Research Associate
Ranjot’s work centres around the inclusiveness of communities in the energy transition and renewable development, which focuses on socio-economic and legal equities. She engages with communities to understand the ambits of their constitutional rights and legal jurisprudence and fosters an informed and empowered approach to navigate the legal frameworks that support just transitions.
She discovered her passion one rainy day at school, standing in the corridor and wondering: “If there’s a flood in one part of India and drought in another, why aren’t there water pipelines connecting them?” That moment sparked a lifelong journey of questioning inequalities, from the household to broader society. Her academic path shifted from Engineering to Law, marking her first step in addressing these questions. Throughout her studies, she engaged with landless & poor peasantry and women of these communities to understand land issues in Punjab and the Himalayas. She holds a Master's degree in Constitutional Law, focusing on the Right to Water and its commodification aspect.
Beyond her professional interests, Ranjot is passionate about World Art Cinema, Classical Music, Qawwali, Poetry, and Historical and Cultural Narratives. She finds inspiration in the works of Andrei Tarkovsky, Mozart, NFAK, and Nâzım Hikmet. Photography is her way of capturing fleeting moments in time. Her favourite quote is "There is only one God and his name is Death, and there is only one thing we say to Death, Not today” by Syrio Forel.
