Aishwarya’s father Sridhar Ranganathan, a member of the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS), used to take her on nature trails when she was young. She said in an interview,
When I was 11 years old when I saw my first big cat in Penchi National Park, I was happy, but also heartbroken after news of the same tiger being poached hit the headlines. It was at that time that I decided to work for wildlife conservation.
In 2018, her debut documentary, Panje-The Last Wetland, aired at DD National, helping preserve Mumbai’s last remaining wetlands.
