Poorvi, Vaishnavi and Chandana are three transgender women who used to seek alms in the streets of Udupi. They decided to begin a new life and figured out that many tourists have been searching for food late in the night at the coastal town. With the help of Sameekha Kunder, the first transgender who pursued MBA in Karnataka, the trio opened a food stall that sells snacks and food items from 1am to 7 am. Speaking to PTI, the trio said, “All we wanted was a dignified life and we decided to become self-reliant. We found out that there is a huge demand for late night food in Udupi as many local eateries shut early which led the tourists to search for food. Ever since we started our food venture, the response has been heartwarming and it gave a new hope to our lives.”
