ANSHULA MULKALWAR IPM 2020 -25 Batch

Consultant, Student

I’m a second-year MBA student with a passion for sparking impactful conversations and driving positive change. As the overall coordinator for TEDxIIMIndore, I’m dedicated to bringing together diverse voices and inspiring ideas that challenge perspectives and fuel meaningful dialogue. I believe in learning beyond the classroom and am excited to create a platform where stories and insights can truly make a difference.

I am passionate about **sports**, where I find both challenge and camaraderie that fuel my drive for teamwork and resilience. I’m equally captivated by **finance and the dynamic business world**, especially how strategic decisions shape industries and markets. My interests also lie in exploring how businesses can **flourish while advancing technology sustainably and in a socially conscious way**, aiming for progress that benefits not just economies but communities and the environment alike.

Preventing animal cruelty is a deeply worthy cause, yet the way we approach it is just as important as the end goal itself. While veganism promotes a vision of compassion and cruelty-free living, its most vocal advocates sometimes turn to extreme methods and messaging, which can push people away from truly understanding the core cause. Organizations like PETA have championed animal rights with great passion, yet their confrontational approach may create resistance rather than inspire change. Finding a balanced, realistic middle ground is crucial. A cruelty-free world doesn’t necessarily require everyone to adopt a fully vegan lifestyle overnight; rather, it involves making thoughtful choices and reducing harm wherever possible. This can mean sourcing more humane products, supporting sustainable farming practices, and spreading awareness in a way that educates rather than alienates. By encouraging progress over perfection, we can foster a more inclusive movement. When people are shown practical steps they can take to minimize animal suffering—without the pressure of “all or nothing” ideologies—they may be more willing to make sustainable, impactful changes in their lives. This idea of attainable, cruelty-free choices is worth spreading because it opens the door to a kinder world, one choice at a time.
