In this inspiring talk, celebrated social entrepreneur Priyank Patel shares his powerful journey of creating NUKKAD—a unique concept that offers dignity, opportunity, and hope to people who have long been excluded from the mainstream. With a deep belief in inclusion with empathy, Patel emphasizes that true transformation cannot be achieved by one individual alone. Instead, it requires society at large to become stakeholders in rebuilding lives.Through stories of resilience and collective action, he highlights how NUKKAD has become more than just a platform—it is a movement where communities come together to support, uplift, and integrate marginalized sections of society. Patel’s mission and vision extend beyond charity; He says overlooking marginalised section of society is actually overlooking the available human resource.This talk is a heartfelt reminder that lasting change is possible when empathy turns into action and when everyone plays a part in shaping a more inclusive world. As an engineering graduate with five years of experience in the IT sector, I discovered my true calling in social development. This realization led me to establish an award-winning chain of socially inclusive cafés in Chhattisgarh, designed to empower marginalized communities, underprivileged youth, and senior citizens.Currently, I am focused on innovating and developing socially inclusive cafés and co-working spaces that go beyond hospitality. These spaces are designed to foster empowerment, inclusivity, and meaningful engagement, while creating sustainable livelihoods for the destitute and underserved.Through my work, I aim to sensitize society about people's rights, enable informed decision-making, and facilitate transformative dialogues that drive systemic change. My mission is to build a sustainable ecosystem of positive social impact—where every voice matters, and everyone thrives.Let’s connect to collaborate on building inclusive solutions for a better tomorrow.
