The Big Changemaker

A personality that is worth taking inspiration and learnings from about generosity—Aneel loves to help with all his might, time, and money.

The Backbone

Being the eldest grandson, Aneel was bestowed with responsibilities. It was his grandfather who instilled the principles of nationalism and social service in him. While Aneel’s father Mr Kashi Murarka was the first in the family to venture into business without any financial backing and rise from the ranks of a simple trader to become a manufacturer of certain repute – founder of Mirachem Industriies. Aneel was next in line to prove his mettle.

As a young businessman, Aneel took Mirachem Industriies to newer heights. From the domestic market, he went a step ahead and entered the international arena. He tries to work on zero waste policy at his manufacturing unit.

Generosity in his Genes

For Aneel philanthropy is not just a CSR project but a value and learning which has come down the generations to serve the fellow human beings. An entrepreneur, a humanitarian, producer of public awareness films, a writer, and a driving force behind his social enterprise ‘Ample Missiion’ which has a pan-India presence that focuses its efforts on alleviation of poverty, employment creation, providing education to the underprivileged children and other burning social issues including communal harmony, empowering women and marginal communities, and stand up for the voiceless or the unheard.

Despite being a businessman by profession Aneel found his true calling in being a humanitarian. He strives to bridge the gap between mainstream society and marginalised communities.

With cinema having the power to spur a sea of emotions and inspire thousands together, Aneel understood co-relation between mass media and social outcomes and decided to use his knowledge judiciously.

His films have successfully addressed many important social issues like smoking & tobacco use, cleanliness & Swachhta Abhiyan, menstruation & sanitary pads, teen suicide, breast cancer, road safety, drink & drive, girl child empowerment, and patriotic themes. Recognising his work, Aneel was appointed as one of the ‘Swachh Bharat’ Ambassadors - An honour hitherto reserved only for national celebrities by the Ministry of Urban Development. He began a rapid toilet construction programme and built hundreds of toilets in remote villages of Bihar and Kashmir.
