Anant Ambani's Vantara team travelled over 3,500 km from Jamnagar to Tripura within 24 hours to assist an elephant and its calf. This happened on Saturday after Vantara, a Reliance Foundation project associated with Mukesh Ambani's youngest son Anant Ambani, received an email requesting aid for the animals in trouble.
According to a video being widely shared on social media, a team of doctors was promptly dispatched from Jamnagar to the Unakoti district in Kailasahar in Tripura. Upon arrival, they provided immediate care to the distressed animals. The swift response was documented in the video, highlighting the team's timely intervention.
The video recorded with a woman's voiceover thanks Anant Ambani and the Vantara team for their prompt response to save the ailing elephant and its calf. The woman can be heard saying how the team reached the Tripura location within 24 hours of her writing en email to them seeking help.
"I want to thank Anant Ambani who has sent his entire Vantara team for this ailing elephant and its calf in Tripura's Unakoti district without any delay. I just mailed them one day ago and the very next day, a team was here from Vantara," she said, adding: "I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who helped me in this matter and supported me in saving this elephant." The video is being shared with #AnantBhai hashtag.
