"My Beauty Is My Smile"
The motto of every Shero at Sheroes Hangout
In December 2014, activist Alok Dixit and the Chhanv Foundation opened a tiny café in Agra — staffed entirely by women who had survived acid attacks. The world tried to silence them. Instead, they opened a restaurant.
Today Sheroes Hangout spans Agra, Lucknow, Noida, and Delhi — employing 35+ survivors who serve food, craft beautiful handicrafts, and share their stories. Café profits fund reconstructive surgeries and legal aid for survivors across India.
Every branch is staffed by Sheroes who welcome you with open hearts.

Prior to working at the café, many Sheroes covered their faces and rarely left home. Today they serve, laugh, teach, and tell their stories with pride — transforming visitors' lives one conversation at a time.
I came here looking for a fresh start. What I found was a family that believed in me before I believed in myself.
Serving a cup of coffee may seem simple, but for me it represents confidence, independence, and growth.
Every day at the café teaches me something new—about people, about work, and about my own potential.
The best part of my job is meeting strangers who leave as friends.
For years, people saw my scars first. Here, they see my skills, my work, and my smile.
This café gave me an opportunity to earn, learn, and create a future on my own terms.
