Humanity has gone through some pretty dark times.
There was a time when we had to fight for our basic rights and dignity as human beings. But over the years, we have come to agree that all humans are created equal, and therefore everyone should have equal rights.

Now it is time that we acknowledge the rights of animals, regardless of their species. It is time to work towards ending the exploitation and abuse of animals for our food, drugs, entertainment, clothing, travel, science, and more.


People
We are a diverse mix of passionate leaders from the corporate and animal welfare sector taking a strategic look at ending all forms of animal harm. With decades of experience in multinational corporations and the development sector,
we believe that doing the most-good means to
minimise the suffering of the most vulnerable viz animals.
We are devoted to the cause of mainstreaming and elevating the animal protection movement in India. We work in collaboration with national and international sector experts and constituents to create impact
