I am Anup Kalbalia. After working with CodeChef for 12 years, I have joined Mitti Cafe to try and scale what they are doing. I think they are doing some phenomenal work to provide economic independence and dignity to the people with disabilities (PWD).

If you think that is hard enough, what they have taken up during this pandemic is even more challenging. These PWD's are not just living their life of dignity, they have taken a step further to help the other disadvantaged people by cooking and sharing meals with them. It was heartwarming to know that they have already distributed more than 13 lakh meals (termed Karuna meals) since the pandemic started last year!

The single most thing that drives them is kindness! And the question that worries me is "Can kindness scale?" This question is what made me get associated with them. I hope I will find my answers soon.

In the meantime, please check out what they are doing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooGjypwrIr8
