Tejasvi Rana, a resident of Kurukshetra, Haryana, always aspired to be an engineer. She worked diligently in her studies and secured admission to IIT Kanpur after passing the JEE Main and Advanced exams. During her time at the institute, she developed an interest in Civil Services, influenced by the speeches of IAS officers frequently invited to seminars. Impressed by their work, Tejasvi decided to pursue a career as an IAS officer through the UPSC exam.
Her first attempt in the 2015 UPSC exam saw her clear the prelims but fail the mains. Undeterred, she tried again in 2016 and secured the 12th rank, becoming an IAS officer. Post-training, she was allotted to the Rajasthan cadre. To strengthen her basics, Tejasvi studied NCERT books from classes 6 to 12 and chose Economics as her optional subject after careful consideration.
Tejasvi Rana is married to Abhishek Gupta, a 2016 batch IPS officer posted in the West Bengal cadre. Consequently, Tejasvi also received an appointment in West Bengal. Both share a love for dogs and frequently post photos with their pets on social media.
During the lockdown, IAS Tejasvi Rana earned the nickname ‘Lady Singham’ by fining a party MLA, demonstrating that the khaki uniform is not worn to bow to anyone. Her dedication to her work earned her considerable recognition and respect on social media.
