Mr. Sushilkumar Agrawal, the visionary CEO of Mintage World and a life member of the Bombay Natural History Society shares his thoughts on the project: “In India, parrots hold a special place in our cultural and historical narratives, from ancient texts and paintings to popular epics and folktales. As a lifelong lover of wildlife, my journey into the world of endangered parrots is fuelled by a deep commitment to understanding & protecting these exceptional birds. I have sought to explore and document the often-overlooked stories of these susceptible parrot species worldwide, uncovering the devastating realities of their illegal trading along the way. This book is not just a collection but a heartfelt mission to raise awareness, combining my passion for nature with the storytelling potential of Mintage World. With this book, we aim to pay tribute to these cherished creatures and raise awareness about their challenges. This collectible has been in the making for a long time, ensuring that every detail is accurate and authentic.” Going ahead, Mintage World will be launching various collectibles of stamps, coins & notes issued on famous historical national & international personalities, political leaders, monuments, animals, birds, flowers, sports, festivals, important events etc.
