Known for its inclusive employment opportunities for persons with disabilities, Mitti Café, supported by Bajaj Finserv and Zscaler, is reshaping airport environments as spaces of empowerment and inclusion.

At Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru, transformation is happening one cup of coffee at a time with the launch of the third Mitti Café.
