13th March, 2023, was a day of pride for India when Netflix's Elephant Whisperers which has been created by Kartiki Gonsalves and produced by Guneet Monga, made history by becoming

the first film produced in India to win an Academy Award in the “Documentary Short Film category at the 95th Oscars. The overwhelming admiration and praises received on the Oscar

Win has overjoyed the Producers Guneet Monga, Achin Jain, and Director Kartiki Gonsalves, and the protagonists of the film Bomman and Bellie. The heartwarming documentary is a

journey into Bomman and Bellie's world and their efforts in raising baby elephants, co-existing with nature, and sharing their space and home with animals of the forest. They are

delighted to see and hear the adulation their story is receiving from across the world. On bringing Bomman and Bellies' story to life and being recognized worldwide, Kartiki

Gonsalves mentioned, “It is absolutely incredible to have an Indian Indigenous documentary on the sacred bond between man and nature on our very own Asian Elephants to be

recognized around the world. I still remember when I showed them the final film in a private viewing in October of 2022. There is no greater feeling in the world than to present to

Bomman and Bellie everything I have worked on over the last five years to bring their story to the world and to watch them smile and laugh and cry while watching it. That I must

admit is the most beautiful feeling in the world. She further added, “I didn't just make a documentary on them, they are an integral part of my life along with Sanjana, Raghu,

and Ammu. It was also a very special moment when I took my parents to their house. We are all family. I am extremely grateful to Netflix and Sikhya Entertainment's excellent team

for believing in the power of this very unique family story. It is truly an honor to be the first-ever Indian director to receive a prestigious Academy Award. With this win, I hope

to encourage more young women and men to go out and tell their unique stories however small they might be and to also work on more stories to help connect humans to nature and to

better understand it.” Guneet Monga on Bomman and Bellie being felicitated mentioned, “The days following the ceremony have been so incredibly gratifying. The immense love the

film is receiving worldwide and the incredible appreciation of people from across the globe has been overwhelming. This opens up a whole new audience for the documentary and I'm

happy that the intent and message of our film will further reach millions. Also the impact the film has had and the love for the amazing duo of Bomman and Bellie is for me
