🐾 Tails of Hope Podcast – Episode 2, Finale 🎙️
Guest: Varda Mehrotra – Co-founder, Samayu
Topic: Animal Welfare, Sustainability & Social Justice in India
In this moving finale of Episode 2, we conclude our powerful conversation with Varda Mehrotra, an inspiring changemaker and Co-founder of Samayu — an organization leading the charge for animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and systemic policy reform in India.
Varda’s journey began with a childhood encounter with animal cruelty that left a lasting impact. That moment of helplessness became a lifelong mission to be the voice for the voiceless.
Through Samayu, she has:
✅ Pushed for reforms in outdated animal welfare laws.
✅ Empowered communities to advocate for compassionate practices.
✅ Promoted plant-based solutions to reduce suffering and protect the environment.
But challenges remain:
❌ Outdated laws like the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act (1960).
❌ Widespread factory farming and systemic cruelty.
❌ Public apathy and lack of education on animal suffering.
In Part 2, Varda discusses how lasting change is possible through policy, grassroots activism, and community-driven compassion. She shares how even one voice can trigger meaningful transformation — and that voice can be yours.
❤️ One of the most touching moments of the episode was Varda’s reminder:
“Change doesn’t start with governments or big organizations. It starts with YOU.”
