Dear Divine Souls
It gives me immense pride and joy to share the journey of Satkriti Foundation with all of you. Over two decades ago, as I stepped into the field of ENT and healthcare, I realized that access to quality ear and hearing care was something that many in our country, especially in rural and underserved communities, were deprived of. Hearing loss, though often ignored, affects not only an individual’s health but also their ability to connect with the world, live independently, and maintain their quality of life.
This realization sparked a deep sense of responsibility in me, and with that, the Satkriti Foundation was born. It was established with a clear mission—to bridge the gap between need and access by providing quality, affordable, and compassionate healthcare services to those who need them the most. My dream is to see a world where no individual suffers from preventable deafness, and where everyone, irrespective of their financial background, has access to world-class ear and hearing care.
One of the cornerstones of our work is our vision for a Deafness Free India by 2047.
We believe that through early detection, advanced treatment options, and widespread awareness, we can eliminate preventable deafness and ensure that people live fuller, healthier lives with access to sound. This vision has driven everything I have done so far, and it is my hope that Satkriti Foundation will play a major role in making this dream a reality.
In my book, "Silent Epidemic: Unveiling the Burden of Deafness in India," which became an Amazon #1 Bestseller, I have delved deeply into the under-reported crisis of hearing loss and deafness in India. Through my writing, I aim to raise awareness about this silent epidemic and encourage collaboration and commitment toward making deafness prevention a national priority. The book not only highlights the challenges we face but also offers insights and solutions for addressing this growing public health issue.
What drives me every day is not just the surgeries I perform or the treatments we provide, but the hope we bring to families and individuals, the joy of hearing a child say their first words after a cochlear implant, and the confidence we restore in people who can now live without the fear of silence. Satkriti Foundation is my heartfelt effort to extend the best possible care beyond the walls of hospitals and into the lives of people who otherwise wouldn’t have access. We organize free health camps, provide early hearing detection services, offer advanced treatments like cochlear implants, and raise awareness about hearing health and prevention. Our work is driven by compassion, integrity, and a passion to transform healthcare. I am deeply motivated by our vision of a healthier India and a future where no one has to live in the darkness of silence. Together, we are not just treating patients—we are transforming lives. I welcome you to join hands with us on this incredible journey of healing, compassion, and care.
Dear Divine Souls
I am truly honored to be a part of the Satkriti Foundation and its diverse, impactful initiatives. As a diabetologist, my passion lies in promoting a healthy lifestyle and raising awareness about the prevention of diabetes, which is a growing concern not only in India but around the world. Through our work at the foundation, I aim to educate people on the importance of early intervention, healthy living, and regular check-ups to prevent and manage diabetes. In addition to my work in diabetes care, I am actively involved in our mission for a Deafness Free India by 2047. It is a vision that resonates deeply with me, and I feel privileged to contribute toward eliminating preventable deafness in India. We strive to reach underserved communities, provide access to early detection, and offer cutting-edge treatments, such as cochlear implants, to those in need. I believe that by coming together, we can give the gift of hearing to millions and improve their quality of life. Beyond healthcare, I have another initiative close to my heart called Dharohar, which focuses on uplifting the lives of Bunkar (weaver) communities and promoting their rich, dying art. This initiative aims to bring the intricate craftsmanship of Indian weavers to the global stage, offering them new opportunities while preserving and promoting India's artistic heritage. It is my hope that through Dharohar, we can not only support the livelihood of the Bunkar community but also introduce their beautiful creations to the world, ensuring that this timeless art continues to thrive. At Satkriti Foundation, we believe in holistic well-being—whether it is through healthcare, cultural preservation, or social upliftment. I am deeply committed to making a difference, and I encourage each of you to join us in these efforts. Together, we can create a healthier, more vibrant future for all.
