I am honoured to have received the Shakti Award 2026 for Excellence in Contribution to Oncology, presented by the Honourable Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri Devendra Fadnavis, in Mumbai.

This recognition is not just a personal milestone, but a tribute to every patient who has entrusted me with their care, every mentor and student who has inspired me to keep learning and growing.

I am grateful to the Apollo Hospital Navi Mumbai leadership for their support and encouragement.
