Experience: | 8 years |
Education: | Seth GS Medical and KEM Hospital Mumbai |
Academic degree: | DM (Doctorate of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am trained in DM Interventional Cardiology, and honestly that’s where I’ve kind of settled in... like really found my zone. Most of my day ends up in the cath lab—dealing with complex coronary interventions, structural heart defects, or sometimes peripheral cases that don’t exactly follow the rulebook. It’s not always straightforward—some cases stretch way beyond guidelines or textbook neatness, and you gotta think on your feet, adapt, maybe even rethink mid-procedure.
The kind of stuff I do covers a lot—like bifurcation stenting, chronic total occlusions, primary angioplasties in pretty unstable patients. I’m also into radial interventions quite a bit; the recovery’s better and patients usually walk out faster (when all goes right, of course). Structural work? Yeah, that’s also part of my focus—things like balloon valvuloplasties or newer techs like TAVR.
It’s tough sometimes to keep up with how fast tech keeps shifting, but I try. Attendings, conferences, reading late into night before rounds—it all adds up. |
Achievements: | I am a gold medalist, which still feels kinda surreal to me tbh. That moment, standing there, holding that medal—like all those sleepless nights, missed birthdays, exam panic, it all sort of blurred into that single second. I wasn’t aiming for awards, just wanted to get things *right*, whether it was in anatomy lab or later in clinical postings when the pressure hit different. The medal just kinda happened, maybe because I cared too much or maybe I got lucky? not sure. But yeah, that recognition still pushes me on days I doubt myself or feel totally drained after back-to-back cases. It’s not about flaunting a tag, but it does remind me—I can handle hard things. |
I am practicing interventional cardiology right now, mostly out of KEM Hospital in Mumbai. That’s where a big chunk of my clinical work happens, though honestly, my time’s split between procedures, rounds, teaching, and yep—sometimes the paperwork too. I’m also an Assistant Professor in Cardiology at Seth GS Medical College. Teaching’s not just a side gig, I’m *really* into it. Whether it's residents trying to read an ECG right at 2am or postgrads asking about tricky bifurcation stents, I’m usually right there—sometimes answering, sometimes learning something back. My main focus is interventional cardiology, especially complex coronary interventions, structural heart procedures and peripheral vascular work. I don’t mean just ticking off routine angioplasties. I’m talking CTOs, left main, bifurcations, transradial stuff, TAVRs... you name it. Every case has its own rhythm, and sometimes the unexpected hits you halfway. You adapt. That’s part of the thrill I guess. I’ve been fortunate enough to be invited faculty at quite a few national and even international cardiology conferences—some really intense sessions, like live case discussions that get your heart racing more than the patients. And yeah, I publish too—multiple papers across Indian and global peer-reviewed journals. Clinical research is something I’m actively plugged into, not just reading trials but contributing to them. I’m currently a principal investigator in a bunch of multicentric studies, lot of collaboration, long timelines, endless protocol clarifictions—still, you feel part of something bigger. If I had to sum up, it’s probably this: I believe in staying grounded in hands-on cardiology while also keeping one foot in academics and research. It's messy sometimes—juggling cath lab shifts with lectures or trying to squeeze edits into a paper while reviewing angiograms—but it keeps me sharp. And honestly, it keeps me connected to what matters—my patients, my team and this field I kinda live inside.
