awarded me their Compassionate Teen Award for my work on the app. Elisa Allen, Director of PETA UK, said that my app would make it “easier than ever for people to choose cruelty-free meals”. In October, after receiving an email from a colleague of mine at PETA UK, I was invited onto BBC Radio 1’s The Surgery: Tech for Good show. I was interviewed about my app and how I made it. I was then featured in international vegan magazine VegPlanet, based in India. Most recently, Vegan Alternatives was featured in animal rights charity Animal Equality's "Make the Difference" newsletter, a publication distributed to 100,000 students on campuses across the country, and was also featured on TryVeg.com.” Hiya Bucks says: Ayush wrote to us with this request: “I would love to be featured in Hiya Bucks Magazine because I believe that it would be the perfect opportunity for me to raise awareness of my apps and my cause, as well as to inspire others, seeing as my news is local. It would be a great reward for the hundreds of hours of hard work I have put in!” Hiya Bucks magazines are very proud to support AYUSH Apps.
