“Zoofari is more than a space; it’s a movement. We want children to grow up with compassion, surrounded by nature, culture, and joy. Through experiences like our Diwali Gala, we are blending luxury with purpose — celebrating tradition while giving back to the community in meaningful ways.”

Staying true to its mission, Zoofari will dedicate the proceeds from the carnival to NGOs supported under Sonalika’s CSR initiatives, focusing on underprivileged children and women empowerment.
