Ranjana Gauhar is an independent film producer, researcher and scriptwriter and has successfully produced many television serials and films, and documentaries.

Ranjana has nurtured and developed concepts and proposals for films on a wide range of ideas of interest and concern to the contemporary viewer - environment, women's issues, and culture and mythology in relation to life in the modern world.

Ranjana is a leading exponent of Indian classical dance and has been performing for over 20 years. Her strength is as a dancer which, apart from a love and appreciation of art in general, has given her an overview of the cultural milieu and a great knowledge of history and mythology, and particularly of Indian art and heritage. Art in all its manifestations provides links to life as it is lived today - to inter communal and international relationships, nature, alternative medicine and much more.
