A passing display board by the new-age hotel reads odd: ‘Sign language spoken here’. At the entrance of this food joint in an upscale Bangalore locality welcomes a host of differently-abled staff. They escort the guests warmly to their table. The well-lit interiors are full of inspirational quotes; the centrepiece features a tree-like structure that adds to the cosiness of the ambience. Welcome to Koramangala’s Echoes restaurant that is being run by a 16-member team who are speech- and hearing-impaired.
