Aishwarya Sridhar is a National Geographic Explorer, wildlife filmmaker, award-winning photographer, presenter, and passionate conservationist. I first met Aishwarya during my time at National Geographic and have since come to admire her not only as a trailblazing talent but also as a friend.

I came across Aishwarya when we acquired her groundbreaking film “Queen of Taru” for National Geographic’s Big Cat Week. In a male-dominated field like wildlife filmmaking, it was both surprising and inspiring to learn that the film’s director was a 22-year-old woman.
