Meet Ankita Goswami

Introduction:

After completing a Bachelor of Legislative Law from the National Law University Odisha, Ankita practiced at the Gauhati High Court for a year. At iProbono, she provides legal support to the company's litigation and transactional projects; she is also involved in research and outreach. 

What is your full name?:

My full name is Ankita Goswami. 'Ankita' comes from the Sanskrit word 'Ankit' which means 'Marked' or 'Engraved'. 'Goswami' is a popular surname in Northern and Eastern India.  

Where do you live? What is your house like?:

I currently live in New Delhi, the capital city of India. My house, which I share with another lawyer, is a standard apartment with two-bedrooms, a hallway and a kitchen.

What is your family like?:

My family consists of my father, my mother, a younger sister and two adorable dogs. My family members are all a little eccentric (like most Indian families are), but they are also extremely loving and caring. My father was an engineer (he is retired now) and my mother is a college professor. My sister is in 11th grade.

How do you get around?:

I prefer traveling by the Delhi Metro because it is an extremely convenient means of transportation in Delhi. However, I usually take an auto-rickshaw to work and back.
