Our Story
We are a team of passionate activists who started on this journey with the realization that there is an urgent need to make it easier to lead a compassionate, sustainable, and healthy lifestyle. We seek to share knowledge about cruelty-free, feasible alternatives that are better for animals, people, and the planet at large. Understanding the financial struggles that animal rescuers face, we have also made this platform a means to raise funds for animal welfare organizations working at the grassroots level. The funds raised are through donations and the sale of unique handicraft items primarily sourced from India, providing sustenance to underprivileged individuals. Our goal is to forge a path towards making this world a more harmonious and thriving one.

Grant & Social Media Writing
As a longtime animal rights activist and parent to two dogs and two rabbits, I aspire to help as many animals as I possibly can. Over the years, I've participated in several animal rights protests, events, handed out hundreds of fliers, and in the process met hundreds of compassionate activists. I'm happy to join ACW and hope to inspire even more people to make compassionate choices.

Content & Events Lead
A content curator, storyteller, and corporate communications leader by
profession, I am passionate about driving meaningful change – particularly in social impact issues affecting underprivileged and minority populations. My commitment to fostering a healthier, kinder, and more equitable world led me to volunteer with ACW. As a former athlete, health and fitness remain an integral part of my life.
I enjoy creating delicious plant-based meals that nourish my body and mind.
Now, as a parent of two toddlers, I continue to explore creative plant-based
recipes for them while instilling important values such as leading life with
compassion and kindness towards all living beings.
I look forward to collaborating with the ACW team to expand my knowledge
on sustainable and cruelty-free living!
