Bhavreen Kandhari

Bhavreen Kandhari is a clean air advocate working on this mission for over two decades, transforming her personal concern into a powerful public movement. 

As a co-founder of Warrior Moms, she mobilises mothers across India to demand urgent, systemic solutions to the air pollution crisis. She is known for her steadfast presence in media, courtrooms, and climate summits. Kandhari challenges both complacency and performative fixes, such as smog towers or mist sprayers; instead, on systemic changes and tackling the root causes of environmental harm. Her work reframes clean air as a basic human right and a public health emergency, particularly for children. 

By equipping communities with tools to engage authorities and push back against harmful projects, she represents the powerful convergence of maternal instinct with civic responsibility—and continues to mobilise a growing movement demanding justice for children and their right to breathe.
