Explore the SPOTLIGHT survey's investigation of fast radio transients using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) in this 14-minute conference talk. Learn about the ongoing commensal GMRT survey designed to probe fast radio transients across the sky, including its methodology, current findings, and future potential. Discover how SPOTLIGHT contributes to the broader understanding of fast radio transient populations, from galactic sources like rotating radio transients and magnetars to cosmological phenomena such as fast radio bursts. Gain insights into the survey's role within the international fast radio transient research community and understand how ground-based radio telescopes are advancing our ability to detect and study these mysterious cosmic phenomena. This presentation forms part of the FTSky program's efforts to develop fast radio transient research capabilities and foster collaboration between observational surveys and theoretical understanding of transient astrophysical sources.
