Rangjalu is from the Bodo community of Ranapani village of Baksa district in Assam. He has a B.A. in Political Science and works with Manas Maozigendri Ecotourism Agency as a guide and field-assistant. Alongside this he has a fledgling career in modelling and acting from where he first gained an interest in photography and videography. This combined with his interest in the native wildlife of his region compelled him to join Green Hub. Rangjalu’s dream is to travel the world with his camera, making films. He also plays the flute.
