The exhibition is also expected to have an attendance of eminent wildlife enthusiasts and VIPs from the film fraternity.
Expressing his thoughts on the upcoming exhibition, Suyash Keshari said, “It has been my life’s mission to connect people with wildlife because I believe what we can see, we can love, and what we can love, we will fight to protect. Through my photographs, I will be bringing people face-to-face with some of the most charismatic animals transporting them to the wild side through my stories and experiences.”
“It is an honor for me to host this exhibition, through which I intend to sensitize people on the blight of our wildlife and the importance of saving these species and preserving their habitat. I believe this will push people into taking cautious actions toward wildlife conservation. At our end, we are pledging 10% of the proceeds from this exhibition towards conservation efforts, in addition to 100% of proceeds from our apparel sales.” he added further.
Previously, the works of Suyash have been published in over 300+ national & international newspapers along with prominent magazines.

Suyash also has a line of Safari Apparel from which 100% of profits go to these causes.
