Board of Trustees
Rajesh Kishanpuriya, Managing Trustee
Rajesh's journey with cow welfare began in 2008, as a volunteer supporting animal welfare NGOs long before it became his life's work. That early commitment grew into Save Cows India Charitable Trust, which he formally established in 2019 to raise awareness about the place of cows in Indian culture and religion, and to promote organic farming through cow dung and urine-based practices. An animal-welfare and climate activist at heart, Rajesh works to protect India's indigenous cow breeds and to build bridges between corporate CSR funds and the gaushalas that need them most — turning goodwill into lasting support through organic marketing and awareness programs.
Brigadier Harish Swami, Trustee
Brigadier Harish Swami spent 36 years in the Indian Army, including service through the 1962, 1965, and 1971 conflicts — a career defined by discipline, courage, and quiet leadership. After his military service, he carried that same strategic clarity into the corporate and education sectors. At Save Cows India, Brigadier Swami lends the Trust his hard-won judgment and steady commitment, helping guide our cow welfare initiatives with the same resolve he brought to a lifetime of service.
Ruchi Kishanpuria, Trustee
Ruchi built her career on numbers that had to add up — as Director of Finance at Ideazfirst Marketing Services and, before that, at Meghalaya Cements Limited. She is now with Heritage Group of Institutions since September 2021. An MBA in Finance from Gujarat University grounds her approach. At Save Cows India, she brings that same discipline to a cause close to home, ensuring every rupee entrusted to the Trust serves its purpose.
Mridul Kishanpuria, Trustee
Mridul joined Board of Trustees in 2024, while still building his own path as a Computer Science undergraduate at VIT Vellore. Between leading innovation initiatives at ISTE, serving as Member Secretary - Technical at VIT, and honing his voice through Toastmasters, he brings a young technologist's energy to an old tradition — helping automate and document the Trust's work on indigenous cow breeds.
