Education and career
editRuchi Anand was born in India.[2] She studied at the Lady Shri Ram College for Women at the University of Delhi and at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, before moving to the United States to conduct her graduate studies at Purdue University.[2] There she obtained her PhD in political science, focusing on the disparities of environmental justice between developed and developing countries.[3] This work became the basis of her first book, International Environmental Justice: A North-South Dimension (London: Ashgate, 2004).

Her prominent appearance in France was in December 2016 when she was interviewed for a Documentary by Maximal Production called ‘L'inquiétant Monsieur Trump’ on France 5 - Le monde en face about the then newly elected President Donald Trump.[13] Another noteworthy documentary in which she appeared is ‘The Illusionist’ by Italian film-maker Elena Rossini.[14] Anand's research interests include international relations, international law, international organizations, foreign policy, environmental policy, politics of developing countries and women's studies.
Ruchi Anand gave a TEDx talk at the ISC Paris on 16 September 2023 which problematizes the idea of home and identity. It talkes about people who have wandered so far away from home that they don't know where home is anymore. The talk got a standing ovation as it gives solutions by using the Japanese art of Kintsugi to piece together 'home' which she argues is a 2-letter word - ME.
