From May onwards, we have been introducing you to all the people who work hard to make the GSPCA philosophy of universal friendship and animal welfare a reality, featuring one person a month.

Kajal Srinivasan is a part of Mumbai's growing tribe of intelligent beautiful young people, enamoured with technology, yet strongly committed to social causes. She is a shining example of how to make a real difference to the animals she cares about, not by shouting "murder" from the rooftops, or even by taking them home and nursing them - but just by wielding her craft in computer design and graphics so lovingly for their benefit. She began by designing this website for us last year, and updating it visually every month.

In her words, "When designing the website, I wanted to keep the mustard tree on the home page in mind - the site should reflect the feel of the open branches....a sanctuary where animals/people could come and rest. To my mind the evening sunset represents all of that to me....hence the colour tones. I kept the cream and orange tones which remind me of the images of goan houses etc. The text in the website has been written in a warm friendly way. I feel that instead of showing images of cruelty to animals as other sites do, showing a more positive image of free animals gives hope....rather than this sense of "we must save them or else...."

The website is certainly doing well, thank you Kajal. It has received over 4500 visitors, 10000 page views, and 100000 hits in the first seven months.

Early this year, Kajal offered to develop a TV commercial for us, using only computer graphics. Several senior creative people in Mumbai's ad world have commented appreciatively about it - this now runs on several satellite channels over Asia (download to view).

Kajal has worked on projects for prestigious brands such as Axe, Cadbury's, Shopper's Stop , i-flex solutions, The Lotus Group, Tata Infomedia, Aptech, Hamam, Rhythm House, Hindustan Levers and Advani-Oerlikon. She does a certain number of projects for non-profit organizations and Causes every year, totally free of cost, such as Crusade for Cancer. If you are part of any such organization, and feel that she can help you in any way, please feel free to get in touch with her.
