Mitti Cafe Promotes Inclusivity for Persons with Disabilities

Starbucks, founded in 1971 in Seattle, has evolved from a single store selling coffee beans to a global coffee culture leader, largely due to Howard Schultz's vision of a café experience. The Malaysian International Food and Beverage Trade Fair (MIFB) will host the Malaysia National Coffee Championship (MNCC) in collaboration with the Malaysia Specialty Coffee Association, aiming to enhance Malaysia's café culture from 2025 to 2027. Additionally, a trend of 'coffee raves' is emerging in India, transforming coffee shops into venues for music events, allowing for a unique, alcohol-free social experience. Meanwhile, the Mitti Cafe in Hyderabad serves as a bridge for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) to connect with the community, providing employment and raising awareness about disabilities. This initiative not only offers a diverse menu but also features handmade products from marginalized communities. The café's approach promotes inclusivity and is supported by various CSR initiatives.
