Kuddle Life Foundation

Kuddle Life Foundation is a marine conservation NGO based out of the beautiful coast of Pondicherry, India. We are a group of marine biologists, scuba divers, environmentalists and nature lovers who are passionate about the oceans. We believe a mother’s cuddle is the best healing touch in this world. We would like to bring that magical touch in working for all life forms in this world. We are proud of our geographic roots and we reflect this by choosing the Tamil language word for “ocean”: Kadal or Kuddle.
