Bharat Jagmohan Mehra and Anant Ambani

Bharat Jagmohan Mehra is a visionary entrepreneur and philanthropist with over 25 years of humanitarian leadership.

He is the founder of Bharat Mehra Strategies, advising top corporates across India and the Middle East.

As chief advisor to Anant Ambani and a consultant to Ajay Piramal, Mehra provides strategic counsel at the highest levels. He also chairs the Radha Meera Trust, dedicated to social welfare and community upliftment.

Mehra explains the mission and mindset behind this pioneering project.

Excerpts from the interview:

Vantara is a large-scale, holistic wildlife conservation and rehabilitation initiative led by Anant Ambani. Headquartered in Jamnagar, Gujarat, and spread across 3,000 acres, its mission is to rescue, treat, and provide long-term care for injured, abused, or endangered animals, both native and exotic. The inspiration comes from Anant’s lifelong passion for animal welfare and his belief in giving voiceless beings a second chance at life.
