He believes that sustainable change arises from the union of evidence-based science and compassionate action.

A lifelong learner and clinical research enthusiast, he constantly seeks to amplify the impact of healthcare through multidisciplinary collaboration and meaningful innovation. Whether writing, mentoring, or engaging with communities. His purpose remains clear: to serve with integrity, empathy, and a relentless commitment to better health outcomes for all.

Outside of his professional work, he finds joy and balance through diverse interests. He is an avid cricket player, a voracious reader, and a creative writer. He also has a growing passion for public speaking, digital advocacy, and using visual storytelling to amplify health and social justice narratives.

He believes that leadership is not about titles, but about consistent, value-driven impact. Through science, compassion, and collaboration, he strives to make that impact every day.
