Founder of ‘Sharan for Animals’, a TEDX speaker and an Animal Welfare Officer, AWBI addressed the MBA students

Ms. Sharanya Shetty, Founder of ‘Sharan for Animals’, a TEDX speaker and an Animal Welfare Officer - Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) addressed the MBA students on 2nd Sep 2025 on the topic ‘Co-Existence’. She is the cousin of Mr. Devadas Hegde, Trustee.
From the time she first rescued an injured stray, Sharanya Shetty knew her life would be built around compassion. What started as a single act of kindness grew into ‘Sharan for Animals’, a sanctuary that has been home to over 400 voiceless souls for more than two decades. She has 612 animals at home out of which 130 are cattle who are physically injured.
An entrepreneur and TEDx speaker, Sharanya believes that true change happens when communities come together—for both people and animals. Additionally, she is building diagnostic centres, hydrotherapy units, and mobile clinics so that no animal suffers in silence.
Sharanya believes in co-existence for both human beings and animals. She said – “animals too have equal rights to live in the world that God has created”. For her, animal welfare is not just a profession but a calling. Further, she quoted the incident at Delhi that happened recently and encouraged the students to share their views on the decision taken by the Supreme court. She also made the students aware of the situation we would be in if all the dogs are taken away with the increase of rats and monkeys in the cities.
She also spoke about her contribution to sustainability and the introduction of ‘Gow Kasht’, an eco-friendly alternative to wood made from collected cow dung and the waste flowers from temples. This is mainly used for religious rituals instead of woods.
In her concluding remarks, Sharanya invited students and faculty to ‘Sharan’ to work with her and be with the animals as the experience will be great. She also encouraged the students to team up with NGOs and innovate to help the animals. “Save the habitat. You don’t have to love the animals or take care of them but learn to co-exist with them” she added.
