Hes a wellshy;known animal rights activist, the secretary at People for Animals (PFA). But nothing explains Mahendra better than his love for animals.

Since then, Mahendra started providing treatment to all wounded and sick dogs he came across. After some time, somebody told Mahendra about PFA, Indias largest animal welfare organization, chaired by Mrs Maneka Gandhi. Mahendra contacted her and, impressed by the work he was doing, Mrs Gandhi asked him to start a PFA chapter in Ahmedabad. ??? Thus, in 2014, he started the shelter.
