Founder of Indian Heritage Services

Citizenship plays an increasingly significant role in the future of travel often granting visa-free travel

Through IHS, Ranjit combines lived experience with legal insight to offer others the same opportunity: to rediscover their roots, resolve generational legal matters, and re-engage with their heritage in a way that is both empowering and transformative.

Ranjit’s family moved frequently across the UK as his parents built businesses in various cities. His father was an entrepreneur who bought and sold businesses, instilling in Ranjit a spirit of resilience and adaptability. Eventually, the family moved to India, where Ranjit, who would later follow in those footsteps, not only in business but in legal perseverance.

After locating to India for five years, he immersed himself in the culture, customs, and legal landscape—building a lifelong connection that has defined his mission ever since.

These real-world experiences have equipped Ranjit with a rare and practical understanding of both UK and Indian legal systems, especially where they intersect.

Ranjit Singh Sethi

Ranjit Singh Sethi is the founder of Indian Heritage Services (IHS), a legal consultancy committed to empowering individuals of Indian origin around the world to reconnect with their ancestral roots, reclaim long-lost property rights, and navigate the often complex legal frameworks of India, the United Kingdom, and other Western nations.

Born in Glasgow, Scotland, to an Indian father and a Scottish mother, Ranjit was raised at the intersection of two rich cultural traditions. This dual heritage instilled in him a deep appreciation for both Eastern and Western values, and provided him with a rare, balanced perspective on life, identity, and law.

Reflecting on his journey, Ranjit shares: “I’ve taken the best of both worlds and brought them together to create a more balanced, meaningful life experience—both personally and professionally.”

Since moving back to the UK, Ranjit continues to travel regularly to India for court cases. This has kept him closely updated on legal changes and current procedures.

Bridging the cultural gap involves actively working to foster understanding, respect, and collaboration.

Through Indian Heritage Services, Ranjit’s mission is to leverage his lived experience and legal understanding to assist individuals of Indian descent—regardless of background, faith, country of origin, or immigration status—in reclaiming ancestral lands, reconnecting with lost family ties, and ultimately, rediscovering a deeper sense of identity and belonging.

Ranjit holds a deep respect for Sikh teachings, drawing inspiration from their values of justice, service, and integrity. Having been raised within the UK Church of England education system, he understands the unique spiritual and cultural duality that many diaspora individuals experience.

This insight allows him to approach each client relationship with empathy, cultural sensitivity, and genuine care.

At its core, Indian Heritage Services is more than a legal consultancy. Under Ranjit’s leadership, it becomes a bridge between generations, a guide through legal complexities, and a compassionate partner on the journey back to one’s heritage.
