At the age of four, Ambika Hiranandani was reprimanded by her mother for almost stepping on a snail. That was her first lesson in caring for other living beings. The environmental lawyer, animal rights activist and sustainable development propagator has magnified that lesson ten times over, and now passed it on to so many others in her mission to lend a voice to the voiceless.
Once a student of the Government Law College in Mumbai and University College London, Ambika is currently an independent environmental lawyer, advisor with government organisations like the State Animal Welfare Board of Maharashtra, and a legal and government affairs advisor with Tata Trusts and The Good Food Institute. In the past, she’s worked with Azim Premji Philanthropic Initiatives and People for Animals, setting a rock-solid base for some truly groundbreaking work.
