A Place Where Scientific Excellence Meets Compassionate Care

Smt. Nita Mukesh Ambani
The Vedas have taught us the profound philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. Vantara stands as a living testament to this belief. Mukesh and I are incredibly proud of our son, Anant, for creating the world’s largest rescue and rehabilitation centre in Jamnagar. Vantara is where the wounded find care, the voiceless are heard, and nature flourishes in harmony with humanity.
Our Founder
Shri. Anant Mukesh Ambani
I see God in animals and Vantara is my temple. It is born from a belief that every being, no matter how big or small, deserves dignity, care, freedom, and a chance to heal and live. At Vantara, we are not just saving animals; we are healing ecosystems, restoring balance, and redefining coexistence for our future generations.
The Heart Behind Vantara
Nestled in Jamnagar, India, Vantara is home to over 1,50,000 animals across 2,000+ species. Our pioneering initiative focuses on helping rescued animals heal, both physically and emotionally. Ours is a home for those animals rescued from abuse and trauma, serving as a safe haven and a compassionate community built on a spirit of service.
Elephant Welfare Centre
Spanning 998 acres, the Radhe Krishna Temple Elephant Welfare Trust at Vantara is the world’s largest care facility for rescued elephants. Home to more than 260+ elephants, it provides a safe haven for those saved from logging industry, street begging, and circuses. Once chained and deprived, they now roam freely in a natural, wild-like habitat, receiving the right care they deserve.
