Beyond The Operating Room

Beyond surgery lies the rhythm that defines him — innovation, empathy, movement, and meaning in everything he does.

The Mentor

The Mentor

Training surgeons across the world is both a responsibility and a joy. It’s not just about passing on technique — it’s about passing on trust.

The Father

My children ground me. They remind me that healing starts with listening — not diagnosing.

The Traveler

The Traveler

I find calm in movement. Travel lets me pause, reflect, and return with clarity — as a doctor and a person.

The Student

The Student

I still read every day. Science changes fast. But what hasn’t changed is the need to understand people, not just procedures.

The Speaker

The Speaker

I speak to share what experience has taught me — not just about surgery, but about people, purpose, and progress.

The Innovator

The Innovator

Collaborating with IIT Madras, he’s helping shape India’s first indigenous robotic knee system. For him, innovation means blending science, simplicity, and purpose — to make technology serve both surgeon and patient.

The Athlete

On the badminton court, he finds the same discipline that surgery demands — agility, precision, and endurance. Every game keeps his mind sharp and his reflexes tuned to perfection.

The Collaborator

He thrives where medicine meets engineering. Whether mentoring young surgeons or co-developing solutions with research teams, he believes progress is always a shared effort.

The Listener
