How We Can Help You
Vikalp is here to support women, queer communities, and marginalized groups in building safer, inclusive lives.
Safe Community Spaces
Inclusive platforms like Chai Chini Café for dialogue, creativity, and solidarity.
Chai Chini Café is a cozy, inclusive space within Vikalp. Here, everyone is welcome—especially members of the queer community. It is a place to relax, to sip chai slowly, or coffee if you prefer—with or without sugar. The choice is always yours. And ours, together, to make this dream real.
