Ramya is Associate General Counsel at Bowery Farming, a New
York-based startup that is revolutionizing the way food is grown by
cultivating crops, without soil, vertically, and indoors. She
started this role—in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic—because
she is passionate about access to food and combating climate change
through innovation. Before this, she spent many years at the New
York office of Skadden Arps, where she worked on regulatory
enforcement and immigration matters. She received a Bachelor of
Science (Honors) at Queen’s University in Kingston,
Ontario, where she was a Chancellor’s Scholar, a Masters of Science
from the University of Oxford, where she was a Clarendon Scholar,
and a J.D. at Columbia Law School in New York, where she was
Editor-in-Chief of the Columbia Journal of Transnational Law. She
has also worked for the Burmese non-profit law firm Justice for
All, as well as the International Justice Program at Human Rights
Watch and the Legal Aid Society of New York.
