OUR VISION

A café where people with and without disabilities can participate and grow.

GenZ Mug Café is a dream brought to life by Kshitiz Gora, whose experience as a cashier at Mitti Café helped him discover a passion for hospitality and serving people.

Built around Inclusion, Opportunity, Independence and Community, the initiative aims to create a professional workplace where people with and without disabilities can participate, learn, contribute and grow.

THE STORY BEHIND GENZ MUG CAFÉ

A dream shaped by experience, family and purpose.

Kshitiz Gora worked as a cashier at Mitti Café, where he developed a passion for hospitality and serving people.

His dream of opening a café of his own was encouraged by his parents, who believed in his abilities and wanted to help turn that dream into reality.

GenZ Mug Café carries that purpose forward: a welcoming place where people can work, interact and enjoy a café experience—while inclusion is demonstrated through meaningful participation.
