How Anant Ambani's devotion to animals inspired Vantara
Since childhood, Anant Ambani has been enchanted by the animal kingdom. In a widely viral Instagram reel by @vantarareliancefoundation, Nita Ambani, Anant's mother, recalls a sweet incident that shows Anant’s obsession with animals.
She narrates how at just two years old, Anant rescued a group of hens from Crawford Market. This early act of kindness and empathy towards animals has remained a constant theme in Anant's life, shaping his profound love for them.
Fueled by his compassion for animals, Anant launched a monumental endeavour to create Vantara, a renowned wildlife preservation project.
