India won its first Oscar for 2023 for Netflix's 'The Elephant Whisperer' by Kartiki Gonsalves and Guneet Monga in the Best Documentary Short Film category. The director went on to thank the Academy, producer Guneet Monga, her family and dedicated the win to her 'motherland India.'

With stunning visuals of Tamil Nadu's nature, ‘The Elephant Whisperers’ tells the story of this loving relationship — and earned an Oscar nomination in the documentary short film category.

Guneet Monga bagged her first Oscar back in 2019 as her film 'Period. End of Sentence' won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Film.
