It all began when Priyank, an engineer by profession, got an opportunity to join a fellowship programme. He has otherwise worked with MNCs for about five years. This fellowship programme allowed him to work in rural India and help communities find solutions to different problems. After working in villages in Odisha, Maharashtra and Gujarat, Priyank felt that there was a lot of vacuum since there were not many young people in India working for social causes. He continued working with the NGO but then he decided to create a space where young people could meet, share ideas, form groups, start up social ventures, and be inspired.
Started in 2013, Nukkad is not just a café but a story of people who have turned their weaknesses into extraordinary strengths. People who were once rejected are now standing tall and earning their living. These extraordinary people perform regular duties like handling the cash counters, serving and helping, with their indomitable spirit. Their smiles and positive energy is what makes the place truly unique.
Yes, you read that right. The chai cafe hires only deaf and mute as well as transgender people as their staff members. This social enterprise serves tea, food, and fulfilling conversations in a beautiful and soothing ambience. The team of Nukkad welcomes its clients very gently. They organize a couple of interesting events for people to enjoy at their Teafe. Noble causes are never left unnoticed and so, this café has been also featured in many T.V. channels and has gathered a lot of media coverage too.
Their vision to serve awesome tea along with creating job opportunities for the differently-abled people is nothing less than inspiring. Priyank says that he also has plans to work with autistic people and also people with special needs. He aims to create equal opportunities for all the people in the society. We’re glad to have people like you!
Wish you a very happy birthday sir!
