What does a 20-year-old medical student do in their leisure time? Most would be occupied with academics, seminars, and practicals, leaving little room for hobbies. However, Ambula Vaishnavi is different. Her dedication to social service and the development of Amaravati has set her apart, earning her the title of brand ambassador for the State capital for the second time.

Vaishnavi and her family have been actively involved in philanthropy. They have donated ₹50 lakh towards the construction of Amaravati and have consistently promoted its development.

Her journey dates back to 2018 when, at a young age, she contributed ₹1 lakh towards Amaravati's development. Her father, Ambula Manoj, donated one acre of land worth ₹25 lakh. Their generosity caught the attention of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, who appointed her as Amaravati's brand ambassador. Hailing from Mudinepalli in Krishna district, Vaishnavi and her father are deeply committed to social service. They have adopted two government schools and a degree college in the mandal.
