Brewing Inclusion: The Blind Spoon Cafe's Inspiring Journey

The Blind Spoon Cafe in New Delhi is more than just a coffee shop; it's a beacon of empowerment and inclusion. Operated entirely by visually impaired individuals under Project Dhrishti, the venture is spearheaded by the Softhelp Educational and Charitable Trust, with Mr. Thulasi Raman, a visionary leader, at its helm.

Conceived to integrate technology and training for the visually impaired, Project Dhrishti transforms potential into reality. Here, the workforce doesn't merely support operations—they lead and redefine the concept of work inclusion. This initiative is the brainchild of Aishwarya, who at 19, embarked on a mission to forge inclusive roles through education and tech.

Aishwarya balances diverse responsibilities, overcoming personal and professional challenges to drive Softhelp's mission across cities and districts, impacting over 28,000 lives. Under the thoughtful guidance of Thulasi Raman, the cafe embodies resilience, showing how inclusion enriches communities one cup of coffee at a time.
