His love for animals began in childhood. After losing his pet dog to cancer, his grandfather encouraged him to care for stray animals.
At 15, Sai started feeding and rescuing stray animals in his neighbourhood. His backyard soon became a shelter for injured animals.
“I found how they were beaten up and harassed, both physically and sexually, and were left to fend for themselves. This made me realise that I wanted to make a safe haven for animals,” he says.
