Hope in a Cup: Empowering LGBTQ+ Inclusion

February 25, 2025

Hope in a Cup: A Bold Step Towards Inclusion & Empowerment

When Synopsys Inc sponsored Hope in a Cup, Hyderabad’s first café run exclusively by LGBTQ+ individuals, it wasn’t just about opening a café - it was about pioneering queer representation in mainstream businesses like the food industry.

We are thrilled to share that Hope in a Cup supported by Synopsys 2023-2025 has generated an impressive ₹1,038,355 in revenue across two financial years!

What started as a unique initiative soon gained traction, inspiring three more corporate sponsors to fund three additional cafes. These cafes don’t just serve great coffee and snacks; they provide employment, visibility, and dignity to queer individuals, making them some of the very few truly inclusive spaces in the city.

Beyond its success as a business, Hope in a Cup has made a qualitative impact:

✅ Visibility for Queer Talent – Creating representation in corporate and entrepreneurial spaces.
✅ A Safe & Inclusive Space – A café where people can be their authentic selves.
✅ Recognition & Support – Corporate leaders, bureaucrats, and VIPs visiting and appreciating the initiative.
✅ Economic Empowerment – Providing employment to 8 LGBTQ+ individuals from diverse backgrounds.

The success of Hope in a Cup isn’t just in its growing presence but in the empowerment it has brought to the community. Its snack boxes have become a corporate favorite, making their way into events across Hyderabad. But most importantly, it has proven that queer individuals, when given the right opportunities and resources, can excel just like anyone else.

This success wouldn't have been possible without the incredible support of our corporate partners. One of them has officially onboarded us, and several others are placing orders!

A huge shoutout to Synopsys under the leadership of Bijay Chowdhury for leading the way and supporting an LGBTQ+ café. Your belief in our mission has paved the way for inclusion, employment, and empowerment.

Our New Project in Collaboration with Synopsys Inc to Establish Kitchen Gardens

July 6, 2024

We are thrilled to announce the successful kick-off of our new project in collaboration with Synopsys Inc to establish Kitchen Gardens in three Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV) Schools - KGBV Sadashivpet, KGBV Kondapur, and KGBV Kandukur as part of the CSR project on July 6, 2024, during Van Mahostav. This initiative is set to positively impact around 1,100 orphaned, semi-orphaned, and lesser privileged girls from rural areas by providing them with direct access to fresh, organic, and pesticide-free vegetables. Our goal is to foster a sense of environmental responsibility, promote sustainable agricultural practices within the school community, and combat malnutrition and micronutrient deficiency by giving them direct access to fresh, organic, and pesticide-free vegetables while enhancing the soil quality. To ensure the long-term success of these gardens, we will conduct sessions on nutrition, health, garden operations, and maintenance for the students. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Synopsys and its senior leadership for their unwavering support and commitment to empowering lesser privileged children through our impactful initiatives.
