Gynecologist & Obstetrician · Punjab, India
Leading the Department of Gynecology at Shri Guru Amardas Hospital and practicing obstetrics, gynecological surgery, and maternal-fetal medicine at Chirayu Hospital.
A practice built across
years of clinical care, hospital leadership, research, and medical education.
About
Medicine is often practiced under conditions nobody designed for. Showing up anyway is most of the job.
I started my MBBS at Gandhi Medical College in Bhopal in 1984, a few months before the gas tragedy. On the night it happened, the college and its attached hospital became one of the first places thousands of people ran to. I was a first-year student with barely any clinical training, standing in corridors packed with patients and watching senior doctors work through a scale of suffering none of us had prepared for.
I do not think I chose obstetrics and gynecology in a single moment because of that night. But it stayed with me. Ten years later, founding a charitable hospital for women who had no other real access to care felt less like a departure from a normal career and more like the obvious next step.
“I don't think a doctor's job ends at the patient's bedside. Some of it starts long before, in whatever room you happen to be standing in when something goes wrong.”
That has been the throughline since: Rama Charitable Hospital in 1995, Chirayu Hospital in 2000, and now the Department of Gynecology at Shri Guru Amardas Hospital. Alongside clinical practice, I teach MBBS students and postgraduate residents, supervise research, and publish original work.

Research & writing
Diagnostic methods, obstetric ultrasound, translational research, and practical guidance written for patients.
Peer-reviewed · 2026
A prospective study of 100 pregnancies measured umbilical cord coiling by ultrasound at 18 to 20 weeks and tracked outcomes through delivery. The study found no statistically significant link between abnormal cord coiling and adverse pregnancy outcomes, suggesting that larger, multi-center studies are needed before coiling index can be used as a standalone predictive marker.
Peer-reviewed · 2026
A clinical study examining how ultrasonographic findings correspond with the clinical features of polycystic ovarian syndrome in women between 18 and 45 years of age, supporting a more integrated approach to assessment and diagnosis.
Practiced research
Developed and validated a diagnostic protocol using the red litmus paper technique for outpatient rape-case examinations, with a cost-benefit comparison against standard practice.
PhD proposal
Endometriosis affects roughly 1 in 10 women of reproductive age and takes an average of 7 to 10 years to diagnose, largely because laparoscopic surgery, the current gold standard, is invasive and not used as a first-line test. Recent international research has shown that menstrual blood-derived stem cells carry DNA methylation signatures that can distinguish women with endometriosis with around 81% accuracy in early studies. This proposal draws on three decades of clinical gynecological practice and prior diagnostic protocol development to design, validate, and pilot a non-invasive, low-cost diagnostic pathway suited to real-world clinical settings in Punjab and similar regions of India.
Potential research directions
Validate the red litmus paper technique against newer forensic methods, test it across multiple sites or resource settings, and study adoption barriers in outpatient and rural clinics.
Run a larger multi-site validation study, extend it to other placental or cord abnormalities, or test whether AI-assisted ultrasound improves consistency.
Study obstetric care access, cost, and outcomes in charitable versus private hospital models in Punjab, including task-shifting in resource-limited settings.
Compare screening and vaccine uptake barriers across urban and rural Punjab, or evaluate a specific community outreach intervention.
Measure the effectiveness of simulation-based emergency training for residents and care teams working in low-resource settings.
Patient journal
Most pregnancies progress without major complications, but knowing when to seek help early can make the difference between a manageable issue and an emergency.
During your anomaly scan at 18 to 20 weeks, the sonographer looks closely at the umbilical cord, not just the baby. An unusual coiling number is one data point among many, not a verdict.
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers because screening catches changes years before they become serious. The appointment is short, and most results come back completely normal.
After hundreds of cesarean deliveries, I hear the same handful of concerns in nearly every pre-surgery conversation. Here are a few honest answers in plain terms.
The first visit is mostly conversation, not procedures. We discuss cycle history, previous pregnancies, general health, and your partner’s health where relevant.
Every resident asks questions I stopped asking myself years ago, and answering them properly forces me to check my habits against the reasoning behind them. Medicine changes quietly between generations.
